    If atheists get accused of taking verses out of context, how do we know fundamentalists making those accusations aren’t doing the same as well?

    I know that I am. Never claimed to know everything.

    The past and future do not exist, the eternal now is all there is.

    No, Einstein also said time is an illusion. Also all appearances come and go within something. What part of your experience never changes?

    The past and future do not exist, the eternal now is all there is.

    The matrix is just a good metaphor for how people become slaves of society. Whether you are in a material world or on some spiritual place, will it still not be “here”? Whether you are in Maine or Hawaii, your consciousness is always just “here”. Everything else is just an appearance we get...

    Sometimes I read the Bible, sometimes the Bible reads me

    Scriptural context is different for everyone.

    If atheists get accused of taking verses out of context, how do we know fundamentalists making those accusations aren’t doing the same as well?

    One scripture, 200 interpretations.

    What do you consider the word of God?

    The past and future do not exist, the eternal now is all there is.

    You can’t be in two places at the same time because places do not exist. They are concepts. The only place is “here”. It’s a placeless, place. Have you ever been anywhere else but “here”?

    Anyone can claim they have the Holy Spirit in them. Many Christians disagree on the “fundamentals”, actually. If you put a Catholic and Protestant in a room, they will have their own ideas of what is fundamental.

    The “word of god” differs from person to person. I don’t oppose it, I simply point out the house of cards it’s based upon. Understanding of God’s ways also differs from person to person.

    The past and future do not exist, the eternal now is all there is.

    The now is already eternal. Whether I’m on earth or in some heaven or hell, it still right “now”. Birth & death are illusions.

    The past and future do not exist, the eternal now is all there is.

    Time is a concept that was taught to you. Even Einstein has said time is an illusion. Time belongs to the world of ego that thrives on comparison, measurement. Psychological suffering also cannot exist without time. It needs time.

    The past and future do not exist, the eternal now is all there is.

    “Hope” is a funny thing. Hope too much, and you could be using it as an escape to your current situation. Not hope for anything, and you’re considered to be a hopeless, depressed, person. All your power lies in the now. Sitting around hoping this, hoping that is more often than not an excuse...

    The past and future do not exist, the eternal now is all there is.

    The past and future and human constructs, products of how the mind filters the eternal now. It is impossible to go into the past and the future.

    The theologian has to be guided by the Holy Spirit. That’s how we know that whatever that theologian says, is the word of God.

    If atheists get accused of taking verses out of context, how do we know fundamentalists making those accusations aren’t doing the same as well?

    Knowing “who” holds the future is just a way to pussyfoot about knowing what the future holds. It’s like saying, “I didn’t make these things up, the Bible says it.” Yeah but you support the Bible, only trying to shift blame. Christians hide behind their Bible or some authority as a means of...

    If atheists get accused of taking verses out of context, how do we know fundamentalists making those accusations aren’t doing the same as well?

    Do you not live in the now? Do you not think about the past in the now? Is the now not where everything happens? And I don’t reject what I don’t know, that is your own assumption. You are projecting assuming onto me. I simply said “God” as a being is an unfalsifiable claim.

    Closer to what? I basically already summed it all up

    You shouldn’t feel sorry for me, you should feel sorry for yourself. Christians such as yourself have an issue with smugness because they can’t stand being seen as a joke. It’s a bit of a taste of their own medicine-how they’re smug towards everyone else who isn’t Christian. There is no god to...

    The tooth fairy also revealed itself to me. Therefore, the tooth fairy exists. You don’t live in the now? What time is it right -now-?
