Hevusa, we get it already! I like you man, but your nihilist routine is getting old and tattered and needlessly antagonistic to a lot of people who otherwise also probably like you. Don't you see that your negatively is destructive and self-defeating? You are proving nothing other than how insecure, naive and angry you are when it comes to spiritual matters. You need to shift your stance and be a bit less aggressive about it, we're all friends here remember? I don't recall anyone bitterly attacking you for your perspectives, why do you then lash out at people unprovoked?
c)ahem, I noticed you did not address my most potent point:
Christians used to be rather intelligent people on the whole, but an entire right shifting political machine has pushed towards willful ignorance because a stupid population is a controlled population, it is to the shitstem's advantage.. (hence war, prisons, greedy corporations and taxes)
genius!
absolutely correct, but Rob, we humans have imbeded in our psychology the tendency to avoid the present moment at all costs, because we cannot control any aspect of the present moment, it is utter chaos. Our minds can only control our perceptions of the future, and our memories of the past, and in these realms of fantasy and memory the mind is in absolute and total control, it is its own God(s) and so this is where the mind prefers to be. Spirituality and its growth and ascetic exercise is ENTIRELY designed to enhance a person's consciousness of the present moment, for in the present moment is the only place where we can actually experience God. God does not exist in our memories, and He does not exist in our fantasies or anxieties of the future, in those places like everything else God(s) remains imaginary, but in the present moment of life, which we dreadfully avoid, there only is God(s).
