    Fundamentalist Christianity is fear-based?

    I'm not atheist or Christian. I just am. There's no actual God anywhere, but there is godliness. So if God is anything, it's a quality. I don't need to put an angel on top of the ocean to see how beautiful it is. In fact what's truly beautiful is what's doing the seeing. If I have to really...

    Fundamentalist Christianity is fear-based?

    Well my experience is that I'm always been here and now and that's not a specific location in time. I just am. Where is here? How long is now? How many nows are there? All I know is that I'm simply here. Everything else is a mystery. Life is now. Not tomorrow, not after death, but now. There's...

    Believing in yourself means having the courage to stand on your own two feet

    People conflate narcissim with loving/believing in oneself all too much. So we end up with a bunch of 'humble bragging' narcissists going around acting all sanctimonious. It's like an indirect narcissm, I find it quite funny. And I see this among Christians a lot with the 'holier than thou'...

    Believing in yourself means having the courage to stand on your own two feet

    You only think I'm arrogant because you perceive yourself to be less and you think that in some way makes you more sanctimonious or morally superior than me. Bragging about how much more humble you are is arrogance. So if anything, you are projecting your own arrogance onto me. It wasn't me who...

    Believing in yourself means having the courage to stand on your own two feet

    And you believe in God because you believe in yourself. Is it not you who holds that belief? Can you believe in God without there being a self which believes? Believing in yourself and believing in God are not two different things. Think about that for a second

    Believing in yourself means having the courage to stand on your own two feet

    Well me as the person of flesh is not God. God is myself, my awareness, my being...clothed in that flesh. Some people are God conscious and some are God unconscious. I think the moment one takes God to be something outside of themselves, that in itself is the very separation from God

    Fundamentalist Christianity is fear-based?

    Ok so you agree that responsibility marks someone as mature. So then taking responsibility instead of shifting blame on some God or devil is being mature. To me the devil is not believing in oneself. And God is believing in yourself. The words God and devil are just metaphors, they are not some...

    I believe in God because I believe in myself.

    Fundamentalist Christianity is fear-based?

    Humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less. Pride is good, you should be proud and not walk around with your head down all day long. Screw all the naysayers who want to keep you under their heel for someone else is also keeping them under their heel. Society and...

    Believing in yourself means having the courage to stand on your own two feet

    As you can see, I clearly posted in the non Christian section. And no, there's nothing arrogant about standing on your own two feet and being an adult. You are parroting what society and religion says to keep those such as yourself under control. The world is upside down and condemns anyone who...

    Fundamentalist Christianity is fear-based?

    So the Bible clearly proposes to remain a child and never grow up. Neither God or the devil is my authority, I am my own authority because I am. The fact that I am is all the evidence I need that I am. Even when you give up your authority, it's still YOU whose doing it! It is you who chooses to...

    Believing in yourself means having the courage to stand on your own two feet

    The bible is not my authority, I am my own authority. Even if the Bible is your authority, it is because you of you.

    Believing in yourself means having the courage to stand on your own two feet

    Everytime I hear that it is satanic to believe in yourself, I think just how infantile that line of thought is. God is within, nowhere else outside or in some book, thought, or belief system. It's widely believed that taking oneself to be their own God is satanic and blasphemy. However, I say...

    Fundamentalist Christianity is fear-based?

    The absence of believing anything cannot and will never be a belief in and of itself. Yes, it's about being a rebel against all belief systems, dogmas, creeds. It's having the courage to stand on your own two feet and being your own authority. No God can judge me for I am my own God. My body...

    Fundamentalist Christianity is fear-based?

    Because standing on one's two feet is totally not adult-like. It is infantile to condemn believing in oneself when yourSELF is all you got and you take yourSELF everywhere with you. "It's satanic to believe in yourself". These are the same people too afraid to be their own authority so they have...

    Fundamentalist Christianity is fear-based?

    I respect Jesus and his teachings have value. I think because of how wise he was, people wanted to aggrandize him to the point of saying he could cure the blind and walk on water and that's coming from those who lived 2000 years ago without electricity. I don't get why people have to take up...

    Fundamentalist Christianity is fear-based?

    You can't be free as long as you cling onto something.

    Fundamentalist Christianity is fear-based?

    I just can't lol. You know you've lost it when you don't even deny it. Folks, how is living a lifetime in fear a virtue?

    Fundamentalist Christianity is fear-based?

    Progressive Christianity is true Christianity because it's based on love, not fear. Only atheist here is you. If you truly believed in God, you wouldn't be spewing all your fear based nonsense. Who listens to what you say? People here don't even get on the same page with you because of your...

    Fundamentalist Christianity is fear-based?

    More fear mongering and projection. "You're teaching the devil's doctrine! Fear the wraith of God!" Give me a break. You really need to come face to face with a fundamentalist Muslim or Catholic to get a taste of your own bigotry and narcissism.
