| skateon420 ::: Favorites 2007-11-18 21:16:09 the deity is not incompetent. the people are incompetent for not listening to the deity because people have FREE WILL. they will not listen to their fathers that came before them, which is a problem! __________________________________________________ | |
| teewillis1981 ::: Favorites 2007-09-01 23:35:04 Exactly. Although I think that the word enlightenment is thrown around a bit too much, it starts to mystify things. But I understand what you are saying. __________________________________________________ | |
| teewillis1981 ::: Favorites 2007-09-01 23:33:21 Nicely said. I do agree. I think we are trapped in perception most times. How do you convince someone that what they believe is based upon nothing concrete? You can't. Everything of value is self-realized. But it also doesn't hurt to point it out. =o) __________________________________________________ | |
| thepathlesspath ::: Favorites 2007-07-31 00:00:36 God is very clear everywhere. It's the written word which serves as both the hindrance and the welcoming mat into enlightenment and God. __________________________________________________ | |
| gnatural ::: Favorites 2007-07-30 18:38:24 the problem is that you cannot find God, but that you wont. God has made himself very clear in the scriptures. __________________________________________________ | |

| potvelayo ::: Favorites 2007-02-10 04:27:05 i recommend you read Joseph Campbell..the power of myth or his other works....i guess ull be able to see religion in whatever format differently...all religions are valid..if seen or read from a mythic or symbolic perspective...never to be taken literally. __________________________________________________ | |
| BlondieCobain ::: Favorites 2007-01-31 23:39:38 Quite a pleasure to read B's thoughts and hear Maynard's voice __________________________________________________ | |
| codylg ::: Favorites 2007-01-27 07:16:38 also, it takes as much faith to not beleive in god as it does to beleive in god, not necessarilly the christian god, just god in general __________________________________________________ | |
| codylg ::: Favorites 2007-01-27 07:15:59 ok, now im a huge ishmael and my ishmael fan, i am best described as an anarchist i guess, but i must disagree with the passage, from a christian standpoint (though im not a christian) jesus could have very well unequivocally answered the questions but chose not to, because in their religion, one must have faith in god. faith is the extra step it takes for one to be accepted into heaven (not in my opinion but the christian view) __________________________________________________ | |
| keithguh ::: Favorites 2007-01-14 12:48:44 It is a very interesting excerpt, but I don't think that telling the devoutly religious how wrong their religion is, is going to help things. And unless they are masochistic, I highly doubt they would pick up the book to read its message. As my Grandpa always said to me: A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still. I might be jumping to conclusions however, if so I apologize. :) __________________________________________________ | |
