MizMyColi:Yeah the eastern religions of India especially emphasise so much on good breathing and teach it. Yoga things. Even without going through yoga it requires discipline. There are Videos on YouTube teaching how to breathe |

MizMyColi:We have the same mind in this regard. Find out about a very interesting Christian sect called the Quakers founded by George Fox in the 17th century. They lay emphasis on the ability of every man to experientially access the small light within or that of God within. When Quakers gather for their meetings, they seat down quietly for long each one listening for the voice of God within. Not preaching as such. Quakers stress that Christ has come to teach his people himself and they emphasise direct relationship and knowledge of God gained through direct religious experience and by reading and studying the Bible. They have very radical views on the scriptures though. I enjoyed reading Quaker writings when I was searching. You can read isaac Pennington's writings at qhpress.com. |

Sarassin:I wanted to highlight some part of your writings but everything you wrote is of importance. First take the notion of 'the chosen' people propaganda pushed in the bible which people swallow without questioning. So the whole world should just believe that the Jews were chosen by God and this fact is contained only in their own literature. The Bible itself says in the mouth of two or three witnesses a matter is established. So who is the independent third party to verify this facts? Again there are serious doubts that the passover ever happened. The Egyptians were highly developed at that point in time in history. They kept good records of everything that pertained to their lives yet historians have not found one single reference to the enslavement of the isrealites in Egypt. Imagine if America having enslaved the blacks has no single document referencing that fact. How plausible can that be. The history in the bible is pseudo, invented history mixed with real history. It's mashed up one can hardly know which is real history and which is pseudo history. Read the work of a Jew named shlomo Sand 'The invention of the Jewish people'. You can download it. It's central thesis is that the Jews are an ahistorical people whose history is invented rather than real. 2 Likes |

kkins25:their god doesn't talk to them, its all an illusion cuz I've always noticed their god seems to agree with them a bit too much, so much so that I could've sworn they're talking to themselves [Nicholas Epley at the University of Chicago] found that when people contemplated God’s opinions, their brains activated similarly to when they were contemplating their own opinions the same was not true when they contemplated the opinions of other people.

hopefulLandlord:I concur with you and Analize701. Both of yah are actually right, however I won't go as far as with Analice107 though, that the pope is a hellenist analize701:I stand to corrected, as I don't want to fall out with Analice107. Isn't hellenisim, influence by all that Greek civilization is about, which could be adopting its architecture, adopting the language, adopting Greek culture, ideals, character, philosophy, adopting its sports or games etcetera analize701: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUoIu6Ygrl0 It's believers who don't worship idols. Christians worship idols and/or gods |

Re: Ducking Out Of Church by Emmanystone: 3:13pm On Dec 31, 2017 |
MuttleyLaff:Christians don't worship idols, as a Christian is a follower of Christ. There's a difference between Church attendance and being a Christian. Every Christian is a believer. The Pope is a Catholic. There's no aspect of Hellenism that's not found in the RCC. |

Mujtahida: They say "whose land whose God" very interesting, and I do agree with a lot of what you've written here. I will look for that book and see what Shlomo Sand has to say. |

Hello guys. Year is ending. It has been another very fruitful year. I enjoyed all the pains, and all the glory. In all times, I remembered even in the darkest moment, life is worth being experienced. Everything is but an experience, and at the end of it all, there remains only a remembrance, a souvenir. I enjoyed all of you here, those who are as docile as Lambs and those who are as ferocious as Tigers. I love you all. Let us, next year, continue to expect and welcome the unexpected, evil or good, and let us enjoy it, for it is an experience. What is black today, shall be white tomorrow, and vice versa. 7 Likes |
