Anyone who claims that what they believe is true because it exists outside the realm of measurement, cannot be proven false, and thus must be accepted as truth is an intellectually dishonest brainlet at best.

I've always seen through tactics like this, and the fast talking pseudo-intellectual fallacies, etc.

It aggravates me that other people don't readily recognize bullshit when it's in front of them.

Science asks people to observe reality and test theories for accuracy, abandoning views that cannot hold up to testing, and building a world based on what is proven to be real and what works. Science that has not been corrupted by political agendas is the pursuit of objective truth and the advancement of real knowledge.

Religion asks people to accept things as being true without any evidence, ability, or desire to test these beliefs, leading people to the inevitable outcome of believing things that aren't true because it feels better than admitting something they want to believe is false, which in turn creates huge portions of the population who are operating based on self-righteous falsehoods, and developing a pattern of behavior that doesn't push them toward critical thinking.

Religion and science are most definitely at odds. Science puts human beings in outer space, religion puts them on a burning pyre for noticing truths that threaten religious narratives and weaken their claims to absolute authority which are based on mythological lies.

I grew up around highly religious people, I learned very early in life that they aren't capable of considering the world through anything other than a religiously-based subjective lens, and they assume that their way of thinking is the way everyone else thinks.

Another user here is convinced that everyone is religious whether they believe they are or not, because she herself thinks that way and can't fathom that other people are not like her. She thinks she understands how everyone else thinks more than they understand themselves, because she's projecting how she thinks onto other people as if her own mindset is just default human consciousness. She is absolutely sure that you are religious, even if you aren't, because "everyone is religious even if they don't know it."

The stupidity is indescribable.

I don't feel like I have a greater purpose per-say. I just know I am part and parcel of the Lord. I am in my 30's. Starting from my mid-20's, I had a few near death experiences in which I felt the presence of the divine and it changed my whole life which is why I started to change my mind about the existence of God. I've had strange unexplainable experiences all throughout my life, but I always chocked it up to some kind of natural phenomenon I just don't know how to explain. I always thought there must be some kind of logical scientific explanation, I just don't know what, so I never gave it much thought. It wasn't until I went through some harrowing experiences that I changed my outlook on everything. It really put things into perspective about what is important.

The KJB is a Masonic gematria codex. It is not the word of God. Christianity is a slave religion, a religion for slaves, which imparts a slave morality. Elites aren't Christians. Notice how elites claim to be Christians or Jews, but in reality they worship the Old Ones. The important thing to understand is Christianity is the State religion of the Roman Empire designed to trick people into being obedient to the State. It's essentially Jewish-Roman-Paganism, except it's monotheistic. I have read and studied a lot of history and the occult, so there's no way I will just believe in Christianity, specifically Catholicism. If Catholicism was a holy religion, then they wouldn't have tried to kill everyone with even a slightly different interpretation. Catholicism is a government program.

I believe the Bhagavad-gita more than the KJB. I took a vedic studies class at a vedic tample taught by monks and learned sadacara. It is essentially the same as the teachings of Christ. The problem with the KJB is it speaks in allegories, metaphors, and symbols that are not always easy to understand right away. It's not always clear what it means. This is because the KJB is gematria and one must join a Lodge or Mystery Cult/Secret Society and become initiated into the different Masonic degrees to decode the meanings in the Bible (or spend a huge amount of time studying history, theology, mythology, and the occult to understand the underlying meanings. You can read an original Greek translation or a Gnostic text, then it is clearer.

The Bhagavad-gita (english translation), on the other hand, states things very plainly. There is no a mystery or any confusion about what is being said. The original sanskrit is complex (meaning there are multiple layers to a single passage, but in English, we don't get into those layers. Sanskrit, by the way, has resonate properties in the language which raises your vibrations when you speak it. Even reading Puranas and Vedas in Sanskrit, even if you don't know what they mean, has therapeutic properties.

You cannot prove God with science. They are not in the same realm. For me personally, it's not like here is some religion with a bunch of rules and I have to make a gamble and just choose to follow it and hope it's real and hope I'm right, and just trust it with no proof, AKA faith. No, I've had experiences which prove to me there is more than meets the eye. The question is what is it, how do you go about learning what it is, and how do you worship it, or guard against it? Religious texts can help with that, but also so can shamanism. You can hear it from the horse's mouth so to speak.

Space, time, and matter are how we perceive the universe, not the universe itself.
