Where would you say you identify religiously, if at all?
I believe in God. I don't follow man made religions. I am my own moral compass. That's about it.
What jews call yahweh is the devil. We don't have to agree on that. I don't feel like looking for sources now. I am busy gathering new music and don't want to ruin my own mood.
I do agree. I think our personal progress is a hard thing to measure and since we speak only on occasion, I feel it's a bit egotistic for you to aeert you're further. That being said, I did have to unblock you to continue this conversation. It was a shitty thing for me to do. We should continue speaking. How else will we widen our reality?
My confidence and ability to read people is off putting to most. I don't do that outside of the internet usually. On voat, I let it rip and see what happens.
It's fine. I have people blocked because our conversations always end up in arguments. I come here to read the news and have some fun with people. Not to have the same fight over and again. I do give them another chance every now and then.

On this point, you may enjoy Gnosticism, if you've never heard of it. Basically they believe what most call god is actually an evil being known as the demiurge - it created reality to keep mortals prisoners. It's a pretty dark philosophy and a lot of early Christians were gnostics and non-violent. Most Gnostic tribes were killed off, making them martyrs.
As for myself, I do t know what to label it. I stay away from identifying with a single religion. I'm trying to find the underlying truth in all of them. I guess I could be called an agnostic theist. I have also been practicing meditation and have received a few epiphanies through this.
Either way, it's been really nice talking with you, Smokey. I'm glad we got this chance.
