Just recently, Malcolm Jamal-Warner, Ozzy Osbourne, and Chuck Mangione. :(

I also miss Hermes - I don't think they made many posts, but I liked them. I think they predated me slightly. Haven't seen them in awhile.

Intriguing!

Well, having had or encountered something in a past life AND having and encountering it in this life are not mutually exclusive. I'm not sure if you mean YOUR mother in this life was murderous and this doesn't look like her kind of thing? Or if you are picking up an idea from the object that...

I am so happy to see discussion in these areas again!

Me too, at least in large part

Wasn't that a common view amongst various Gnostic groups also? The Demiurge?

Useful Charts has great information Matt Baker is the channel host. A wide array of videos on religions and historical topics. I've learned a lot from it. https://www.youtube.com/@UsefulCharts/videos...

If you don't believe in eternal punishment, or eternal paradise, or conditional immortality, what IS your theory about what happens to a soul in the afterlife? 🤔

No, most evangelicals believe in eternal conscious torment in hell More heterodox groups like SDAs, JWS, Christadelphians, and the descendants of the Armstrong churches, believe in conditional immortality, where the wages of sin = death.

Yes its absolutely possible to believe in G-d without believing the Bible or any other holy book. You can gain a more objective view of the Bible and what it is (yes, written by humans) by looking into the field of bible scholarship if you haven't already. Dan McClellan on YouTube is a good...

I suppose it depends upon WHAT you are trying to win - what you are trying to accomplish and what outcome you seek. An angry neighbor is more a detriment than a benefit, from the point of view of their neighbor. What is the angry neighbor angry about? What are their reasons and how good are...

It sounds like you have very eventful and informative dreams. Do experiences like this happen every time you fall asleep?

I definitely miss Cino, and RJ, and juantoo... I also miss Vasu Devan, Nick the Pilot, and Modesty. There used to be someone with the name seattlegal, whom I never got to have much discussion with but she seemed intriguing.

Yes, hopefully, but I wonder about the repercussions and even just outing oneself as having a different approach to faith. I think it should be more discreetly done, not just "well let's end this meeting with a prayer" In my workplace something slightly related came up, and because we are a...

I agree with what you say - although I'd have to read again to see if the person got the job under false pretenses. I think them playing along is false pretenses possibly due to naivete but I don't think they can walk it back. I think they may not have understood that the job entailed religious...

Basically the request to pray while you are at a meeting is unacceptable BECAUSE IT IS RELIGIONISM
