How many of you are Christians?

[Diesel]

True. See, see how I can agree with people I dont usually agree with when they are correct on something?

Same here.

[Diesel]

Something is wrong with the poll at the top. We have TWO confirmed Yes's but it only shows one. So far the Devil is one ahead of the GOOD GUYS,...no matter,...in the end WE WIN!

The devil?

It shows 2 for me.

[AProudLefty]

The devil?

He means Damocles.

[Diesel]

That is what Paul teaches. I call the religion "Paulian".

Which is not Christian.

[Diesel]

He means Damocles.

I don't think he does.

[AProudLefty]

Which is not Christian.

Bingo.

[AProudLefty]

I don't think he does.

Are you suuuuuureeeee????

[Cypress]

Explain.

Many Buddhists are atheists.

I've read the Dhammapada, and it is chock full of dieties, spirits, descriptions of hell, and devas.

The Asian Buddhist traditions where built on the foundations of Hindu cosmology and dieties. It's just that Buddhists do not see spirits, devas, and dieties as the highest form of spirituality. The highest form of spirituality is enlightenment and nirvana. So Buddhism is not really atheist in the modern western meaning of the word.

There are Americans who adopt some Buddhist practice for the hipster essence and coolness factor, but desire to cling to an atheist facade.


As for me, I am dubious that Jesus was divine, but his example and his message had a resonance that speaks to some kind of higher truth. I also periodically enjoy the ritual and aesthetics of the Eastern Orthodox liturgy.

How does this sentence make sense if Devil becomes Damocles?

So far the Devil is one ahead of the GOOD GUYS,...no matter,...in the end WE WIN!

I was just joking.

And I agree that Devil is one of the good guys. The Devil is a version of Prometheus.

You can't just follow the commandments and the golden rule and call yourself a Christian. You have to go to church, study the Bible, etc. Just my opinion.

All those things are important. To me though the top things would be accepting Jesus as your savior, repenting of your sins DAILY, Praying for forgiveness and more importantly praying for the wisdom to DO BETTER.

I didn't pick up on it.

I don't think it's wise for Stone to call non-Christians the devil.

[Hawkeye10]

I answered no of course but I adore the Christians who refuse to convert to WOKE generally....they are the most likely people in this society to stand up against the tyranny.

But then again U R U.
