TheBigUrban2: Guy, spill the beans... 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. |

PastorAIO: ... Here we go again....I believe you've been as straight as a die... I believe if Neymar had played, Brazil wouldn't have got beaten 7-1 by Germany in the Tournament for this world cup I believe that appreciating taste is relative though |

TheBigUrban2:Riiiiight! I get it. You're looking for the one liner, put it in the box, lazy man's approach to life and thinking. O ma se o! I'm sorry that I can be of no help to you. Perhaps one day you'll learn to think without recourse to boxes and labels and then we'll actually be able to have a conversation. |

TheBigUrban2: Come to the real world....labels are inevitableDon'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: 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. |
