What are they thinking (the deities) .....
Brother Kaman replied to VonNoble's topic in Philosophy & Theory
Most of us revere our selves. That accounts for our survival instinct. Some revere themselves because they know there is no G/god before them or above them. -
Upset about the statue

It is your constitutional right to display a Buddha statue wearing a Santa hat. If one should be offended by you exercising your rights, they should take it up with the law makers. -

I thought I had made a self explanatory post. I will have to live longer to try to communicate it better. -

Conforming to the rules your society enacts is a survival mechanism. I have conformed well enough to satisfy the society I live in to have reached 70 yrs and not been jailed. If I offend unintentionally and am attacked, well, that is part of what the firearm is for. -

Then maybe we wil learn not to to be offended by so much of the things that come our way. -

If we only did things which would not offend, we would become paralyzed by inaction and nothing would be done. -

Think of it as the Justice League where they all have the same superpowers. -
We all speak from our own biases.

Seems to be an exercise in creating the G/gods in our own image once again. -

All of life is a choice, one right after another. If we are not responsible for our choices, who is? I remember a time in my generation when we said, "The devil made me do it." There are others who would say we have no choices, that we merely respond to the laws of physics. If memory still serves me, Buddha is attributed to have said that we are the only ones responsible for our actions and that would have to include our responses to the actions of others. -
Because Indians were hunter gatherers, many feel today that they are closer to the earth and have a greater connection than the rest of us regular folks. The Druids also had an ancient Earth based spiritualism. Go back far enough and we all did at one point. That does not make us or anyone any more special today than the Pope. I do not understand why staying inside a building during the eclipse without electronic devices is honoring nature any more than being outside enjoying the spectacle.

It has not been determined that the offended lady was a Christian. -
The non(s) have it - or do they?
Brother Kaman replied to VonNoble's topic in Freethought, Secularism, No Religion
There are a good many non profits that are also non religious that do as much or more for the poor than churches. -
My sister Joanne...

I will keep your sorrows with me for a time. -
Rings of Zen, to me.

That would be crazy old naked man. That is where the fifteen minutes of fame come in. The rest can just be an obituary. 20 years from now i would be so old as to make suicide painless just like the tune.

For one thing, running amuck just has a real good ring to it. Another 20 years and I an going to strip naked and run amuck. By then the world will be much closer to ending. At least my part of it will be unless I am right and am immortal after all. In that case I will have my 15 minutes of fame.

Perhaps we should all run amuck, knowing that it could all be gone in an instant.

I am sorry, Jonathan H.B. Lobl. I did not know your agnosticism is G/god specific. It smacks of religious fundamentalism to tell me that because you do not know something, therefore I cannot know it either. You can only know what you know. You cannot know what another knows without being told. Hey kids, it's Howdy Dowdy Time!
