Today I felt so good in mind, heart, body and soul! It was hard not to believe in God. If God caused my feelgood day, thank you God. I'm prepared to admit He may very well exist. It's highly possible. It's unhighly impossible.

As long as you always agree with me, I will be open minded.

"our Father who might be in Heaven hallowed be thy name" I was thinking about this the other day. Agnostics can still pray. They just need to modify the language. "God, assuming you exist, I need your help" "Lord to be honest I'm not sure you are there. And I might be just talking to...

You make some good points AB. I feel similar to you. Christianity can narrow or broaden. I think when it broadens us, it is truly liberating. When it is rule obsessed, it becomes limiting. But we need structure. Or our life is built on sand . Jordan Peterson made a similar observation. People...

I am obsessing about this hero's journey recently. For Christians Jesus is the hero. I can't help thinking how I have met some very humble decent people in my life. I suspect they had "Jesus" in them. By that I mean, they had depth and selflessness and love I guess. They never aspired to...

Thanks agnostic boy. Nice post

The Christians are different to the Jews and Islam. They believe God became man. In some ways, Christianity is expecting more of its followers than the other two . I feel more faith there is a God than, that God actually became man. However. The NT and gospels are more attractive from a wisdom...

The theistic religious have hope. Hope in the afterlife. Having something to look forward to is part of happiness imo. Just like we look forward to Christmas. And it eases grief. That we will be reunited with loved ones. How do atheists deal with grief?

In Australia, gambling is popular. One gambling option for racehorses is "each way". You gamble to win and/get a place. Just in case it gets beaten narrowly. Now I'm using the same expression for gambling on Jesus as God's existence. I am having an each way bet. I'm not sure Christianity will...

Campbell said "follow your bliss". I think this can be misleading advice for some. It could mean "only do what you enjoy". Well some days you don't enjoy even learning a musical instrument. I love guitar but there were tough days learning scales when it wasn't blissful. Just hard work. And...

Yes but the level of vengeance/violence in the OT seems more than justice. I find such answers from Christians unconvincing. I find a lot of the Bible is undefendable. But guess I'm just talking like a cynic now.

A Christian might say that none of us are heroes. It's not about us. "Our" journey. It's about the God potential in us. If we succeed , we owe it to Him. The heroic Christian journey is one of self forgetfulness. Credit goes to God . Always. Whereas a non Christian is inclined to give himself...

You know that some talented people use the hero's journey to strive to be the best in their field? Was micha l Jordan one? Or is it Kobe Bryant?

I need to watch Star Wars with Joseph Campbell's ideas in mind. The hero's journey.
