This is my last post on this board on the subject, I've made my case.  I know it, my Father knows it, and every one who has read my posts knows it, on one level or another.



Blessings,

you've made the case that you're a delusional zealot.

Dear TechStuf,

I used to believe very similar to you. But a portal opened, and I fell out.

May I suggest you attempt to silent your mind of everything; especially all the religious stuff dancing around in your mind. Then in an atmosphere of complete mental silence and absence of judgment, allow your deepest sense of life and presence to open to an indescribable sense of the infinite and endless vastness of Being.

Once we truly experience the reality of Life, there is little need to give credit or credence to tiny tribal deities like Yahweh, or characters of evil such as the devil (though as far as I know the Bible mentions no deaths attributed too Satan, whereas Yahweh is accredited as a cold blooded murderer par excelance). Of course within infinity there is plenty of room for you to continue floundering about in the grand drama your mind has weaved. I know it can certainly be entertaining and pass the time away; and as of last count there are billions in there with you; so it's not a lonely place.

I get this feeling every time I drink canadian beer, especially the "mental silence and absence of judgment" part.

looks like a bull to me...i thought satan was a goat,or a serpent and supposedly the most beatiful angel...so? all of the above? when people thought the world was flat they saw the morning star fall below the surface of the horizon...the morning star also known as Lucifer and Sirius if i'm not mistaken...

yo,translator please

..."since the only power acting anywhere is God, the devil simply cannot exist as a force acting in opposition to God's expression through Spirit. Therefore, there really is no devil. There is only the manifestation of falsely held beliefs within our minds, which produces that appearance of some sinister invisible force, or being, acting in our lives. To blame unpleasant conditions and circumstances on the devil, or anyone else, is a way of avoiding responsibility for our own experience of life." http://www.religiousscience.org/ucrs_site/philosophy/faq.html#08


..."There cannot be a Law in the Universe which demands evil, lack, limitation, and the experience of unhappiness, to provide shades to magnify Its glory. Therefore, the mystics have taught that evil has only the power to destroy itself; that it is not God-ordained. From the viewpoint of Reality, it is an illusion, but it is not denied as an experience. It is an experience all have had. The great have not failed to recognize the appearance of evil, but they have separated the appearance from the reality. They have done away with evil as a cosmic entity—NO DEVIL, NO HELL, NO TORMENT, NO DAMNATION outside of one’s own state of thought; NO PUNISHMENT outside of that which is self-inflicted, through ignorance; and NO SALVATION OUTSIDE OF CONSCIOUS COOPERATION WITH THE INFINITE. Heaven and Hell are states of consciousness." http://www.rsintl.org/teaching/faq.asp#salvationsinevilhell


..."We do not say that we cannot sin; what we say is, that we do sin—or make mistakes—and are thereby automatically punished AS LONG AS WE CONTINUE TO MAKE MISTAKES; but bondage is not real to the Universe and sin is not real to God. This does not mean that we can do whatever we wish, with disregard for the consequences; nor does the fact that we are punished for our mistakes mean that there is an evil power in the Universe; it does mean that there is an immutable Law of Cause and Effect running through everything. We are not punished for our sins but by them. Sin is its own punishment and righteousness is its own reward!" http://www.rsintl.org/teaching/faq.asp#sin

Pointless conjecture, white or black pick your side, but hope that one will never conquer the other, to do so would end the game of our existance I think, no matter which one prevails the game is still over when one wipesout the other.
