Theory of god
by azor ini have noticed that theists have an aversion to the word theory.
as it is mostly attached to evolution, and they have a deep misunderstanding of what the word means.. i'm probably botching the following statement but the general idea is as follows.
it has been said that whoever sets the parameters of the battle or frames the argument wins.

Good and evil are labels we as humans put on things so these terms are intricately woven into the psyche by indoctrination and varies from person to person, cultures, and religious indoctrination.
We also stuff what we consider as evil about ourselves into our psychological 'shadow' of denial and project it on to those that have a psychological hook we can hang it on. Learning to come to terms with one's own shadow leads to many benefits and withdrawal of one's projections and a different viewpoint not clouded with all kinds of prejudice.

The word belief has several meanings depending on context. If we are a predominately black and white thinker then it can only have one or two meanings at most because shades of gray are confusing to a b&w type.
So get those neurons firing and form new circuits connections by letting go of one size fits all black and white either this or that with no inbetweenness allowed thinking.

it has been boarded up and closed off because of various paranormal reports regarding the room.

Well I think he used the scientific method best he could being the subject he examined is rather illusive to scientific examination with the technology avalible at the time. Today's technology offers a much deeper look and I don't think much of what Jung wrote has been dis proven. Freud his adoptive father was mush more a materialist and so was apposed to Jung's exploration into the occult. -

Why people don't believe in God
by pressman indo you want to know why i think people don't believe in god?
well i believe people don't want to believe in god because they are scared.
they know that if they finally do gorge the confidence to believe in him, he might discipline them for their skepticism.

A punishing Deity that feels slighted over disbelief in his existence makes no logical sense as the feelings we experience as humans are transfered to the Deity. -

Could be mass hallucination? Maybe Jung's ideas on the paranormal might shed some light on the subject:

I see now why religious fundamentalism causes one's brain to shrink from lack of proper use as one lives his life by the precepts of faith and blindly follows a ridged set of rules based on the the whims of some fantasy figure Deity.
Through lack of use and faulty reasoning the brain shrinks and this topic is proof I think of a loose it or use it with regards to the brains ability to process information though unused circuitry due to religious prejudice.
To increase brain power one must resist tendency for every thing to become routine so that we change things up do things differently and get out of the automatic pilot while we live our life and religious fundamentalism with it's routine propaganda makes life remarkable simple and boring a snooze feast of sermons about how to life life in uniformity.
