few ever consider the idea of the universal burrito theory which is that time is constantly overlapping upon itself therefore trying to define past, present and, future really does not work very well at all.
Usually events such as this a response to something you have done in your current present your current past or, long past as future events are not commonly known about by many people and, the few who do have a insight aren't talking about it because they know that knowing about a future event can have serious effects on whta we consider the present.
If you were to know about an event that was going to happen in your life and, u tried to prevent it from occuring in that one area of your life that same event will still occur but, in effect in a completely different area of your life. Which means that somehow it is something that u yourself have incurred and, invarriablely therefore have inflicted upon yourself to have happen to u at this point in time.
Good and, Evil are Theologically Objectifying terms that have been placed on everything Films that have done this are as follows: 1.The Exorcist Films 2.Rosemary's Baby 3.The Hand that Rocks the Cradle 4.The Omen 1-4 5.Bless the Child 6.The Truth about Demons 7.Constantine 8.Legend These are films that allways prostylytze Christian Mysticism as it has been put in a palettable context that hollywood has no problem with digesting.
All things of Science are extractions, disections and, magnifications of nature.
The irony with religion and, science is that they similtaneously support and, negate each other. one could say that time is a human concept but, its not solely as nature may not have given a name to what it was doing but, humans did. and, our firts measurements of time came via a sundial.
We did not even know that space existed till the modern era of the first space flight which was the 1950's
Here's another idea about the stone. If God is non dualistitc then he can easily come in the form of a being that cannot lift the stone, and another that can lift the stone. In essence he is both capable and incapable of lifting the stone. Schrödinger's cat applied.
Thank you! It is really thought-provoking what you say here. I like the way you approach your topics, as you "conceptualize". Now I am desperately interested to know how You hardly ever touch the side of biology? "evil ... light side, dark side ... desires" I mean, where are the basics? Genetics, chemical reactions, reproductive pressure, hormones? I'm very very much interested about your thoughts on the biological side of human limitations, and religion from that approach.
However, logic tells us that paradoxes are meant to revolve around a central idea, leaving you in a circle with no definite answer. Therefore, the only actual way to get around this paradox is challenge logic itself, since human comprehension is limited. If logic itself is finite, it is not meant to be used to understand an infinite system, aka circles, which is exactly what a paradox is in this case. So therefore, God can exist outside of the laws of logic.
You touch on very good points, I agree with most everything you say. People forget the causality in magnetisim in everything that exists in our world, which might cause them to question their "idealistic" beilefs. Mostly in the science behind what they beileve... We need more introspective people in the world. Thank you for your light sister.
if god lives outside of time and such he is still relavent to it. If there is only one thing in space you wouldn't know if it is moving unelss there was another ball, but then one becomes relavent to the othert. The universe is god. All ideas and words are forms of anthropormorphism and the only way to deter from that lack of awareness you must let it go, and that "it" is you, because it was never there to begin with.
Well I did a video on this an how god could lift the stone. Think of it this way Jesus was god but Jesus had the limitations of man so god would make a large stone an Jesus (God) could not lift it. But God could just not in man form. (Of course god could make man so strong that there was no stone he could lift but he did not.)
You're by far the most intelligent person I've come across on youtube. Very few people have your ability to step outside of human constructs and verbalize their thoughts the way you do. Your accent is also remarkably charming.
5'd and faved. I agree with almost all you say here, but I would quibble about "not believing in" good and evil because they obviously don't exist outside the human sphere. Everything we perceive, whether we label it objective or subjective, exists within the human sphere, including the idea of objective truth. G&E exist as much as love, guilt, desire, humor, etc. exist. They can't be absolutely defined, but they can't be escaped either, except by becoming inhuman.
I believe in them as concepts in human language, I just don't think they actually exist within human behaviour. We may call someone good or evil, we may even believe ourselves to be good or evil, but I think the concepts are a fallacy... there is no such thing as evil or as good - there's just stuff.
There is no way to disprove God, any more than there is to prove God. Thus to assert He does not exist is to adopt a belief system. It's unproveable belief systems which atheists condem. So... show me an atheist, and I'll show you a hypocrite.
My theory is that we're all agnostics at core. But agnostism brings grave uncertainties about morality and a hoped-for afterlife. It's frightening. So we cheat and pretend and hope. A race of wishful thinkers.
As an atheist, I don't believe that the responsibility is mine to disprove the existence of a god or gods. No, I can't disprove the existence of a god but why would I do this anyway? A god plays no part in and has no bearing on my life. It's an irrelevant factor to me. Atheism and the lack of a god, for me, is not a belief - it's not a case of me not believing a god exists, it's simply how it is - there is no god.
Agreed, it's not your case to prove. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof; the burden is on the claimant.
But saying an hypothesis is not proven, and it's not your job to prove it, doesn't demonstrate it's not possible. It's a big universe. So big, it's extremely likely that a lot of things we can't even imagine are out there.
Where facts are in short supply, I like to keep an open mind.
I do agree, it's not impossible that a (bearded or otherwise) god, creator of everything, exists. In the same way, it's not impossible that an invisible moon made of cheese in orbit round the Earth exists either. Or that the easter bunny exists. Or that a million other creations of one's imagination exist. However, it's logical and reasonable that these things don't exist due to evidence to the contrary.
Surely if enough claims by religion (earth being 6000 years old etc.) have been disproved, you have to question the validity of these religions as a whole. Faith is neither a valid excuse, argument or defence.
Since when did the Bible directly say the Earth was 6000 years old... Science still hasn't disproven anything. Science must not delve into religion, because otherwise, they would look like fools (Einstein said Science without Religion is lame, but in contrary, science helps us understand, not comprehend))
It's good to show your strong points, but sometimes it's also good to show your weaknesses, or dark sides as you call it. If more people did that, I'm sure the world would be a better place.
From my point of view people who follow orders are not evil. But you can't use "I was just following orders" as an excuse over and over. What I mean is blindly following orders is bad, like if I was ordered to kill 10 innoncent people for example, then I wouldn't do it.
Everyone has good and bad sides. Someone with power has sometimes to be evil to archive something good in the longtime run.
I'm a Christian myself, but I don't see God as an old man with a big beard. I respect all kinds of religions, even satanism. Because no religion has been proved correct! I believe for our creator, nothing is impossible. So lifting a huge stone is a piece of cake for him.
I do believe in good and evil. I'd say a person is evil when he/she enjoys killing people/animals, destroying on purpose, enjoying seeing people/animals suffer (poisoning), slavery, forcing little children to work etc.
I agree with a lot of your points except the too much/ too little line of thinking. I still believe that restricts everything too much and, to me, that life is much more of a gray smudge than a gradual line.
Oh and for future reference the psychological studies you were explaining were 'The stanford prison experiment' by a Psychologist named Zimbardo and the electric shock experiment was orginally carried out by Stanley Milgram. =]
I fully believe in the shades of gray concept, and the system I was explaining works well with it, there are the two extremes and life should exist in the gray balance area between them, too much of either will be out of balance.
AH! Wicca is really interesting, in that it seems very flexible but it does also smack of new age hippy-ism (not a word I know) It'd be cool if you'd consider explaining a bit more about what it actually is (not it's roots but what it is in practice)
The stone logic is a VERY puerile thing. But it simply states that logically there must be a limit to God's power, no matter how awesome. That is all. I think we basically agree about evil - "it's just a word" is spot on, and I agree that introspection helps us avoid some of our nastier traits. I should crystal, I'm agnostic leaning toward Atheism (I can't disprove God and think it's likely he doesn't exist) What's an HPS when it's at home?

People who commit crimes in some cases are everyday people and, in other cases they aren't.
Such examples are: serial killers
Serial killers have absolutely no patterns for their killings but, they do usually have a theme of some sort or, another.
Mass Murderers not only have a pattern but, vary as some are spur of the moment and, fixate on those that did them wrong;
Where as others actually premeditate what they are gonna do for the purposes solely of body count.

I don't think the whole stonething is pointless.
If god is omnipotent - when god does not act in Time/Space why isn't he just taking form in space and time and just picking up that stone?
(does that mean that he is subordinated by the laws of physics?
and - if he is outside of time and space, how can he act on earth (which is floating around in time and space)?

Specific claims of earthly religions have been disproved by science (like "the Earth is 6000 years old").
But science has boundaries. Divinity is well beyond its ability to test. There is no evidence to contradict the idea - none at all.
Science doesn't permit dismissing an unproved possibility. Only faith can do that.
