In response to my Facebook note, Adho Mukha Svanasana, a Christian friend provided a link to Random Thoughts of a Confused Xtian in which Confused Christian posted the following: Could never quite figure out how maneuvering your body into the crouching cricket position brings you any closer to God. I’d rather pray and not worry about physically [...] Sorry if the following is a bit lacking in cohesion. I’m just working with some rough ideas which may or may not eventually be polished. Power, control and wealth or peace, enlightenment and salvation? Which is the primary motivation for religion? I often view organized religion as the former with a little of the latter on [...] Technorati Tags: beliefs,benefits of a holy life,enlightenment,faith,ideas Here’s a search term that led some unsuspecting soul to this blog: benefits of living a holy life. I suspect this individual was seeking spiritual guidance and apparently didn’t find it here. Maybe that’s just as well because I don’t want all the crap the comes with being a spiritual [...] Are Atheists and Agnostics going to Hell? The creator of this FaceBook poll makes the assumption that Hell does exist in some other plane of existence other than the one in which we physically inhabit. That may or not be the case. If your faith tells you that it exists then, for you, it exists. If [...] Another Facebook poll — Should Religion Be Made Illegal? It seems as though someone on Facebook has their knickers in a knot about religion, particularly Christianity. Trust me, it isn’t me coming up with these polls just so I’ll have something to rant about on my blog. But since the question was raised, I’ll throw in [...] Do you think God should be back in America? This was a Facebook poll with only a yes or no response. Neither choice seemed to apply so I’m responding to it here. I have to answer it with another question — “Did God leave America in the first place?” If God is omnipresent, how [...] Here’s a bit of poetry I wrote many years ago. Life as Lunch I am sandwich. I am salami as you are fruit pie. Do you believe atheists are immoral? No. Whether or not one believes in God has nothing do do with one’s moral character. Many non-believers may actually have higher moral standards than many believers. Consider all the wars, atrocities, terrorist acts, genocide, and persecution that have been carried out in the name of God (or Jesus). There [...] Warning! Reading this post may piss you off. You may feel it’s blasphemous or heretical. You may be certain that I’m bound for eternal damnation. I make no apologies, so either get over it or let it fester and eat away at your soul. Why is Christianity so exclusive? It’s do it our way or burn [...] We progress culturally and socially if each succeeding generation is more enlightened than the generation that preceded them. I find it troubling that I haven’t seen that happening in my lifetime. There are certain elements of our society and many individuals who have shown they are more enlightened than those who preceded them but, overall, [...] |
