INTELLIgENCE/ NEED FOR SPIRITUALITY

[EDJ]

HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN HUMANS HAVIN' INTELLIgENCE(EVEN ENOUgH TO COMMUNICATE INTRICATE MESSAgES), AND THE NEED FOR SPIRITUALITY IN EACH HUMAN BEIN'(NO MATTER WHAT RACE, CULTURE, CREED, FAITH OR BELIEFS)?

WHY ARE WE LIKE THIS? YOU EVOLUTION THEORIST FOLLOWERS, HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THIS?

YOU ATHEIST, HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THIS?

Humans have the most advanced brains therfore we have all these complex abilities.

The need for spirituality is from the ability to think into the future. We can plan anything from trips when were 50 to college when were 18. But we cant plan what happens to us when we die. So we make up our best outcome in spirituallity how we feel fit.

TAOISM seems the most logical (for others ideas). To you its your God.

 

[EDJ]

SO YOU SAYIN' WE NEED SPIRITUALITY OR HAVE A NEED FOR IT CAUSE WE DON'T WANNA DIE AND KNOW WE ARE?

 

[Blight]

Thats how i see it.

the same as Indians saw guns as "fire sticks" or whatever. They prolly thought we were gods. how else can they explain it when theyd never dreamed of an item like a gun before. We had a power far superior to their weapons.

 

[EDJ]

I DON'T gET YOUR COMPARISON. HOW DO THESE TWO CORRELATE TO EACH OTHA?

 

[D-Boy]

i think that most people think that there must be some kind of higher power, because there's a lot of shit that can't be explained. but the more and more that science reveals, the more and more the myth of religion is removed. people cannot understand how one day, they can just exist, and think, and have a conscious. where did it come from? where will it go? these kinds of questions make people feel like there has to be something that put us here, and that we have a purpose in having consciousness. but i think that religion mainly came from superstition, and people saw it as a good way to a) control the masses b) promote peaceful ideals and c) keep the lower classes accepting of their status, because there's gonna be a greater reward in the afterlife or some bs. and i'm agnostic.

Humans explain occurances they cant fathom thru higher powers. Wheather its right in front of you (fire sticks) or in a stained glass window (angels) it all comes from not being able to pin down a definate answer. Same as what happens to dead people.

 

[EDJ]

SO WHY WOULD PEOPLE JUST MAKE SHIT UP?

 

[Blight]

We have imaginations. We need some reasoning why something happens.

BEFORE YOU ASK: Yes its a bi-product.

 

[EDJ]

REASONIN' IS NOT TO JUST MAKE SOMETHIN' UP. LOgIC IS BASED ON SOMETHIN'.

 

[Blight]

If your speakin of logic from scriptures, they were written by man. They are now mass produced by printing presses. weather its close to the original scriptures or lost a lot thru people fuckin it up like we both agree, in the process. It is handed down from so long ago, can you be certain that the same way Vikings had myths and shit isnt how someone came up with your religous beliefs?

Its all handed down from a human hand in the past. What if they were just trying to explain how they want to find an outcome to their own death. And it just caught on.

It would be logic based on the mind of a genius who is now resting where hoped to be and may not.

 

[EDJ]

SEE BLIgHT,
NOBODY WAS TALKIN' ABOUT THE BIBLE, BUT SINCE YOU FEEL THE NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT, WE WILL. YES, YOU CAN SAY THE SCRIPTURES WERE HANDED DOWN, TAMPERED WITH AND ALL THAT gOOD STUFF. BUT ONE THANg YOU CAN'T DENY IS ITS WIDESPREAD OF IT. WHY IS IT SO UNIVERSALLY KNOWN THAN N-E-OTHA BOOK? IT'S JUST MERE MAN MADE LOgIC RIgHT? WHY HAS IT SURPASSED THE TEST OF TIME EVEN THOUgH 80% OF SELF PROCLAIMED CHRISTIANS DON'T READ IT?

 

[Blight]

I just figured you meant logic as in your religious beliefs.

Where did most people migrate from after Africa? These historical countries had this religion.

HERES A FACT:
ARMENIA (my people) Was the first country to adopt Christianity as a religon.

So say it came from us and spread. When people migrate they dont abandon their beliefs. Skipping to the European empires times, they had Christian beliefs. they spread to here wiping out the natives beliefs or converting them. They converted slaves. They press to convert still. The same as Asian countries spread their religion thru their conquests. Theres so many christians who know the bible weahter they read it or not, because it came to America thru English settlers tryin to colonize.

 

[EDJ]

YEAH THEY KNOW THAT THERE IS SUCH THANg AS A BOOK CALLED "THE BIBLE" BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S ABOUT.

SO WHERE IS ARMENIA> AND HOW DO YOU KNOW YOUR COUNTRY FIRST ADAPTED CHRISTIANITY? WHAT IS CHRISTIANITY?

 

[Blight]

I really have to go to bed. Its like 4:40 am.

Armenia is next to Turkey and Iran and Azerbaijan. It used to be a southern country of Russia until they got to be independant. Its a long story over who conqured and etc... They had a Holocost there. Thats before the Nazis, and the reason my familly came to America. They have like hardly any land for crops.
I know they were first cause it is a historical fact.

 

[EDJ]

HISTORICAL FACT HUH? SHOW ME. LACE ME.

 

[Blight]

"In A.D. 301, Armenia converted to Christianity, becoming the world's first Christian state. Christianity provided Armenians with a national identity and consciousness, especially when Armenia was conquered and divided among regional powers. In the early thirteenth century, Armenia underwent a difficult period of Mongol rule, during which many Armenians were killed. Throughout the 1500s, the Ottoman Turks and Persians further ravaged Armenia with invasions."

From just one web site (http://members.tripod.com/~stelka/Armenia.html) which can tell you about us.

 

[EDJ]

301 A.D WAS WAY AFTER THE ROMANS. SO YOU MEAN ARMENIA WAS THE FIRST gOVERNMENT TO CONVERT TO CHRISTIANITY?
