Just how far does the "reach" of the absolute actually go?😉

So you spend every single day building up your faith, praying a little bit, and defending the one true God all over the internet. Then, suddenly, you get this automatic pass where Jesus guarantees you can land a loan from the big banks. It’s like you’re serving the Jewish God just to pay him back for the rest of your life in some "heavenly kingdom" reserved for the poor in spirit. 😍
But apparently, it's only with Him! Only through God does Jesus guarantee that credit line. If you go to any other bank—you know, the satanic ones—you get absolutely nothing! 😍
No, seriously, those Pharisee bankers really nailed the concept here. I have to hand it to them. 😍😍
And even after a thousand years, they're still running the business! 👋👋
"As above, so below"? Is that supposed to be all the satanic wisdom we get? 🙂

I don't think there's such a thing as an absolute on this planet. Everything feels pretty relative to me, I guess.
I guess the world is just a blurry reflection of absolute nothingness. Maybe. ☕

Man, if you had said that back in the Middle Ages, those nasty peasants would have probably burned you at the stake! 🤣🤣
I mean, just thinking about heresy against the Jewish God is basically heresy itself, I guess. 😬 🤣 🤣 🤣

Something’s been rattling around in my head today, so I figured I’d drop a few thoughts here for all you Believers regarding this whole concept of spiritual sin...
😁
Since I know the term is pretty familiar to most of you..
You can basically "digest" it into any kind of "spiritual practice" that has a specific GOAL in mind.
Like—if you hit church every single day and knock out 213 Hail Marys a week, you think you’re just gonna sit there with God in paradise enjoying the view?😬
Or—"I HAVE to meditate for two hours and 65 minutes every day if I want to reach enlightenment."
It's always "I have to do this" or "I must do that" to achieve something... Now, I'm not talking about basic life stuff—like fasting so you can earn some pity or whatever—I mean: people acting like if they stop grinding, they'll automatically win the Powerball. Maybe they will, maybe they won't.
What’s the common thread in all these attitudes? It's that you're calling yourselves "selves"—you've identified entirely with your own outward personality and you're terrified of losing your own existence...
You're scared out of your minds by "scriptures" that people would swear on their lives are true, which drill it into your brain that you are separate, individual, flawed, and guilty. You're taught you're just "God's Sheep," where your supposedly "good" shepherd hands out blessings one drop at a time under the threat of punishment... leaving you convinced of your own IMPERFECTION.
PERFECTION is divine, absolute, and without ego (and no, I don't mean crap 🤣 🤣—I mean the ego)
THE TRUTH IS, YOU ARE ALL DIVINE BY NATURE... and that isn't some state you haven't reached yet, nor is it a matter of being "separated" from the divine. You just believe you are. That's how you were raised from birth. You aren't to blame for any of it.
WHY does that offend you? Do you honestly think you aren't worthy of God? That’s just your "ego" at work..
Let’s be clear—the ego doesn't disappear. Your ego is your very presence. People without egos aren't walking around like two-legged zombies...
If a mountain had an ego, it would be arguing with God.
It doesn't do that—honestly, I've never even heard of a mountain complaining to hell.🤣
In the absolute sense, where are the rewards and where are the punishments?
😁

Absolute is relative, and relative is absolute. 😁

Dammit 😁
Nice write-up—but maybe fix those typos and grammar slips first—otherwise those hypocritical believers won't take you seriously 😬

honestly, it’s both—it’s all just living inside your own head, I guess.

Sean Martinez4 said:Well, it's because I'm not some mindless drone who blindly believes in "God"! That's how I stay spiritual, I guess. 🙂
I've already gone over this—it isn't really the deciding factor here. I even brought up Buddhists as a specific example.

No one in this country has the right to declare themselves God.
You made yourself pretty clear about where you stand—even if you did go out of your way to insult those who actually believe in Him—but let’s not pretend you’re part of the group.

You're dead wrong. 😉

Sean Martinez4 said:Yeah, who's left once you clear out all the garbage? 😛 🤣 🤣
It’s clearly an insult again—I'm calling on the mods to decide if this warrants a ban.

Forget the moderators—maybe you should consider why it’s even bothering you in the first place? 🙂

But why not, though? I mean, what even is God if not that? Is He just some unreachable, perfect ideal that’s only allowed to be mentioned by these terrified, self-proclaimed 'believers'? Honestly, what does God even mean to you? Why do you think you get to act all jealous and gatekeep Him from everyone else, like you have some divine right to stop people from speaking His name, or hanging out with Him, or even trying to see themselves in Him? Like, where do you get off thinking you own that kind of authority?

Go vent in the religion sub—that’s where that stuff gets banned...
This is about spirituality, and everyone here has the right to say whatever they want😉 (regarding faith and all that)
And I didn't even offend myself, Bogo..😉

That's exactly what extremists do—it's just that theirs is called Allah
What kind of God needs people acting like hired muscle to defend His honor? 😁
To me, this looks way more like some medieval reign of terror😁

Yeah. 🙂 I guess he just doesn't get Zen Koan vibes. 😬 😈 🤣 🤣
Right, Catholics start with the result—with Christ on the cross... then come the miracles, and suddenly they're lost in the wonder of it all. 😬 🤣 🤣

It's their golden age. 😁 We're out here trying to move past the Dark Ages, but they seem hell-bent on dragging us right back there. 🤣 🤣

It’s because "Satan" basically "stole" "God" and now he’s acting all proud of it! 🙂 😬 😍 😈 😈
