Religion

[Old Man Jingles]

...

... america has a major spiritual deficit. cornel west also says its spiritually malnourished. i agree and i think my country is the same.

I definitely think the US and Canada are in a Spiritual demise and it's not necessary if people would just realize that Spiritual and Religions have almost nothing in common.

 

[BrownFlush]

in religion most people essentially do nothing aside from hoping to be saved.

its alot like politics where people do nothing and hope the politician helps them.

or capitalism where people lets the capitalist run their lives at work.

we know the outcomes for the last 2, and its likely that god doesnt exist or doesnt care about you.

That is quite a judgmental statement ... I can imagine many people think you live a pitiful existence.

What others think is not relevant or important ... unless they have a gun and use force.

What judgement do you reach from his quote?

 

[BrownFlush]

reading, listening, going to church...its all the same

but we have different understandings of the same thing.

This means nothing and has zero application to the quote.

Agree with part A. Part B.. Spirit AND Truth equals proper worship. Gotta have the right attitude plus the right information offered or its vain.

I try not to judge ... it's one of my highest goals in life.

I don't judge Ricky Bob in anyway except that I find his posts to be basically nonsense and 'not his thoughts'.
He is always presenting someone else's thoughts and that just doesn't strike home with me so I keep him on ignore but still read some of his posts when I am feeling calm and not hurried.
I do put Noam Chomsky up on a pedestal and read some of his stuff.
I 'worked with him' back in 1974 - 75 on some AI stuff ... mainly on the concept of 'I/Thou' recognition being the point at which an entity, whether organic or otherwise, becomes sentient - aware of itself and an understanding that 'I' am separate from the world in which 'I' exist.

Hey.. I think we sling the judge word around so much we are afraid to state obvious conclusions about some one or something.

Interesting.
I don't remember much about him but he was anti Nam and a true left-winger.

Sorry but I do not accept the association of your statement being politically unacceptable.
You were imposing your beliefs on another person and judging them based on your beliefs without understanding their belief system.

When is your next appointment?

Nope.
I came to a conclusion about someone based on the info and belief system they gave me.

Just spoke to an old man Iraqi Chaldean immigrant. He explained the Middle East and the religious problems quite well.He told me that most of the Muslim people who are not following the tenets of Islam are good where as the religion is bad. Contrary the Christian religion is good but its people are bad because they don't follow Jesus's truth.

The Abrahamic religions are nothing but male chauvinistic murder cults made up by sand dwelling goat herders of the desserts of the so called middle east.

 

[BrownFlush]

No way man. But Skippy hasn't even went to the store.
