While theological questions can be fun and interesting they are not the same as real knowledge. Religion remains a belief and fiction, no matter how clever one becomes at playing with the constructs.

My belief is in the power of education, Plato.
I agree that education is important. The question I have is education to what end? Our education system has produced our current circumstances.
Education can enslave as well as liberate
That was some deep stuff, Plato! I don’t recall from previous posts, so if I may ask, what kind of class are you teaching here? I’m sure you mentioned it previously, but I don’t recall. I liked the part where you said what religion calls sin is really a symptom. Also, the analogy of theological debates and Pokemon Go was a good one. Very interesting!
Hey friend. I am a redneck headshrink with a pastoral background. I volunteer at a “Christian” sponsored men’s rehab for sixteen years or so. It is a rehab but in my mind we are or can be addicted to a fictional world system. I have been asked to write my ramblings down but I’m too lazy. 🙂 my compromise was to record and publish them here. They are for the guys to watch later and anybody else who may be interested. I like the video better cause it a truer representation of me and how I work. I think writing it down may leave a wrong impression that I’m smart and polished. 🙂 that is the opposite if what I want to do. I would rather someone laugh and find some fun in it. Thank you for being here.
Well, I think it’s terrific. The beauty of this video is that without even knowing the context of what the program was, I found myself saying out loud, “that’s true!” more than once – like the part about never needing to use algebra, and that the concept of the trinity hinges on perception. There’s so much meat to these truths, it could apply to anyone.
That makes me glad.:) thank you for saying that
I know for me I ususally write the stories and find out what they mean later. 🙂 not the other way around
It can be helpful though. 🙂
You don’t take people’s crap unless you’re afraid of something = Living in fear = Fear becomes God = Can lead to an addiction to church (or other addictions) (So if I figure out what Seeker is all about I think I can fix the being fearful…maybe.)
I like that summary sugar. The worlds system is based on fear. Perfect love casts it out. Love is not nice or sweet or metrosexual Facebook jesus petting a lamb. Love is the state of being and behaving and speaking and relating without fear.
In a sense religion as a path to salvation is like trying to master a video game as the means to it.
Or writing a story…
