PERCEPTION AND REALITY

My adopted sister (She set it all up with my father I guess, and never got around to sending her nephews anything for Christmas mind you) Ariala wrote post today that got me thinking about how we perceive what we consider reality. The concept of God is a big part of this. God is very different for... Sign in to see full entry.

RESPECT VS OBEDIENCE

Our society today really seems to have a very hard time with these two concepts. They get them very confused. I just posted the definitions at my 'Do You Know What These Words Mean' blog. The idea of respect is not the same thing as obedience. Respect is when you admire a person or look up to some... Sign in to see full entry.

THE SEARCH FOR A SOURCE OF FOOD

Ody tried to give an example in a comment to me about how he saw the 'sharing' of his religious beliefs. His set up was this. A bunch of people are stranded and starving. They all decided to split up and see if they can find food. One of them, Ody, finds a source of food. He returns and offers the... Sign in to see full entry.

THE NEEDS OF THOSE WHO PUSH RELIGION

One thing that is very obvious to me is what the true needs of those who push their religious ideas on others really is. By this I mean push, not share. Sharing is when you sit down and openly talk about your beliefs and are willing to listen to other people's beliefs. Pushing is when you stand up... Sign in to see full entry.

CAN YOU HONESTLY SAY YOU ARE NOT BEING TOLD WHAT TO THINK?

CAN YOU HONESTLY SAY YOU ARE NOT BEING TOLD WHAT TO THINK? Time and time again I am told by people that they do not just repeat what hey are told or that they have learned certain facts on their own and such. What strikes me as odd about this is that those people are almost always the ones who are... Sign in to see full entry.

GOD WAS WITH HIM. I DON'T THINK SO

I am watching a show called Impact. It is about accidents and how people recover from some pretty serious damage. There was just a segment about a surfer who was attacked by a great white shark. He got lucky and the shark only ripped up his arm. He got back to shore and his friends made sure he held... Sign in to see full entry.

DO YOU DEFEND WHAT YOU CLAIM ARE YOUR VALUES?

A big issue I will always have with organized religion is that it often creates a very destructive idea that one needs to defend the actions of others of their faith. If someone points out that members of a faith is doing something questionable or just straight out wrong, such a thing often become a... Sign in to see full entry.

BREAKING THROUGH THE PROPAGANDA, MISINFORMATION AND LIES

Once more it seems I need to address a very disturbing trend that is ever present in the Christian community. Thanks to the tool of the internet, the problem seems to only spread quicker. Here on Blogit there is a group of Christians who seem to be very much into spreading the misinformation and... Sign in to see full entry.

MY GOD CAN BEAT-UP YOUR GOD

In a recent post here about Buddhism a debate started up over the morality of missionaries, their purpose and the methods used to achieve that purpose. All in all missionaries live by the logic of 'My God can beat up your god'. Without absolute proof they go and attempt to destroy a people's faith... Sign in to see full entry.

SHOULD I CALL MYSELF REVEREND?

This has been an issue with some here. They feel that I am doing something wrong by using the title reverend, even though I am an ordained minister. They dislike the way in which I became ordained. Several of them went through other paths to earn their ordination. So what makes one worthy of such a... Sign in to see full entry.
