Is God earthly? Check the definition of selflessness and selfishness grin

Pleasing others often comes at a cost to you as a person. It is not always pleasant or pleasurable but when we still go ahead and please others despite these uncomfortable position then are we selfless.

The definition of selflessness does not say you do not consider yourself what it says is that YOU CONSIDER OTHERS ABOVE YOURS. This means when compared, you often CHOOSE others above yours. Get it now?
if you were to consider others above yourself, that means that you are not considering yourself. If you help people in need not because you empathize with them only but because you empathise and obey God. The n empathising to obey God and helping gets done out of a selfish reason i.e to obey God

Wrong!

The phrase is considers others ABOVE yourself and not CONSIDER OTHERS ENTIRELY! If you look hard enough you would notice the difference.

I repeat pleasure does not always follow selflessness. Selflessness can come with emotional pain and trauma especially when your efforts at doing good is turned around to make you look bad or actually does.

So claiming that pleasure ALWAYS accompanies selflessness is an error on your part.

Lol a pest and a butterfly?

Yea

I'm interested in the query by Butterflyl1on. Being irreligious or atheistic shouldn't compel you to stop at seeing the world for what it truly is. Of course, life is somewhat hopeless; we live to die someday. Consciousness is Pain. However, religious Ideologies provide hope. Be it false or not, the hope is real to those who experience it; its their reality.
Though I'm irreligious and poke holes in the Christian doctrine for its many outrageous and unfounded claims, I give it credit for the hope (opium) it successfully provides the hopeless populace. We all need to be happy whether theist or atheist.

Ignorance is bliss, but its price is destruction!

If I am selfless because I want to obey God it's simply because I CHOSE to obey him not for me but for the sake of others. I could have as well chosen to disobey him and live for myself.

Yes abortion is one of the destructive solutions Atheism has to offer. Hitler was an undercover Atheist, it is frightening to see the implications of this for an unwary humanity.

As an undercover Atheist Hitler offered humanity abortions, institutionalized euthanasia, horrific Frontal Labotomies without anesthesia, gas chambers to solve racial problems.

Pesty100, your Atheist beliefs will make Hitler proud. You will make a women suffer for your selfish lust. Atheists force their woman to undergo cruel Sterilization or use poisonous medication to block all pregnancy while the Atheist greedily deposits his SATANIC sperm into her, year after year as her soul dries up.

I never said atheism had dogmas all I asked is what the alternative aimed to achieve and what direction does it aim to lead as an alternative. (do you get it now?)

So you do not know what atheism has to offer humanity? Is that statement of yours not showing that I was right all along that atheism is hopeless? Is a blind guide leading the blind.

Since you personally do not know what atheism has to offer humanity WHAT THEN IS YOUR PERSONAL PURPOSE FOR BEING AN ATHEIST?

at least people become something or follow something for a reason. Are you following blindly? Your "I don't know" declaration says you are.
Butterdflyl1on your questions are indeed deep and probing ones, in the domain of Satanism.
My experience is that most people embrace Atheism have criminal tendencies, they are easily recruited from criminal gangs, children that hate their parents, those that hate authority, those that hate moral and ethical restraints and bullies.

Serious Satanists troll Sites for Atheists because atheists are already spiritually separated and therefore are easy pickings.

I notice in many of your refreshing dialogues with Atheists, that you are very aware of their deception when you ask them questions about Atheists purpose and mission in humanity.

Satanism is at its very core Atheistic. Therefore Atheism as we experience it is but a tool of recruitment deeper into Satanism.

You say LIFE IS VALUABLE yet you say you would not hesitate to end it all if it becomes unbearable cheesy

This means life indeed isn't valuable to you. It's not it's limited nature that makes it valuable and if indeed this limitation makes it valuable why then do you see only pain, selfishness and suicide in it?

Is taking life more valuable than keeping life? You just said taking life (suicide) is more valuable than life itself (under certain conditions).

My worldview says that there is no condition that should be more valuable than life. Suicide is never an option even when all is seemingly unbearable.

You are still declaring the hopelessness in atheism for all to see wink grin

The hopelessness he is declaring in Atheism, is at the heart of Satanism.
Satanists have created Atheism, as a highly effective recruitment tool. Much of Atheists arguments can be traced back to HItler, He used the same principles to crush every Godly thing in Europe, Germany.

Atheism starting from its definition has holes in it . The 'Lack of belief in God ' definition makes rocks , tissues , even the planets atheists . And when you lack something that means you are expected to have it . Meaning that atheism is like a deficiency. See? Holes everywhere !

Ok. lets try again for the very last time. Man lives a two-fold life, an outer material life and an inner emotional-mental life. His outward deeds and actions are simply the result of his inner thoughts and feelings.

The world which you do not see, the unseen world of thought and feeling, is the real world of causes ; the world which you see around is the world of mind/spirits effects.

Because man expresses his inner self by his outer actions, it may safely be said that his outer life corresponds to his inner life. The world as a whole in itself is nothing else but the expression of God/Overself, the very thought of God expressed.

Man, in his own little way, is also a creator and is creating his own world, the world of his own experiences the expression through which he lives. If mans tiny created world conflicts with the large God created world, man has then separated himself by his own actions and is easy prey to the opposite forces of Darkness.

Why do Atheists battle and sweat to understand what you are saying? Very sad.

Religions are the most effective institutions to teach man destiny. As a man creates his own destiny by his thoughts and feelings and actions he gets back unerringly from life sooner or later what he himself gives to life. There is no escape.

We are here to learn, to learn who and what we are. And to worship the Creator with obedience. That is the purpose of our birth, and the experiences of life are the lessons which will ultimately teach you. Mentorship is crucial to rapid progress. Choose a good mentor.

Mostly we learn blindly and unconsciously, but still we are learning. It is unfortunate that most men learn more from sufferings
than from pleasures. Unfortunate because they seldom learn enough with a single sorrow. It has to be repeated at great cost. Wisdom dont come cheap.

Kingebukasblog, Compliments of the season to you and your family, it is good to see you back Sir.

You make goods points here. I trust you dont mind me adding what I have noticed, about something all Atheists have in common;
It is the way they use nerve racking circular questioning, they are trapped in this closed loop. They never get out, to consider solutions to the very problems their questions create. Their method of question creates an ever bigger stream of opportunities for themselves to feast on. They seem to believe that their questions are the highest expressions of knowledge.

Atheists are not solution driven. God help humanity if they were. Just look at what that Atheist Hitler came up with or recently the leader of Atheism Richard Dawkins. God help Humanity !!

To summarize: Atheists should stick to questions. Please leave solutions to world religions.

I lack a strong belief in many other unfounded myths and ancient folklore.

Compliments of the season Felixomor, and to your family. It is good to see you again. Long time no see. Welcome back.

The confusion came when he started mixing abstract/spiritual ideas with his own.

I wish to gently add that he should hold it upper most in his mind that there are times when misfortunes are cups of blessing and they should be accepted. There are also times when good gifts are cups of poison, and they should be rejected. Only by spiritual wisdom can we judge between them.

The ego, is an enemy ; it can become our friend. It is our enemy so long as it monopolizes our attention.
It becomes our friend when we push ego aside and say, "Not my will, but Thy will be done." Jesus Christ is a great example of this.

If we look for that which is behind our personal self, our personal life, our mind, our body, for that what is true reality and spirit, you will find peace. No one can rob you of it ; no one can take it away from you. You will have found life eternal.

THE CONFUSION ENDS !!
