speaking of the word "love" ...you should check out the movie "waking life" it was an independent film about 10 years old but essentially it talks about inert words like "love" and what your perception of it will be totally different than what i perceive as being "love" ...right now, i love the conversation that we are having, but I LOVE my wife in a different, way than this. These words are inert since its only THIS example that im able to use that specific word
I believe that "trying to understand everything" is absolutely futile.
google, wiki, etc...are GREAT at giving you an idea about subjects..but being a subj matter exp is far from an article from any of these sites.
I am only at the beginning phase of trying to understand...maybe i am a bit slow on discrediting religion but until i can answer the questions fired at me, i am not ready to move onto a phase of changing it.
the way iv been reading religious texts has been from a philosophical stand point....but from my understanding....religion is easily falsifiable on the premise that ....to create the universe, the creator must be more advanced than which has been created...(god) yet, here we are today..discussing what god wants, god needs, etc.....yet we are not nearly as advanced as the creator...its as if we are gears in a cola machine trying to explain how the machine was designed.
its hard to tell if you were meaning that you were one thing and are now another....but if i can provide any ...well, any relief to you and your feelings of being unsure
I just wrapped up a BA in Law..iv studies in a way or another religion, law, history, etc....yet to this day i will not call my self an atheist.
I am a person seeking god. ...there are hundreds of religious books that i have not yet read and until I do, i cannot discredit what i dont understand.
honestly, i dont buy the "i was once an atheist" nonsense he spills ....
check my video about christianity vs shockofgod and a few others....per shocks own "independent poll" ....about 80% of everyone with a post grad degree believe in evolution vs about 80% with a 9th grade education believe in creationism....this just shows you how much education has an influence on your perspective. ...so the more you study, the more you believe in things like evolution.what do they teach?
And, SOG, could you please STOP RIDING YOUR FRIGGIN' BIKE WHILE YOU PROSELYTIZE AND RANT AND MAKE VIDEOS, INSTEAD OF PAYING ATTENTION TO YOUR DRIVING! You may be immortal but the sucker you kill may be one of us lesser beings with only ONE LIFE, you gargantuan, leather clad prick.
