Theists: What are you doing in the Religion and Spirituality section?

Isn't your presence here a tacit admission that faith is not sufficient reason for believing anything?

If it were, you would not be seeking the opinions of others to validate your position. Nor would you be attempting to convert everyone else who has a faith which contradicts yours.

    Pieces of the puzzle are hidden all over the globe. Everyones input is invaluable. We see a picture beginning to emerge when we listen to one another. Religion has been a weapon in the hands of evil men. No one has the whole truth. A piece of the truth is in each one of us. Together we have the whole truth. If we can do without the divisiveness of religion.

    Belief is not knowledge. Belief is a sign that people are searching. When one tells you that they know something that they really only actually believe, without actual absolute knowledge, they are lieing to you. I think they are taught, brainwashed to "Spread the Word" that what they got taught is knowledge.

    Where there lies belief, there also lies doubt.

    R&S is like a spiritual stock market. You don't know how each of us feels from moment to moment while attempting to search for more functional beliefs. Perhaps our belief will feel stronger or perhaps our doubt will. If we don't trade, we just get anxious.

    Hi! I am a Forgive Affirmed Spirit.

    Forgive Affirmed Spirit is the belief in a way of life that is a method of grief resolution and functional communication processing involving active listenning, sympathy, empathy and affirmation of shock, denial, anger, guilt, depression, loneliness and hope.

    A Greater Works of communication and action, a way to learn to love your enemies "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you AS IF YOU WERE THEM!"

    And nobody is perfect! NOBODY! We are all judgeable, hopefully in a graceful discerning way!

    Humans judge everything as we are a part of it. Without difference, we have nothing to live for, nothing to witness. Sin is difference, the relative seriousness with regards to law and survival of other beings, is punishable by the courts. The best way to judge is with as much graceful discernment as one can muster in a given moment!

    Life is the question(uncertainty) asked by the exhaling infinitely compacted imagination invention, or no thing, which is completely certain of everything, completely omniscient or all knowing.

    When I die, I believe I will be in a new state, aware of all that is and yet divided into the nature of dust that I am in, whereupon my dust shall fall. My being will remain an infinite part of an infinite being and infinite knowledge without my material human being status of now. So there will be a change.

    But my soul, my passions and discompassions, will move on to infinite places of comfort and challenge. Able to return to this state of uncertainty and free choice illusion for another ride when it is called effectively to do so.

    So that the children of God, the creations of God, .. are actually part in parcel of that God or Creation Energy!

    This life is a roller coaster ride. Enjoy your passion within it and whatever gathering of two or more in Forgive Affirmed Spirit to make it better can garner.

    Healing be unto you and yours and me and mine in

    Forgive Affirmed Spirit
