@Lushiro The first post I ever made on SW was "The first post in this group must be... why is this group in the 'religion' community?"

It's time to fix that... is there a 'Reason and Reality' group?

No need for a higher power to be "real" or not. Whether i believe this chaos has an absent father to provide it with guidance or not.
A) i know earth is here to provide for us and B) that energy (intent) and patience are better than blind faith.
Also C) effort in gets product out.

My knowledge of cause and effect is not a lack of belief in a "creator" or not. My belief is in reality and a pursuit to better understand its functions and purpose. Atheism is not contradictory to "zombie worship" (oops i mean stories of GODs son Jesus). but reality is It was plagarized from Persia (zorarathustra) or japan (The Emperor\Futunari) or juadism (King David) or Hinduism (Vishnu?). Or the originals Adam (Samael) and Eve (Naomi)
Idk its on repeat.
May your repeating of a story make you immortal as part of the human zeitgeist!
May quetzlcoatl (Mayan) forever be in your heart!

And I will pray that change will be persistent, as it always was throughout time itself. Past, present and future.

Everything changes. Even concepts change, fictional or not. Even change changes, by its own rates of change.

If it doesn't change in some way, it doesn't exist. A void.
Hello, Lushi ! You may recall I’m not religious, but it’s good to see you again. Hope you’ve been well.

@bijouxbroussard Hey you! Right back at you! Yes I remember and I respect boundaries. All one can do is leave the invitation letter :)
Jesus help me to accept the Love of God as it is being shown to me.
No thanks... Real love, sure. But "love" of God as it is being shown? I'd rather not.

@NerdyPotato I disagree with not needing God to be good, since we have His Traits embedded in the fabric of our souls, hence why everyone has similar traits and personalities. Without His Grace no one could think a good thought or perform a good action, believer or not. He is the source of every good and we carry His blueprints. We either participate in His Love and Goodness or we create evil on our own.
@Lushiro let me put it this way then: we don't need to read a holy book or perform rituals to be a good person.
Lushiro · M
@NerdyPotato While the Bible and virtue with moral relativity aren't completely dependent on each other because God gives each person enough light in their conscience to know good from evil, it can enhance ones understanding of what God expects from us and how we are supposed to treat each other, guidelines are always helpful and edifying.
I invite you to pray the Shahada. If you take one step toward Allah, he will take ten steps toward you.

I don't need or want to "pray". Period.

You are praying to the wrong god. Our true Lord and Savior is Loki. Repent and ask Loki to help you believe.

Here is my prayer:

The First Amendment to the United States Constitution reads:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

@Lushiro That wouldn't be an irony - it would be a direct violation of the Constitution of the United States.
Lushiro · M
@newjaninev2 Unfortunately with most of the government and authorian hierarchies consumed by Masons and members of the One World Order, the protection of the constitution as we know it will be irrelevant. They have that much power, yes.
@badminton Tell that to the people facing the US military on their own soil. I'm sure they're really feeling the "freedom of self expression" right now.

I will not partake in this display of blasphemy.

May Ahura Mazda guide you toward Asha and away from Druj, by the Amesha Spentas.
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
So you want people who find no compelling necessity to even entertain the proposition of magical entities to entreat those entities even though there is no compelling necessity to even entertain the proposition of their existence?

that's... irrational
SpudMuffin · 61-69, M
Do you actually know what an atheist is?
Lushiro · M
@SpudMuffin Perhaps not according to your standards, but even hard core atheists have some dormant curiosity about God and hope that He exists. It's inevitable since every person carries God's blueprint on themselves.
SpudMuffin · 61-69, M
@Lushiro no. An atheist doesn't believe in god, so if they have doubts they are an agnostic. You can waffle on about 'god's blueprint', but that's meaningless.
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
@Lushiro
does not believe or rejects the existence of God

dormant curiosity about God

1. there's no proof that gods exist
2. there's no proof that gods don't exist
3. there's no compelling necessity to even postulate the existence of gods, and the postulation explains nothing (not even itself)... it merely tries to explain everything away.
4. therefore, I have no gods (I'm an agnostic atheist).

No beliefs required.
No rejection required.
No curiosity whatsoever.
