they may have changed their scripture since this was in it i nthe 80s
first i was into politics
I might become morman
Every white person in here be like time to be morman
then everyone started using religious justification for political views
so i got into religion
@Joshua Graham I live in a mormon city, and its glorious
the mormons raise their children with an iron fist
Your curiosity for the faith is because it's used in the political world?
that was initially
now i just like talking about religion
What stances (if you would like to share) do you have on religion as of currently.
I am somewhere between agnostic and deist
i cant really decide between the 2
Do you believe the notion of an afterlife is a means to cope with death?
I think people use the notion of an afterlife as a means to cope with death
but I dont think it is necessary to cope with death
Death comes for us all, there is no avoiding it
yep
Do you believe that there is a possibility that you will be held accountable for your actions? (good or bad)
but it is also possible that i wont be held accountable
Jezebel would be a great example of what you are referencing @VirtualizingReality
king David
Jezebel was a false prophet right?
Jezebel was a prostitute that was used by god
oh
being worried about being accountable for what has occurred in your life is a way to feel sorry for how bad you are because others told you, you are a sinner
don't allow people to tell you, you are a sinner because of their nonsense beliefs
they cannot see the things that will hurt them
while they are distracted with nonsense you will have the clarity of mind to pursue reality
i do not particularly care what other people think of me
if they think i am a sinner, thats their problem
anyone trying to say you are a sinner or not a christian, they are not people with experience and advice worth following
here is a bible verse that references what I am saying
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.****
What about the notions of God and religion gear you towards finding the truth thereof?
What are the notions you have towards religion and God that incentivices you to seek it out.
lets put it this way, when you have your beliefs, it won't matter how others classify you. Call me a racist all you want, don't care, doesn't make you correct. Just makes you an asshole
i think everyone should want to know the truth
and seek it out
