What on earth are you talking about. Just
more mumbo jumbo to hide from the
reality that you have no idea how your own
religion works. I remember this, from dealing
with Xtions up close, I always knew more than
they did about their own religion. No wonder
there are 25,000+ branches of Xtionity, nobody
can figure out what's going on.
You have your explanation. What you choose to do with it is up to you. The problem is you don't seem to really want to know.

How about 1+1=2 or is that to complex of a concept. I really can't think of anything simpler or easier to understand. Cutting a fart maybe. That's pretty easy too.

Calvin Coolidge had the right viewpoint. When a reporter queried him as he was leaving a church, he replied that the sermon was about sin. Upon being pressed further Mr. Coolidge replied "He was agin it.

All you've posted is nonsense, I have no
idea what you're talking about. Almost
nobody is going to heaven, and a mom
and dad hugging their five year old is
supposed to mean something. This
is info I'm supposed to do something with?

Part of the problem with religion, too few seem to think they are capable of imagining anything else on their own.

People like L. Ron Hubbard and a few others realized you didn't need anything to be real about religion, you just needed to create a convincing process. Like a snowball, if you could keep it rolling long enough, it would keep growing on its own. In fact, it's unlikely the original creators could stop their religions at this point even if they wanted too.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

There is much disagreement on this issue which speaks to your statement about the difference between science being in a state of flux and theology being fixed and ridged.


Ridged? Like a potato chip? Those are the best kind.

I've never heard a satisfactory explanation of this from a believer.
