Religion

I am Spiritual but not religious (SBNR)  exploraseeker 

My brand of SBNR is inspired by Sam Harris SBNR (Waking Up: A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion), Judeo Christianity (Antony Flew type of Christian Deism and C.S Lewis type of Christianity, Assemblies of God theology and religious coalition culture, Deism, Ghandism)

If you don’t want to find a religion then please, at least realize THE TRUTH that it is IMPOSSIBLE to prove that a higher power doesn’t exist. 

We cannot prove using human methods that there is or isn’t a higher power. After realizing this truth, then adopt Sam Harris’s SBNR philosophy (like he outlined in Waking Up: A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion). PLZ, it is for your own good

I support religious freedom 

“My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from God as my successes and my talents and I lay them both at his feet.” Ghandi

“I didn’t go to religion to make me happy. I always knew a bottle of Port would do that. If you want a religion to make you feel really comfortable, I certainly don’t recommend Religion .”  C.S Lewis

Forgiveness is a virtue. We should always forgive since we all makes mistakes and we would want forgiveness for ourselves   . “ The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”, “ Forgiveness is choosing to love. It is the first skill of self-giving love”, “ Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.” Ghandi

It certainly wouldn't hurt for everyone of any identity to seek religion or spiritual but not religious (a SBNR JudeoChristianity explorer/seeker path isn't a bad start for their spiritual journey). 

Whatever religion or non religion religion, all people should have a personal relationship with humanity, their God, nature, and seek guidance from those sources in living the lifestyle that is best for them and that allows them to be truly happiest in this life and beyond. I hope everyone of all identities preferences lives the life that is truly best for them and makes them the happiest

I always hope and pray that people living in sin live the life that is truly best for them and that makes them the happiest.

A few of my former friends from one of my former Church Christian groups has these weirds thoughts below in parenthesis and I could not counter these thoughts below because I was kicked out of my church in the late 2000s decade for being too leftist for them and these thoughts by them below were part of their platform after they kicked me out of their church:

“We people who follow Christ’s teachings are the true human rights activists because we push for sinners to live more divine, spiritually happier, and meaningly fulfilling lives and afterlives (by being non sinners i.e Judeo Christians) than they would live if they kept sinning. This frees them from sin and allows them to be what God made them to be. Thus this is true freedom

Atheists and Satanists on on the hand, are the true anti human, fascists since they through their religious like zealotry and clerical adjacent fascism push sinners to live worse lives (by continuing to be sinners) and worse afterlives (by sinning) than they would live if they were to find Christ or a SBNR path to Christ and sin no more”  “If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world”  C.S Lewis

I support cultural variation as in religious dealigning (rejectionism adjacent)

I believe in Reincarnation and I had a past life where I lived from the early mid 1970s to 1982

I support politicians working with religious institutions when possible as long as it is done in a uplifting way

People should use their lives as indirect,  non verbal living conscious encouragements and a positive influence for people who have negative energy, who are on a loser spiritual plane , have spiritual confusion or have a bourgeois vice to live positive lives (without trying to get them to do so or anything). But if they are then open to that then they should be encouraged to follow their conscious , heart and spirit to the best path open to them

From bible “But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life.”

All people on Earth should be proud to be the way that their creator, mother nature, life made them and never be ashamed for it at all . “The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us.” C.S. Lewis

We all have through our conscious the given free choice that holds us morally and spiritually accountable for what we choose. 

It is imperative all people who are on a low spiritual plane, who have a bourgeois vice , who are spiritually confused, or have negative energy be dealt with in a way that doesn't dehumanize them

I hope and pray for all people who are spiritually confused, living on a low spiritual plane ,living with negative energy ,have a bourgeois vice are open to, if it is their heart, conscious and spirit will/nature’s will etc to stop being that way and to transition back to being positive in conscious, heart and spirit  

If they asked me if they should do that, I would tell them if they want to be absolved of any perceived negative issues with themselves they should be negative no more and seek advice what to do next from the spirit , conscious, and their energy/vibes-bio rhythms

The methods of persecution change but its the same evil blowback for using religion to make our world a better place remains. Anti religious bigotry like all bigotry is wrong and needs to end. 

But as we are all spiritually and consciously evolving, it certainly wouldn’t hurt to if there is an opening, to pacifistly confront people who are spiritually confused, have negative energy,  have a bourgeois vice,  and who are on lower spiritual planes whose hearts are open to changing and help them see the light of the spirit in their conscious so they can spiritually and consciously evolve and become higher spiritually and consciously like we would want them to spiritually and consciously help us evolve if they saw us not on an ideal spiritual and conscious plane. 

This can give them the true spiritual and consciously happiness, purpose and meaning that they lack now on their lower spiritual and consciously cloud    “ Because free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having.”  C.S. Lewis

We can and should not be arrogant in our conscious duty to help people with negative energy, a bourgeois vice, who are on a lower spiritual plane or who are spiritually confused to reach that higher spiritual and conscious plane that the spirit/mother nature/conscious  etc put in place for them through their natural laws and energy fields that were created, since we don't have all the answers ourselves and we are all a work in progress.      “And out of that hopeless attempt has come nearly all that we call human history—money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery—the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.”  C.S. Lewis,

From a theological perspective and outlook and based on my SBNR exploraseeker Christian Assemblies of God perspective,

We can be loving, compassionate yet speak and hold to the self evident truth that all hangups (like being a capitalist, being a pedo, etc) are universally immoral and SHOULD tell all such evil doers to be evil no more just like Jesus said to Mary Magdelene

All people who have negative energy, a bourgeois vice, who are on a lower spiritual plane or who are spiritually confused have a social disease called and they need to let the spirit, positive energy, love that shoots from the conscious cleanse them of these imperfections, and also help motivate others to do the same.

“Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.” C.S. Lewis

I am against Christian churches, mosques, Jewish temples promoting drag queens and having drag queen themed events and story times. Keep drag queens away from religion or I will have no choice but to keep them away from religion myself

I support Religious Heredoxy

Sort of like Stanhope I see comedy in people that put religion before their identity. I have known many religious people who never stepped foot inside a church, revival tent, mosque, temple, etc etc

I mention my association with the religious people of my history to shield me from that fact that I’m biased in favor of them. 

Ok I understand all the anti-religion memes from the pagan right atheists like in their minds how religious people created our Liberal mixed economy or social fascism   (true, but Ayn Rand was religious and she supported right wing Capitalism and Leo Tolstoy was a religious socialist so neither Rand or Toltsoy were Liberal Mixed economy supporters or Social Fascists), religion still controls our media by censoring swearing, sex and drugs on Tv and in film  (if you don’t like that then don’t watch it) etc

With the pagan atheist right, they seems to truly drive the point home that they’re anti religious while also taking a nonchalant stance on satanic temple and satanic religions .

Anti religious pagan Right wingers are as annoying as far Liberal 2.0ers. In the larger picture it is extremist Donald Trump supporters that are a larger enemy than religious people . But nope,  

Anti religious pagan Right wingers have to worry about religious people. They like to b**ch like they are rapping. When you got the same answer to all your problems (religious people), it’s time to begin looking within your own group. I don’t get the whole anti religious thing. It seems insane.

Imagine if I went on an on about a Libra supremacy. Yep, if you were born between September 23 – October 22 you are part of a master sign. 

Ponder about that, we have these Libra celebs. (I could go on, but I’m sure most of you non-Libras can figure out search engines and libraries).

Libras got a charming, beautiful, and well-balanced traits that is cooler and more base than all others born in the remaining 48 weeks of the year; Libra’s are truly the universe’s chosen people. And in a super idealized world we would ensure you get the perfect child in September/October.

Doesn’t the above sound freaking RIDICULOUS?

When I hear the pagan atheist rightists go on and on about religious people they come off sounding just like a religious person.

I also have not heard a convincing argument from the pagan atheist right about religious people, it’s always framed as a given that religious people are sinister

If the pagan atheist Right wing wants to discuss religious people obsessively and be cautious about them, whatever – 

I am not going to persuade them otherwise. I do think the whole “religion is Liberal 2.0 or left wing adjacent” is such a time sink and very irrelevant.

I can call it now the potential hot takes from the pagan atheist right or even pagan atheists on the Liberal 2.0 or Left wing side too, if they read this, saying I am a “beta American Christian Zionist pro Muslim religious fanatic” that isn’t awake to the religion issue. What issue? the US? Paint me as indifferent. My only contention with religious people are that the religious girl I was friends with years back in my church 20 somethings group was a Red Sox fan and bad cook , still not indicative of any pattern.
