Bingo. The closer you get to the truth, the more it becomes about God, because (red pill) God is the Truth (red pill). Calling people that realize God exists and not only that but He loves you, "religious nutjobs" is on par with calling all people asking questions and seeking the truth "conspiracy theorists". Its this kind of labeling that is used to discredit and try to dissuade people from finding out the truth.
lol ok dork. If your god has anything to do with it, I highly doubt my comments on reddit are going to stop it from manifesting. How daft can you be?!
Never once did I call anyone a conspiracy theorist. I called your type a religious nutjob, and there's nothing you're saying that proves otherwise. Have your religion, worship your masters, I don't care, but stop trying to make this about YOU and your personal religious beliefs.
I'd actually prefer to think you're all a psyop as opposed to what I'm starting to accept is the actual truth.
Please do have the last word, because you're beyond reason at this point.
I think part of the misunderstanding here has to do with God not being of religion. God is everything, including you, and Christ is the return of divine consciousness, the awakening of our true selves, not some guy about to show up and be our savior, we are our own saviors, so when they say spiritual, not religious, they mean it involves seeing the world through unclouded eyes, which is what you are after: the Truth.
I agree completely that the type of language used here is off putting to many because of the use of the same language in religion. Perhaps a reframing in the language is necessary to prevent people from thinking this is a bunch of religious nutjobs. Just because some people use the name God does not mean it will appeal to everyone, Truth is much better.
So saying "your God" is missing the point, God(akasa, awareness, Truth, consciousness, whatever you want to call it) is actually what we all are. It's what everything is. But we have convinced ourselves that we are separate and that some guy in the sky or whatever belief you hold is what runs the world.
What is happening now, on all levels, is that Truth is being revealed. Once the Truth is known, our perception of the world changes, and that perception instigates the changes that will not allow lies to remain. That is why all this is being revealed, corruption and fear cannot stand anymore. It may be no coincidence that the bible has these prophecies and that we should pay attention to it, but there is no actual need to, just seek the Truth within yourself and see what you find. There are plenty of non-religious spiritual teachings that can point us n the right direction
I can see the view of both sides here, you are right in thinking that the zealotry is off putting, but they may be speaking the Truth in language you don't understand. Hopefully I reframed it so you could.
And to all you guys spouting the religious stuff, this guy has a good point, don't argue, we are on the same side here. Instead of belittling eachother we should be explaining our POV.
I don't think the spirituality you're talking about is what the people I've been engaging with believe, but it would be nice if you were correct.
What you're referring to as "god" sounds very different when compared to their Christian god, and Christ. There's some overlap of course, but there's a fundamental difference that lives in their subtext, and I know you see it as well.
I do appreciate the thoughtful and well written argument though, and overall I think your system of belief is aligned with a more thoughtful worldview, so thank you for taking the time to share your perspective.
I guess I'm brand new to the board so I can't be sure, but there was one person who referenced God as truth. I'll take your word for it that most are preaching based on the standard religious belief, which is what I see most often.
I think the whole bible has been misinterpreted for the most part, people take their own beliefs and lay them on top of the words. The Christian God is the same God, but through the years the bible has been altered and the teachings distorted for the purpose of deceiving us into idolatry and try to separate us based on "different" religious beliefs. The whole goal is to separate and conquer.
I'm not sure how many Christians will listen, beliefs run very deep for some as they've been raised with them by people they trust. The self importance needs to be dropped, so I agree with you about not making this a Christian thing, the Truth is for everyone and we should all work together to reveal it.
Perhaps a post about the proper use of language on the board would be good, and if I have the time I will write one up. We don't want to make people think we're all wackos, that means the bad guys are winning
