Misusing History - 'anonymous' Claim Time Stands Still, Yet History Proves Otherwise

Alien cult

Works for me most excellently. As I said, I live in a world that allows for paradox... this is to say a world in which both can be right. Priest thinks Jesus came before. Rabbi thinks only once at the end. God at the press conference fields the question "Is this your first trip here or your second?"

God says, "No comment."

Saw it on PBS the other day. Was much better when the rabbi told it, but it allows for all the answers to be correct.

Shalom,

Yep, I know. Still I believe in greater power than chicken wings. I won't go so far as to "sacrifice a baby to Raptor Jesus," but we all at the end of the day have to be content with how we rest our consciences. Some people like no God; that works for the "skeptic" in me. Me, I like having something to fall back on in order to trigger my own capacity to resign myself to that which I cannot control.

[ChristianlySkeptical]

I differ from both Scientologists and Fundamentalists in that I allow room in the world for both your way and mine.

[ChristianlySkeptical]

If it works, is it silly?

Does religious belief in human sacrifice take the place of secular law?

It's not a "religious defensive tactic," it is called multiculturalism and a belief that culture above near all, is a thing worthy of respect and preservation. Colonized cultures; rationalized cultures, not so much.

Your comment is at LEAST as old as the Spanish Inquisition. ;)

[ChristianlySkeptical]

Every question is not answered with "God didn't do it," in your worldview. I see mine as addative and full of possibility. You, funny enough, see mine the opposite and yours the same way. Mine allows for you to have yours and me mine. I like mine better.

You presume all cultures are similar in your question about people getting sick. Yes, there are spiritual sicknesses. 52 weeks of CBT wont do much for a Santerian, but killing a chicken might.

I'm a "cultural relativist" we can go all day

[ChristianlySkeptical]

Humans engage in suicide as an INDIVIDUAL. Churches and religions live as communities. Culture IS in part religion, "hon." Take the word of a trained multiculturalist that religion plays a HUGE part in culturally competent training in ANY field from management, to an immigrant changing a tire, to being a social worker.

Suicide is RARELY a group act. Jonestown had more homicides than suicides. Single gunshot wounds to the back of the head.

Cultures live and die with their descendants.

[ChristianlySkeptical]

Everyone is allowed to err in life. Such is the nature of religion and especially Christianity; to forgive our enemies AS WELL AS ourselves. Whether it come from "on High," or merely from within and in a "religious" context, what matter? Strength is strength, and the strength to take the "wrong" position on one thing, is the strength to take an appropriate decision (or maybe flawed, who can say) and to speak for one's beliefs.

Sounds to me like sour grapes at being outnumbered by theists tbh.

[ChristianlySkeptical]

I disagree. It is not a crutch, it is a certainty for those who believe and therefore a strength and the basis of resilience.

You wouldn't gainsay a clubhouse of Rationalists. Why is it you think a religious experience is any different. You have faith that God in whatever form does NOT exist. Others require nothing but faith to prove the "assumption."

Who are you to say they are wrong, besides a rationalist or an atheist?

[ChristianlySkeptical]

True, but go back far enough and you will find myth for its own sake embedded in today's religion.

[ChristianlySkeptical]

You COULD argue that IF I hadn't had direct experience with the descendants of cultures that kept their oral history largely intact into the present. I can go back 3000 years in Polynesia, and pre-Catholicism in the Iberian expansion; so no, that would be a bad idea.

I can demonstrate that man NEEDS faith, more readily than you can demonstrate he does not. If it were contrary to survival, we'd be dead by now don'tcha think?

Fellowship and community are requistes for the human condition.

[ChristianlySkeptical]

I disagree with you in your "crutch" interpretation. Churches served as a form of social control and still largely do. Without it you would lose a huge chunk of what holds human beings together and has ("suspicion" I suppose you'd call it) for millenia. You don't just snap your fingers and pray for Rationalism, as early astronomers and mathemeticians discovered.

Athiests tend to miss the "without religion we wouldn't be here" part of history.

Read "A Canticle for Leibowitz" is my advice.

[ChristianlySkeptical]

"... which is more tha I can say for God."

Funny, to be God he/she would have to be "more than" human, don't you think.

As athiests have no evidence to prove the negative, and Christians wait patiently and pray for the affirmative, what specifically is the issue you have with "irrational" faith?

I'd find believing in a Christian God far more redeeming than LRH though, so why would you prefer the Scientological, besides the mere existence point?

[ChristianlySkeptical]

Believing in something understandable to one's own worldview is one thing. Attempting to persuade others through your lack of faith and insistence on proving the affirmative, along with your left-handed LRH plug, rather leave me cold.

Just my 2 cents,

Hi, can I offer a couple of suggestions? Next time, use the reply function in Youtube. Currently, I do not know what video you are referring to. Also, consider giving people a bit more time to read the text. As it stands now, you are filming your own comments (which I can't read) to support the claim others are being propogandistic. in all honesty, that doesn't come across as being very coherent.

I hope you'll be fine. Take care, a WWP user.

[ChristianlySkeptical]

Maybe you should try the pause button? Resolution issues have been bettered in later videos.

[mythraoflight]

christianlyskeptical is a wolf in sheep's clothing. I mean a $cientologist posing as a christian. christianly$keptical can not be a christian since scientologists believe the story of Christ is an alien implant. a part of R6. as Hubbard said in his own words "there was no Christ!"

[ChristianlySkeptical]

You are an absolute idiot to call me a COS member. You don't realize it, which makes you even less believable.

What Hubbard said, and who I am, have zero to do with one another.

I am not a Scientologist, but muthraoflight sure seems to think lke one. User blocked from futher posts.

[ChristianlySkeptical]

I care; other people care.

If you didn't care, you wouldn't be here. Blocked for the idiot you as a WWP user misrepresent.ing for your own ends.

I have a life. It involves many things. You like to pretend its ust this for your own reasos. It's not. Too bad you and yours don't get it.

Why don't ya'll all call the popo again and play your little jokes. Maybe see if it works twice?

Below user blocked. WWP users get that automatically.

You're doing it wrong

[Ogsonofgroo]

Liek, who the fuck cares?

If its an circle-jerk thingy yer after then yer in the very wrong place, or nobody really gives a shite about what you think maybe?

Get over it, get some help, turn off the PC, go out in the sun and have a good meal and get on with your life. Baaawwing does not make the heart grow fodder.

Gee 30 views to get my first 1 star rating. 'anonymous' must not be as on the ball with their flagging campaigns and downrating digg campaigns anymore.

Yes the "statistics" on what's popular can be altered sufficiently to make you think someone is wildly popular or not. This is the Internet, what did we expect for PROFIT?

Ratings disabled at 1 for herstory's sake. I can keep reducing the ways to communicate at your behest 'anonymous.'
