There Is No Devil.

[CrackerJax]

Uhhh, dreams aren't real.

There, one problem solved for you!

 

[Brevity, The Soul Of Wit!]

Folks... there is no devil outside of yourself. When Jesus spoke of evil, he was referring to the ego that is inside each and every one of us. The ego is responsible for the pain and suffering in this world because it is the outright denial of God (who has no opposite).

Nooo.. Your ego is the reason you walk talk and have organized thought.

Uhhh, dreams are real.

If you believe in Atom Bombs,

then radioactive Carbon half lives are easier to accept as real things too.

Classic. This thread is illustrates the need for that vintage "outsider" Uncle. Always and never are the realm of the closed-minded. That is all.



edit: "Hi, I like to say something vague in every thread." Lol.

Who am I?

 

[Woodstock.Hippie]

The steady state radioactivity concentration of exchangeable carbon-14 being about 14 disintegrations per minute (dpm) per gram is indeed quite vague.

Especially if you are Aware of the number seven.

1243

Dreams are perceptions, but are not real. It's a hard drive defragmenter, nothing more.

 

[Woodstock.Hippie]

Dream = Perception = Brain Activity = EEG recording = Reality

Thought became thing.

You would be scared if you were aware of spooky mind controls.

 

[CrackerJax]

Uhh, no.....

 

[anhedonia]

How about dreaming about doing something that you were never able to do then the next day your able to do it based on what you experienced in the dream..for instance playing a musical instrument or for sports.
Jazz legend Rahsaan roland kirk was inspired to play multiple instruments to create a unique sound from dreams.

Sigh. This whole "thought becomes things" thing you keep spouting is a pointless pile of BS.

You can have a thought and then apply it to actions to create something, but you will not merely will something into existence.

Science is for people who take action to understand the workings of the universe.

Philosophy is for people too pretentious to think scientifically.

And religion is for people who want other people to think for them.

Ignore is a wonderful feature.

We are Good friends with Pretentious Religious Philosophy Scientists that appear to be Aware and perhaps understand what it Attracts when people who take action to understand the workings of the Multiverse and let people dream.think for themselves.

We are glad there is no devils because Our Father went into the hospital today, twelve days before Christmas.

We are happy he now has a Dilaudid pump in his hand.

Thank Goodness.

Ignoring can be Mean, unless you are ignoring a Meanie.

Reality is not for the timid.

 

[PadawanBater]

Here's a better question... Why do these people with imaginary friends think that belief is the default position...?

Isn't that some bullshit...

Shouldn't it be crystal clear logic for someone to see "I don't believe in fairies, just like I don't believe in God" ---> pretty damn simple to me...

 

[CrackerJax]

It's perspective Paddy.

Brain wise, someone who is complex has no difficulty looking back at simplicity.

But if the scenario is reversed, a simple person looking at the complex (science) things can get quite tricky.

Religion is the default cop out.

 

[Woodstock.Hippie]

"Why do these people with imaginary friends think that belief is the default position...?"

To believe is to be Human

no belief, no Human.

Humanities Believe,

if only and solely for the pure and singular reason not to.

You (by default) must possess Belief to choose not to.

For example:

""I don't believe in fairies, just like I don't believe in God""

You must believe in Fairies enough to Choose not to believe in Fairies

Fairies, like many things, is a Spectrum of Belief,

not a 0 Or a 1

We choose to Believe in Fairies, because Few are friendly.

Please define the God and Fairies you do not believe in, Padawan.

Be forewarned my friend,

Phat Rabbits are Infinitely Everywhere.

Fairies, harpies, gorgons, and santa claus certainly do not exist in the same sense that you and I exist. They do not exist in this Universe outside of our ideas of them.

First post and an intelligent mind can grasp it. +rep

Hippie, real in your head and real in reality are two completely different kinds of "real". There is a distinction you should recognize.

 

[CrackerJax]

I want some popcorn!!

 

[Woodstock.Hippie]

Please define the distinction, my padawan.
