As I gain more awareness, it seems to me there is no god, astrology is bunk, and everything started going to hell when eMpTyV cancelled Headbanger's ball.
(I'm serious about the nontheist and astrology bit, though.)

Re: disbelief
Mon, March 3, 2008 - 1:42 AMI wholeheartedly agree. And I find it quite scary not to have Big Daddy God watching over me. And not only is there no Big Daddy, I do believe there appears to be no me either. When I have a bad day its enough to make me more depressed, but then again... if I'm nothing to begin with then there's nothing to lose! So thats good! (I think...)

Re: The Truth is beyond belief... and disbelief ~8)
Tue, March 18, 2008 - 6:57 AMWell, that's sort of what I mean. Why be depressed? I think it's convenient to have a God. It makes things comfortable. But I think god is still an invention of man, designed to quell those unexplainable fears. -

i really liked this statement.
"faith in yourself and to your path you are following."
going within is the path to me.
trust in yourself for it is all that can be trusted.
love to you all

Right. You can't.
I'm remembering something from Sherwin T. Wine (American rabbi) who described the position of ignosticism (yes, that's spelled correctly) as "finding the question of God's existence meaningless because it has no verifiable consequences." (I'm paraphrasing throughout this post, of course.)
And Hugh Hefner: "Religion is a myth we invented to explain the inexplicable. The universe is beyond comprehension. Anyone who suggests they have an answer is motivated by the need to invent answers, because we have no such answers."

Re: The Truth is beyond belief... and disbelief ~8)
Mon, April 21, 2008 - 12:21 PMSo after continued investigation, I would still ask, why does the process of enlightenment need to be made from within a theist stance? -

Re: The Truth is beyond belief... and disbelief ~8)
Mon, June 2, 2008 - 6:51 AMNo one has a considered response to this latest question? -

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.

Mon, June 2, 2008 - 10:56 AMTheraveda Buddhism, based on the Hinayana (small boat) philosophy of Buddhism, is about as non-theist as you can get, and they still aim for enlightenment. My take on it is that that is simply a literal adherence to the Buddha's saying "Ultimately, doctrine is unimportant". This comes out of the no-mind experience that in inherent in that kind of illumination. As with mystics and saints of all traditions, each has their own path, and therefore, ultimately path is unimportant, except where it would lead you astray. Namaste -

Re: The Truth is beyond belief... and disbelief ~8)
Mon, June 2, 2008 - 8:54 PMRight. So why is a theist stance necessary? -

Re: The Truth is beyond belief... and disbelief ~8)
Thu, November 20, 2008 - 1:16 PMtheist stances exist only as stepping stones necessary for the blind. as we become sighted the mountain becomes invisible as we also must become -

Re: The Truth is beyond belief... and disbelief ~8)
Tue, July 21, 2009 - 11:54 PMdifferent words, same truth. god, tao, brahmin, big mind, doesnt matter what sum1 chooses to call it, the name isnt what it is/isnt. For must, i must be still, then the truth is experienced, thats all i know, aka, i dont know shit haha :) -

Re: The Truth is beyond belief... and disbelief ~8)
Wed, July 22, 2009 - 8:14 AMBut with a "theist" truth come hosts of other implications, both moral and legal. These things an enlightened world can do without. -

Re: The Truth is beyond belief... and disbelief ~8)
Wed, July 22, 2009 - 6:35 PMi agree, perhaps an enlightened world wouldn't need a "theistic" truth -
-
Re: The Truth is beyond belief... and disbelief ~8)
Wed, July 22, 2009 - 9:17 PMThus, a theistic stance is not required for enlightenment.
