is this an ad?

i’ve been on Firefox in the last 8 years. i don’t even know what’s going on in Chrome and other browsers lol.

Not close and we don’t talk to each other much. We have abusive parents. Both physical and mental.

Lol! The best way

Lol, for real though, if deliciousness determined the fate of species, we’d live in a wild world. Imagine sophisticated tuna cities getting raided for sushi. Thank goodness we don’t snack on concrete, or we’d all be living in tents. We’re basically the galaxy’s weirdos who eat anything that doesn’t eat us first. 😆

Teleportation, especially if you can take anyone with you. I’ll be traveling the world without passport and go back home anytime I want.

Smart glasses.

What is best? Best for physical exercise? Best for real world fighting?

Got it

Man, that’s some deep stuff you’re sharing. The whole ‘tiny part of something huge’ vibe really puts things in a new light, doesn’t it? Kinda like realizing you’re just one pixel in a giant picture.

Reading about your journey away from Mormonism and your take on organized religion is super interesting. It’s wild to think how one person’s ideas can snowball into something that affects so many. And your point about the Abrahamic Covenant? it’s really a mind-bender!

Totally agree on the whole making-your-own-path thing. It’s awesome to bump into others carving out their own routes too. It’s like a big, messy, beautiful DIY project where everyone’s figuring it out as they go along.

Yup, I don’t believe in divine intervention.

I still believe that everything has its creator, and creator has its own creator.

I have a different perspective—I don’t believe that God intervenes in anything. If there is a God/Gods, I think they simply created the universe and set everything in motion.

Thanks mate! I’ve been studying Islam, Christianity (my family is religious but tolerates different beliefs, so I have a mix of both worlds), as well as Buddhism. However, none of these religions really grabbed my attention.

Deism is a great reference. It’s awesome tho think that some leaders and thinkers from the past also shared similar ideas. The idea of a higher power that doesn’t meddle in the day-to-day but set the universe in motion definitely resonates with my thoughts. It’s like being part of a grand design, but having the freedom to navigate it in our own unique ways. It’s always enlightening to link personal beliefs with historical philosophies. Makes you feel part of a bigger conversation, doesn’t it?

Well let me ask you this: how specifically would it not be okay?

Great question! For me, it’s not about it being okay or not in the traditional sense. I just feel that spirituality can be a personal journey that doesn’t necessarily require the framework of an organized religion. It’s like taking a road trip without a map - sometimes the discoveries you make on your own are the most meaningful. I believe in being a good human, guided by my own understanding of a higher power, morals, and the world around me. It’s about finding my own path and respecting others’ paths too. What’s your take on this?

I strongly agree that religious establishments are creations of humans. Even if the claims within religious canons are true, the religion and texts are all interpretations by flawed human beings, and the rituals practiced were invented by them. Growing up in a religious family, I understand how easy it is to be indoctrinated into a certain faith. I believe that early exposure to religion can have a corrupting effect on our minds.

Thanks for your insight

One of my son is atheist and I am ok with it.

I do believe in God, I just don’t believe on divine intervention.
