Butterflyleo: cc mynd44 and seun kindly move this thread to the right place it should be which I believe is the literature section.
Harry potter and whatever is being discussed here clearly does not have any religious leaning. Mynd44 and seun, where do you get the idea that Harry Potter has no right to be in the religious section? Have you not read the books? Are you not aware that JK Rowling was using the Jesus template and his fight over evil in the narrative of her books? I humbly request that you move this thread back to the religious section where it belongs, and I demand an apology for moving it in the first place without consulting me! |

Butterflyleo: Why do you enjoy misrepresenting people by trying to force your own view to reality when your view is clearly wrong.
Here you are trying to use my thread to cite an example and claim I shot myself with the thread when I rather showed you how you cannot and will never be able to remove objectivity from a premise that has already been set out of which other inferences have been drawn. As long as there was a foundation already given then subjectivity dies as the premise already gave the pedestal to objectivity.
The thread actually highlighted the ease with with you and fellow atheists can be easily so close minded that you would never be able to see objectivity even when it is a fat red man dressed in a lemon coloured jacket and sitting right in front of you.
Kindly stop misrepresenting me and trying to force your views on people despite them being wrong, and trying to make my thread what you "think" it was when on same thread you were the one who couldn't see beyond your nose of subjectivity.
This comment was just to clear the air and also clear your fogged up mind. I will not respond if you reply. I do not like people when they deliberately want to misrepresent people just to make themselves look right when they are wrong. Why do you so enjoy misrepresenting yourself? |

johnydon22: I wanted to raise an argument later on the subjectivity or objectivity of morality and have a long discussion how objectivity in morality either must include or not necessarily include God or external influences to put a lid on that long standing argument. A recent example of ones subjectivity clouding their objectivity was butter's recent atheist thread in which he shot himself with his gun that shoots both ways. The thread highlighted the ease with which one can be objectively blinded by ones very own subjectivity. |

vaxx: A kind of placebo effect i guess. scientist are still yet to understand why it works. Not quite. Placebo implies a sugar pill. We say n'kan ti o n'duni ni po loro eni loosely translated, "that which concerns one most is what one constantly thinks of". It has been found that constant gnawing on a problem produces a solution. Might be why one is asked to "seek", because that's how one 'finds'. Prayer is a mind concentrator. It helps the individual focus the mind so that inner energy is awakened. Below is something on prayer in Buddhism. In Buddhism, prayer is primarily utilized for its internal purposes. It is practiced to awaken the practitioner’s inner bodhichitta, or Buddha nature. This concept can be defined as the fundamental compassionate vital energy; an energy that is as much present in the cosmos as it is within the individual. The process of prayer aids the practitioner in uniting himself with the cosmos by awakening this inner energy and consequently tapping into otherwise unused sources of wisdom, empathy and knowledge. The various types of meditative Buddhist prayer serve to calm the mind; bringing it to a state conducive to developing a strong and compassionate heart. |

vaxx: No. but i just read about it now..... i saw so many similarities . Technically expert use language or an other symbolical format to change our subconscious programming which affects our feelings and neurology.....
for example if we change the way we see things (in our memories / recorded movies) or the way we feel about things (reframing how we interpret what something means about us) then it completely changes how we feel and react in a given situation or react to a specific trigger.
can an NLP coach hypnotized? That's nlp, in a nutshell. Some have claimed the same process applies in prayer. When a prayer prays regularly and consistently for the same things, their whole being is reprogrammed to make those prayers come true. I doubt hypnotism is a part of it though, as it involves conscious effort on the part of the person being coached. |

FOLYKAZE: This question is not directed to me, but please permit me to address it.
Olodumare does not mostly interfare in the affair of humankind. What do we need him for when we have our Ori (personal deity) and Orisha as extention. Eledumare can be classified as Deistic God. There is nothing like Ojúbo Eleduare, except some Orisha shrine. Therefore, Eledumare can be exonerated from evil act.
Freewill is the basic foundation of ATS. It is peculiar before physical existence. Before birth, we freely choose our destiny (Orin/ipin) in the abode of Ajala. Whatever we tend to do in physical life is a mirror of our existence in spiritual realm (iponri).
Those who chose Ori rere will be prosperous while those who chose Ori buburu will become impoverish. But from what I learnt, Ori búburú has to do with bad behaviour. This is why Yoruba say, ti mo ba de ajule Orun, nibi a n gbe yan ori, rere ni ma yan (if I return to the spiritual world, in the place where Destiny can be chosen, I will pick the good one). This implies that the harmony of good and evil are what makes existence continual. Foly, I hope you don't mind my borrowing. It is rather apt. butterflylion: You are being set up. Do not say I did not warn you.

You are protected, in short, by your ability to love! The only protection that can possibly work against the lure of power like Voldemort's! In spite of all the temptation you have endured, all the suffering, you remain pure of heart, just as pure as you were at the age of eleven, when you stared into a mirror that reflected your heart's desire, and it showed you only the way to thwart Lord Voldemort, and not immortality or riches. Harry, have you any idea how few wizards could have seen what you saw in that mirror? It Takes a Village to Raise a Chosen One |

The Trio
Professor McGonagall: "Why is it, when something happens, it is always you three?"
Ron Weasley: "Believe me, Professor. I've been asking myself the same question for six years. — The trio's talent for trouble
The Trio, sometimes known as the Golden Trio, is a popular name for the three main characters of the Harry Potter series. The Trio, hence the name, holds three members, being Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger. The trio is often allied with the Order of the Phoenix and Albus Dumbledore.
Members Harry Potter was one of the most famous wizards of modern time, also known as the 'Boy who lived' and the 'Chosen One'. He is known for being the cause of Voldemort's first downfall and is responsible for the Dark Lord's final defeat. Harry was also the teacher/leader of Dumbledore's Army and was the best in his year at Defence Against the Dark Arts. After the Second Wizarding War he became an Auror and rose to the position of Head Auror at the age of 26. By the summer of 2020 Harry was promoted to the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.
Ron Weasley assisted Harry and Hermione in the hunt for Voldemort's Horcruxes and fought in the Battle of Hogwarts. Ron was a member of Dumbledore's army and demonstrated a talent for Wizard's Chess. After the Second Wizarding War he became an Auror, along side Harry. Ron was an Auror for two years before retiring and joining his brother George at Weasley's Wizard Wheezes.
Hermione Granger assisted Harry and Ron in the hunt for Voldemort's Horcruxes and fought in the Battle of Hogwarts. Hermione was the founder of Dumbledore's army and was top of her year, while attending Hogwarts. After graduating Hogwarts she went to work for the Ministry of Magic, working in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures and the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Hermione eventually became Minister for Magic. 1 Like 1 Share |

HappyPagan: Yeah, I did.
About 14.
Huge one. I once had a habit of going through the whole series at least twice a fan.
Harry Potter isn't the typical superhero stereotype (large muscles, big brains, superhuman powers). Rather, his victories come through a combination of luck, help from friends, and most importantly, a firm belief in his abilities.
Hollywood painted it a sort of kiddy Halloween special, but for me, the books tell a much deeper story : of friendship, family, and the eternal fight between good and evil. My eye, Happy! There is water in my eye, Pagan, thank you! Question 4The first book was published by Bloomsbury, 26 June 1997. How long after it was published did you read it? |
