Isn't God Awesome?

nvr:That was the extent of my comments to ZenNudist. We never developed the idea further, though I note with interest Alan's comments above about a "macro-universe".

At this stage of human scientific development its very much philosophical, which is where I would place pretty much most all of religious theology. However it is with creativity and imagination that scientists attack the frontiers of ignorance. Piece by piece the reality of the world about us comes into view, sometimes supporting and sometimes refuting the philosophies we've held.

While I regularly harp on about my personal experience with "God", I have to candidly confess that I have no way of scientifically reporting on it. I can philosophise and debate with others on the subject of "God" and the afterlife, but the honest answer is that we don't actually "know" many of the things that we'd like to believe. To each their own explanation of what their senses reveal to them - hopefully a little peer-review and consensus enables us to arrive at a fairly realistic picture.

MOUTHY NEEDS YOUR PRAYERS AND/OR SUPPORT

our dear mouthy is really having a tough time right now and needs our support and/or prayers.

as some of you may know, she's already lost 3 of her children in death and the other one to the borg.

in the last couple of days, she's had to worry about her 2 year old great-granddaughter being in the hospital with an illness and yesterday, her daughter had a suspicious mole removed from her back and was told there is a lump in her breast which has to be biopsied.

Dave:

Personally, I love the idea of the stuff of the universe exploding, contracting into a single point, and exploding again, forever. It's not a "belief", nor do I claim there's evidence for it, but it's a beautiful idea.

That would be consistent with the entrophy principle.

I once posited to ZenNudist (now posting as DreamerDreaming, I believe) that supposing during one of the earlier incarnations of the universe a species evolved sufficiently to escape the cataclysm. Perchance it might even eventually gain the ability to affect later universal incarnations and the evolutionary processes therein. This might potentially explain the incredibly early rise of sentient beings in this universe?

Might this species be described by said later sentient animals as "God"?

Plenty of supposition and a priori reasoning, but such is the realm of philosophy to give science a starting point to its hypothesise...

Religion And The ChurchesBoth Sides of The Argument.

religion and the churchesboth sides of the argument.what are the pros and cons about religion and the churches?

historically, the watch-.

tower society paints a dark often-negative perspective of religion and the churches.. true, they are responsible for wars, corruption and politicking, some individuals may.

LittleToe

There are only two sides, black and white?

Oh dear, and there I was thinking that the subject was far more complex

A question for the apologists:

Does God judge individuals or organisations?

I think a distinction needs to be drawn between a Christian (the individual, who may or may not attend some form of religious service) and a denomination (one particular orgnisation or branch of Christianity).

I openly acknowledge my belief that there are individual Christians in the midst of the JWs, having been one myself for over six months. I just reject the WTS's claim to being a Christian organisation. On that score lets just reverse the tables a minute. Do they see themselves as part of Christendom, or a distinct religion (rather than denomination)?

Ergo they separate themselves, aside from any thoughts that the mainstream denominations might offer...

Dozy:I've attended services with many denominations and would have no compuncture about attending other places of worship besides. While I might have a church of choice that I have tended to make my "home" that doesn't limit me from wider fellowship, nor does it limit others that go to the same church.

Further, did Christ actively disuade his disciples from praying to him?
