Guy, spill the beans



What is your belief?

... Here we go again....

I believe many things. Here are a few of them.

I believe that the universe is infused and suffused with Intent.

I believe that knowing and harmonising with this Intent (singular or plural would be going into too much detail for now) is the key to Living a Good Life.

I believe that to call myself a christian will cause me to be identified with too many people that I have absolutely nothing in common with, so I avoid it.

I believe, that the Bible is not the basis of christianity, but in fact the bible is an artifact of the church which precedes it. I believe this is the cause of much of my misunderstanding with many so called christians.

I believe I ought to start a thread on Religion and what it means to me so that next time I get asked this age old question again I can just referred the questioner to the thread and save time.

I believe that no matter how much I know or whatever concepts I form about reality, the True will always confound my concepts and my beliefs. In other words I can never actually grasp the truth with my limited brain. Someone called this stance perspectivism and I see no reason to deny that.

I believe that I am bound by nature to always form ideas and concepts about God, the world, reality etc, and I cannot help it, however if I take my beliefs with an appropriate measure of salt ( maybe a pinch, maybe a teaspoon, maybe a whole bottle) then I reckon I'll be better off than those others who stamp their feet and whinge and whine when their beliefs are proved to be unfounded either by argument or by actually circumstance.

I belief in practice and experiment as ways of keeping up with the Truth. In other words I have a fair bit of contempt for armchair theology/philosophy. Or to put it another way, Reading the bible or any other religious book for that matter does nothing for you, and will only help you in vacuous debate with other airheads. But in order to grow spiritually one needs to take up the practice of an actual spiritual discipline. From the results of this practice you will know whether what you're following is worthwhile or not.

I believe that there are pros and cons to practicing religion within a cult.

I believe that most 'christians' are more devoted to their cult than they are to their actual religious practice.

I believe Messi shouldn't have been awarded the Player of the Tournament for this world cup.

I believe that anyone that doesn't appreciate me has poor tastes.

etc etc etc.

Don't mind those two heathens. A"serious person" like you shouldnt be arguing with people without brain cells.
As a spokesman for ants, I totally concur with the last sentence. Im also a "serious person" now, but i dont think the first vibration of reality was a female. It was a transgender vibration. Ask nwankwo, he learned it when he reincarnated as a dog living in a buddhist temple, 1000 years ago. He feels the vibration now and he can articulate beautifully because he's also a "serious person. Kpele, dont mind them jare. Carry on.

Perhaps because you are an ant and God is the Planet Pluto?

Or perhaps because you are a white blood cell and God is a human being?

Or perhaps because you are a grain of sand and God is the Earth?

Or perhaps because you are a drop of water and God is the Ocean?

You see, it makes no sense for minuscule beings such as ourselves to assert that things bigger than our perceptive capacity, by that reason alone, CANNOT exist.

Don't confuse the real world with the world of human ideas and concepts.

It might pay you to reflect on what I'm saying here:
