    Christianity is fundamentally anti-critical thinking and the U.S. is not a Christian nation

    You're right they're not spiritually blind. They're spiritually narcissistic who think they know the absolute truth. Whatever Jesus said is just his own perspective. Truth is relative, there's no absolute truth. It varies from person to person, who am I to declare what the ultimate truth is...

    Christianity is fundamentally anti-critical thinking and the U.S. is not a Christian nation

    Well many people use Christinaity as the basis of their political ideology and decisions which defeats the whole purpose of the seperation of church and state. Many attempt to justify it by claiming the U.S. is a Christian nation and that they are some how under attack, a dying breed. This is...

    Christianity is fundamentally anti-critical thinking and the U.S. is not a Christian nation

    Some people will say I'm making a gross overgeneralization and come up with all sorts of tidbits and details as to why Christianity is complementary with science and critical thinking. However, most if not all of those reasons are superficial at the end of the day (if not straight up lies) and...

    Christianity boils down to believing in the end, there's no other way around it

    Consciousness is the source of everything. Without consciousness there is nothing. Pure consciousness is God. Nothing can be known without consciousness. It is consciousness that knows. There is only one awareness really. Our minds are different with different opinions and preferences, but we...

    Christianity boils down to believing in the end, there's no other way around it

    Awareness is not a biological function meaning that the brain does not create consciousness. The 'brain' is just a concept that appears within awareness. If you are in heaven, you have to be aware that you are in heaven for example. Neuroscientists still can't explain consciousness and are...

    Christianity boils down to believing in the end, there's no other way around it

    "There is no such thing as enlightenment. The appreciation of this fact is itself, enlightenment." -Nisargardatta Maharaj And you cannot pick up awareness because it's not an idea or belief to begin with. It is prior to all of those. None of your beliefs are as real as the awareness with which...

    Christianity boils down to believing in the end, there's no other way around it

    You mentioned the Holy Spirit which is a concept, it's something you learned about. So since you mentioned it, then obviously that means there is an awareness of it. What is aware of the concept of Holy Spirit? Do you not know about the Holy Spirit along with everything else because you're aware?

    Christianity boils down to believing in the end, there's no other way around it

    You're missing the point entirely as well. I am not talking about self awareness. I am talking about awareness only. Definition of awareness : the quality or state of being aware : recognition and understanding that something is happening or exists. This entire experience along with all of your...

    Christianity boils down to believing in the end, there's no other way around it

    You are missing the point. You say you are aware of Jesus being the messiah, and I am saying you are aware of Jesus being the messiah because you're aware, because awareness is present! You keep veering off to what you are aware OF and I'm saying whatever you are aware OF doesn't matter as much...

    Christianity boils down to believing in the end, there's no other way around it

    It's funny how you don't know what something so simple as awareness/consciousness is. Even to this day science can't figure out consciousness. I wonder why. Because consciousness, awareness, knowingness is God. How the hell do you know anything at all if not for awareness?

    Christianity boils down to believing in the end, there's no other way around it

    God is the source of everything and awareness is prior to everything. Both don't have any dimensions or form, therefore they are one and the same.

    Christianity boils down to believing in the end, there's no other way around it

    You wouldn't be able to have a single belief without awareness. You wouldn't be able to know your thoughts/emotions without awareness. You wouldn't even know you're here.

    Christianity boils down to believing in the end, there's no other way around it

    I am saying without awareness you can't know anything at all so awareness is therefore God. Very simple

    Christianity boils down to believing in the end, there's no other way around it

    The fact that you are aware is not a new age belief, that's just a copout to distract from what is being said. It's like saying 2+2=4 is a new age belief just because it's written in a New Age book. Really use some logic You wouldn't even be able to read the Bible without being aware...
