Lisa Jackson7 said:So now that you've ditched that whole scientism dogma, you're acting all offended like people are "pigeonholing" you by calling you a scientist.

Don't be ashamed of what you believe...

neonmarlin39 said:Do you have any idea how many testimonies there are about people being healed from terminal illnesses? 🤣

Lisa Jackson7 said:Yeah.

From my point of view—and I’m not trying to be rude, just stating my take—living an atheist lifestyle seems pretty pointless, depressing, and aimless.

I'm not offended—honestly, faith used to just be something I did out of habit back in the day... but now, I'm a true Christian believer.

Since you were just sharing your own perspective, I don't think anyone should take it personally.

goldenjackal6 said:Look, being forced to follow some political power is a totally different ballgame than daydreaming about gods. Just because the law holds you accountable doesn't mean you've suddenly become a religious person.

You hit the nail on the head right there. You've perfectly captured that massive, recurring issue with religion: people start devaluing actual human lives just to feed their own fantasies. That kind of warped logic is exactly how you end up with things like the Inquisition.

James Miller2 said:I believe those personal testimonies aren't bad since they encourage people to change.
Human beings rarely change (unless something is life-threatening).
And improving one's life is necessary for health and survival.

How would you explain it if, for example, a doctor told someone they had an incurable disease, and then that disease vanished after prayer and fasting?
You cannot simply dismiss that as fantasy or positive thinking.

There are specific conditions and miracles required for shrines; I am not particularly familiar with them, so I cannot comment.

James Miller2 said:Yes, to heal. 👍

You probably have your own set of prejudices about how my life should look or who I should be. I don't hold it against you.

Boldano—yeah, I hate you enough to actually give you some advice on what to do next. 🤣
You clearly have no idea what hatred actually is. Goodbye.

James Miller2 said:If I were feeling emotionally charged, I would probably dive headfirst into your correspondence with total intensity.
If you intend to continue provoking me in this manner, expect nothing but silence. I will simply ignore you. There won't be any further depth to my response.

The way I see your argument is that, as a believer, I shouldn't be allowed to have an opinion of my own.
I shared my honest thoughts on the atheistic worldview. That doesn't mean I harbor any hatred toward you all.
Some atheists are out there writing things about us believers that are even worse than usual. It’s relentless. Yet, I don't recall any single believer—aside from perhaps myself—ever actually inviting that kind of vitriol.

Being a believer doesn't mean I have to sit there and take insults from others. It certainly doesn't mean I have to tolerate any kind of psychological abuse. There is no requirement in my faith to accept being mistreated.

Thanks for the "compliments."
My advice is simple. You need to heal yourself first. Fix your own wounds and tend to that broken soul of yours that's screaming for help. Only once you've done that should you even attempt to communicate with the rest of the world.
If you don't change your mindset, you'll just keep running into nothing but trouble. You’ll end up attracting all sorts of toxic people and messy situations. It happens.

James Miller2 said:Just relax.

First, take a breath. Go back to your own post. Read it again. Analyze the impression you actually left. Then, connect the dots and explain exactly why my post hits just as hard as yours.

Your perception is one thing. Someone else's reality is quite another.

Which religion condemns those who disagree? 🤔

Faith doesn't actually accomplish anything. It is the people that get the work done.

What specifically turned you off from faith?
Science, people, or something else entirely?

Can you write it?

I am a traveler on the road. Constant motion defines my existence. I move through the landscape, observing the asphalt stretching toward the horizon. There is a certain stillness found in the transit itself. It is not about the destination. It is about the rhythm of the journey. says:
For most atheists out there, this just isn't true.

Atheists and theists—though if you ask me, we’re all believers in something—share a certain commonality. Earthly authority sits above all else.
For theists, there is a distinct advantage in being able to relativize and challenge that earthly power through absolute authority.

Atheists (for the most part) lack that recourse.

bluemason3 was once a believer and remains one at heart; he simply swapped faiths. Now he identifies as a positivist, a physicalist, a naturalist, a scientist... some sort of blend of those things.

When you speak of earthly authority, are you referring to the government, the Constitution, or the legal system?

From my perspective, an atheistic way of life appears meaningless, depressing, and aimless. This isn't an insult, just my perception.

Lisa Jackson7 said:Most atheists don't see it that way.

Both atheists and theists (who, let's face it, are all just believers in something) deal with some kind of earthly authority above them.
The lucky thing for theists is they can push back against those earthly powers by leaning on an absolute authority.

Atheists mostly can't do that.

Thanks for the deep dive.

Were you ever a believer? Have you actually felt what you're writing about?

bluemason3 was a believer and still is, technically—he just swapped faiths... now he's a positivist, a physicalist, a naturalist, a scientist... some mashup of all that.

David Vaughn75 said:Every single religion out there operates on the idea that there's some kind of underlying purpose or reason why we're even here.
Sure, your physical body is just biology—conception, cells, all that jazz—but your spirit, or soul, or whatever you want to call it... that's supposed to come from some higher calling.

No religion on this planet claims that everything is just a massive, random accident.

James Miller2 said:Regarding morality, such conclusions can only be drawn on your own behalf, not on behalf of all mankind.
Without religious communities, man would struggle to find a sense of how to distinguish good from evil.

Most faiths preach peace, love, community, and forgiveness.
These are instructions for a happier life. Fantasy develops when a person refuses to engage with the world around them and stays trapped within the bubble of their own ego.

And I ask that people who have never practiced faith do not write about it. Passive observers should stay silent.

Sopdet, a believer has an authority above themselves. Someone watching and recording every thought and action.

An atheist has no one but themselves. They are "responsible" only to themselves.
That is a very dangerous territory for the development of the human spirit and soul.

Thanks for the detailed explanation.

Have you ever been a believer? Have you actually experienced what you are writing about?

Stories about seeing believers do non-religious things are nothing but old wives' tales.
You can find people like that on both "sides."

I am interested in your personal experience if you have ever been involved in this.
Then we might actually have a constructive conversation. You could present the facts that troubled you or things that didn't make sense to you.

The way you view faith is so lifeless, hollow, and purely factual.
It is all ideology, psychology, and philosophy.

If you lack the personal experience of feeling even a small amount of faith, you will never truly understand it; it will always remain within the realm of fantasy to you.

It is a different matter if you tried it and found it didn't work, or if too much remained unclear to you.
Otherwise, further discussion from my end is pointless. It would just be a waste of your energy and mine, and our precious time.

David Vaughn75 said:Food is basically the prerequisite that lets you actually *do* anything else in life.
The material world exists to serve the spiritual one.

Nobody is telling you that you can't enjoy material things; I don't see the issue there. 🤷 It's just that if you take a real good look around, the world is absolutely crawling with suffering, violence, despair, wars, hunger, and tragedy. Does that sound like a "good" state of affairs to you, or does it feel like something needs to change? If you think this current mess is fine, then hey, no problem.

All this suffering stems from the illusion that matter is going to bring you happiness. Spoiler alert: it won't. You've got billionaires, actors, pop stars—people who have everything the world has to offer—and they’re still miserable. A person gets exactly what they always wanted, and as soon as they grab it, they start eyeing something new. That's just how the material world works; it's a bottomless pit that can never be filled.
Wealthy nations have access to every resource on the planet, yet they still go to war and snatch resources from other countries.
People were born into this material existence because they wanted to rule, they wanted control, but it's all an illusion. True, absolute control belongs only to God, and once you finally realize that, that's when you actually experience freedom.

James Miller2 said:I say that is false.

Faith makes a person more of a moral being than an emotional one.

David Vaughn75 said:Evagrius Ponticus basically argued that knowing God isn't some emotional high. He claimed that visions, voices, and all those religious "feelings" are actually just distractions from true realization. When people mistake an emotional rush for actual spiritual truth, they end up totally losing the rhythm of their inner life.

What's your take on this?

If emotions are like a river—this wild current just tossing us around left and right without any say in the matter—does that mean we aren't even in control of ourselves?
Maybe the whole point is supposed to be surrendering to God and relying solely on Him... but is that union with God meant to be quiet contemplation, a state of Nirvana, total nothingness, or just a massive explosion of feeling?

Just because emotions act as this built-in mechanism for spontaneous action doesn't mean you’ve lost your autonomy or that you "don't depend on yourself." Look, those feelings belong to you. Period. At the end of the day, how you actually handle them—how you process that surge of adrenaline or that sudden wave of anger—is entirely on you. It's all about how you manage your own internal compass.

Look, the whole idea isn't about just surrendering yourself to God. That’s a misunderstanding. The real point is that emotions and logic are constantly at odds with each other, like two different drivers fighting over the steering wheel of a car. You can't drive straight if you're constantly swerving because of emotional stress. You need that clarity. Real insight—true realization—comes from leaning on your head, not your heart. It’s about using reason as your primary tool to actually make sense of things.

Basically, dopamine handles that "feel good" vibe while simultaneously killing your need for sleep—which then wrecks your dopamine receptors. Those exact receptors and dopamine levels are what trigger psychosis... that was the whole point of the post...

And whether they're produced *exactly* inside it isn't even the main issue... because I said the pineal gland is basically synonymous with what's called the "Third Eye" in Hinduism, given that the gland looks like an eye in cross-section. This whole "opening your third eye" thing is way more complex than whatever you think you learned from ten minutes of Googling. Plus, the "Third Eye" isn't some physical object tucked away somewhere—it’s more like a functional position within the body...

It's all linked to dopamine, serotonin, and melatonin. Go ahead, study those interactions for another ten minutes if you want to be an even bigger Clown...

Besides, the guy above actually wrote exactly what he meant...

Then there's you, acting like you've got a PhD in psychology when you don't even know the basic terms—just cutting and pasting posts, lying (like saying you did 8 + 4 years of high school and then somehow graduated in 10 days, haha, what a "smart" Clown)...

Plus, the "Third Eye" isn't some physical object tucked away somewhere—it’s more like a functional position within the body...

It's all linked to dopamine, serotonin, and melatonin. Go ahead, study those interactions for another ten minutes if you want to be an even bigger Clown...

Besides, the guy above actually wrote exactly what he meant...

Then there's you, acting like you've got a PhD in psychology when you don't even know the basic terms—just cutting and pasting posts, lying (like saying you did 8 + 4 years of high school and then somehow graduated in 10 days, haha, what a "smart" Clown)... You grab "intelligence" from Google in the ten minutes it takes to craft a rebuttal, and then have the nerve to tell others to read more carefully...

In a real conversation, you wouldn't even know what to say... someone smarter would just absolutely shred your arguments...

lonestag15 said:High dopamine levels drop the melatonin production in the pineal gland. And since melatonin is a derivative of serotonin...

Basically, dopamine handles that "feel good" vibe while simultaneously killing your need for sleep—which then wrecks your dopamine receptors. Those exact receptors and dopamine levels are what trigger psychosis... that was the whole point of the post...

So, I was looking into the technical programs over at the University of Cleveland—you know, that whole engineering scene... just thinking about how different things run compared to the math departments at places like NYU. It’s a trip...

So you’ve got all this electrical engineering expertise, but zero clue about Kundalini... now that's an interesting combo...

Remember when I told you in that one post you sounded like some English professor? And then you hit me with that whole "elementary school plus four years of high school doesn't exactly make you a professor" line... typical...

You realize you’ve used the phrase "delusions of grandeur" like ten different times now—and totally out of context, too—mixing up psychiatric terms with psychological ones... which basically proves you didn't even know what the term meant until two days ago. I mean, you literally just sent me a message about it like ten days back. You can't even get the terminology right before you just go copy-paste some random crap from the internet and call it "hallucinations of grandeur"... honestly...

You remember when I told that guy he was basically just projecting an image of God, right?
It doesn't exist because projection is just taking your own baggage and pinning it on someone else... so, honestly, when you claim that, you're really just describing yourself—the guy who’s supposedly an "expert in psychology" or whatever. Nobody can project an image of God...

So, you actually noticed that I typed "mAlEtonin" two days ago before I fixed it to "melatonin"... which pretty much confirms my theory—I didn't even know how to spell it myself, I was just Googling it on the fly...

So, you’re basically just a total disaster of a human being—a massive clown, really—who jumps into every single thread about spirituality despite having zero clue what you're actually talking about. Honestly, you've got less spiritual depth than my Pekingese... You don't know anything about religion, you don't grasp any actual form of spirituality, and you clearly don't practice a damn thing. You just hang around this forum to dump all that negativity you're clearly overflowing with...

Cut the crap—I'm seriously done with you and all this clowning around...

There was this statue of Ganesha and Vivekananda, plus a ton of stuff about old mythology—and right at the entrance, they had this whole section on the era when Tesla moved to town and his beef with Edison, along with all those technical inventions. By the exit, there was this interactive thing where you basically whack pigeons with bolts of electricity on a screen in front of you... We even got these little tablets around our necks so we could pick our own themes from the numbered exhibits...

Things were shifting around in that exhibit—stuff was being swapped out or maybe even pulled entirely. If you missed the section on Ganesha and Vivekananda, they might have already cleared it out by then... honestly though, I couldn't care less...

Don't bother commenting on any of my posts anymore—and I won't be bothering with yours either. Go find some other idiot to argue with if you really have nothing better to do with your life...

A couple of clowns...

You're being incredibly rude—it's enough to drive anyone crazy. It’s impossible to have a decent debate with you because the second I state something I know for a fact, you just snap back that "every idiot" is twisting words... so, what, is that supposed to be directed at me or something?

lonestag15 said:Man, seriously... I've actually read his biographies... and I even went to that "Nikola Tesla mind from the future" exhibit in New York where they were explaining all these Hindu concepts and how he was connected to them. They had these huge statues of Ganesha and Swami Vivekananda—who, by the way, was famously close with Tesla...

I mean, for real, maybe just do a quick Google search before trying to hit me with a counter-argument...
