Damn! That was the point of Back to the Future, wasn't it? Ah, my eyes are open. It makes more sense now. I think I was 5 years old when it came out.
There is only One...and one way out of here. For the moment, your way is self-deception. You are way more intelligent than this, but that your motives trip you up and make you stumble. Pretending to follow me may fool you, but not me. If you are not identifying with Christ, you have not yet been baptized. Rather, you deny Christ, thinking yourself humble. This is not humility. It is arrogance which attempts to change what *our Father* Created...you...before the foundation of the world. What you have made of yourself since does not change what *our Father* created, but it does change Self to a self-concept, which disbelieves it's own Truth, and "walks" away from Reality. This is but foolishness. You are perfectly capable of rising above the pettiness of little minds in denial. Be of good cheer. I have overcome the world of smallsville, so you can too. Christ is everything. If you are not in Christ, you are nowhere and nothing, thinking yourself to be something, somewhere. This places you within illusions about yourself, powerless, helpless, at the mercy of forces around you. None of this is true. Even "there", you cannot not be in Christ. You cannot "know" you are not the Son of God, equal to the Father in every way. You can believe what you want...in fantasies. That is all. You can make the fantasy seem "real". Nothing more. Congratulate yourself instead, on masking what cannot be denied. Laugh instead at this vainglorious masquerade. Heaven cannot be fooled by your funny antics. Rather, your protests are transparent, and the light of Christ can be seen right through the smokescreens you have put up to hide the light. Jesus
Exactly. Thinking is a process invented to self-decieve. It is for seeing and doing. It makes "things" to "see", and "acts" "out". God created you to be and create. Thinking masks the Truth, but cannot obliterate the Kingdom, which has been sent/taken with you - "within" - on your strange journeys into oblivion. *Our Father* creates only equals, and likewise, we create only equals. If you are not equal, you must be a self-concept, asleep, small, unique, special, believing, uncertain, sacrificing, seeking, striving, weak...everything not of our Father's Kingdom. This cosmos is not an equal. It is an opposite of Self in every way. So it is a joke. Time to start laughing. Thinking is the other "master" I spoke of when I said, "you cannot serve two masters". A house [think: mind, temple] divided against itself cannot stand. Falling, it conjures up images. Thus, man is imagined...as in, "graven image". How is that not a joke? I thought you liked the old testament?! Jesus
Thank you. The world is like a Self-referencing dictionary, dubiously defining what it denies it knows. Jesus
Oxford English Dictionary (OED) atheism Disbelief in, or denial of, the existence of a god. ....Not to believe or credit; My emphases is I suggest, why you don't really debate at all. Excused definitions, which accomodate the word atheist as simply no belief without connotation , are blind spotted so to avoid the obvious, which doesn't sit with a particular narrowed down view. Like adding to a constantly losing trade Tell me jem, do you also think the definition of apolitical is someone who believes in the non existence of politics?
