Religion

[floridays]

I use Brown Cafe to channel all my harmful thoughts and ego into a netherworld.

I say exactly what I mean, which comes from my thought, the brain is involved, I strive not to be controlled, or influenced until it is filtered through my brain

Take care or yourself my friend,

You miss one thing my brother, my friend.
The meme is actually correct, it's target is RELIGION, I need a Saviour, not a Religion.

Go where you choose, I'm all for screwing religion myself.

“Peter, thou art rock, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the Gates of Hell will not prevail against it.”

Sounds to me like Jesus established His Church, and since the purpose of a Church is to establish a Religion (Truth) in order to spread the Good Word, then both become necessary. In order to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, someone or something has to preserve that knowledge in order to enlighten you, that you might accept and be saved.

After all, Jesus picked fallible humans (His apostles) as the cornerstone to His foundation. Rejecting them, as well as their successors, is rejecting what Jesus established.

“Peter, thou art rock, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the Gates of Hell will not prevail against it.”

The religion of peace.

 

[BrownFlush]

That belief I am very comfortable with.
Taking that belief forward means that GOD is not concerned with nor takes action on any human activity, wrong or good.
GOD HAS MOVED ON!
It does no good to pray to GOD as he is not listening or concerned.

Wrong.
"Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think" -- Ephesians 3: 20

"Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me." -- John 14: 6
THE Way , The Truth, THE Life ...
not a way, a truth, a life but,
the ONLY way, the ONLY truth, the ONLY life.
No Jesus, You will never see God.

Yeah...thats gonna upset the bumper sticker snowflakes.

It's Very reasonable to think that someone desingned this world and our life here , right?

Depends on how one defines 'desingned'.
The way I define design in this context is ...
"to set in place matter and energy and 'natural' laws that resulted in the world and universe we observe."

I actually seen that but I didn't think any one would pick that up...

 

[Old Man Jingles]

It's VERY reasonable to not to want to died,,right?

If one is in good health both physically and mentally.
There is a considerable portion of the population that struggles with 'good health both physically and mentally'.

I try and live my life in coordination with my Higher Power’s guidance.
I feel better about myself if I do that.
When I stray, I feel insecure and fearful ... wondering if life is worth it.

Can you tell me how you know when your life is in coordination with your Higher Power?

You made a few assumptions there that ambiguous in nature and questionable in intent.

Lol
Your Jew fanfiction is hysterical.

Can you tell me how you know when your life is in coordination with your Higher Power?

I am calm and free with no anger, accepting life on life's terms and I enjoy life in a spiritual way ...
I accept what has happened in the past with no resentment and do not replay perceived injustices against me ...
I look to the future with no fear and I have faith that I, with the help of my Higher Power, can deal with whatever the future brings.

​

So when you do this, you are saying that you know then you are living your life in accordance with your Higher Power . This really sounds like a pep talk of self affirmation from a shrink.
How do you know this is in accordance with your Higher Power? How and when did your Higher Power reveal to you that this is coordinating with his desire? How does your Higher Power help you? Serious questions.

So when you do this, you are saying that you know then you are living your life in accordance with your Higher Power .
1) How do you know this is in accordance with your Higher Power?
2) How and when did your Higher Power reveal to you that this is coordinating with his desire?
3) How does your Higher Power help you?

Don't try to nit-pick and rationalize into a what-if scientific equation.
This is a faith based process just like any religion except it is not a religious experience.
People really screw themselves up when they start trying to understand, and especially prove, their religious beliefs by scientific methodologies.

1) Because ...
I am calm and free with no anger, accepting life on life's terms and I enjoy life in a spiritual way ...
I accept what has happened in the past with no resentment and do not replay perceived injustices against me ...
I look to the future with no fear and I have faith that I, with the help of my Higher Power, can deal with whatever the future brings.
2) Over a period of time and lots of meditation/prayer and because 1) took place.
3) Calming me down and revealing that my wants are based on my ego ... as I meditate and pray, I am able to look outside of my self-controlled desires to gain the wisdom to make the right choices.

Got good news for you Old man, exactly what you posted is why Jesus surrendered his life, not concerned who or whom I may piss off, it's the if only one game here.
Will you be the only one?

You anchor on that , you'll fade away

Hmmmmm?

Got good news for you Old man, exactly what you posted is why Jesus surrendered his life, ...

Yes, yes it is ... until you get two people together ...

... not concerned who or whom I may piss off, ...

Then why mention it?

... it's the if only one game here.

referring to one's lifetime?

Will you be the only one?

Oh, no ... I'll be one of many!

You anchor on that , you'll fade away

We covered a bit here and I'm clueless what " " is referring to.

I do love you, i'm drinking beer, most likely if I offered it I could defend it, I don't think it is earth shattering or life changing so I'll pass.
Would you like me to revisit it tomorrow?

I've got the response you actually were looking for, an understandable response.
you don't actually want it, but I'd be glad to interpret.

Outlawed in Georgia and hard to find.
Medicinal usage natural plants don't have the following like weed or opiates.
I have used it before.

I know this was a while back, but this is incorrect. Kratom is legal in the state of Georgia, and easy to find. It's sold in most convenience stores, and was legalized under the kratom consumer act advocated by Vernon Jones in the state Senate. Figured I would share if you were interested.

Live in Columbus Georgia myself and take it a few days a week. Seriously makes a difference when I am unloading. Much smoother energy boost, better focus, and relief of back pain. Don't feel cracked out on it like 150mg doses of caffeine.
