                                                                      1) Commonly Accepted Data:  Here's a rough estimate of common statistics on Earth's people who do or do not adhere to various religions:    Christianity 32%,  Islam 25%, Hinduism 15%, Buddhism 5%, Nonreligious 19%, and Other 4%.  I see myself in the other category.  Some break it down further between Protestants and Catholics, Shia and Sunni Muslims, Judaism, Chinese folk religions, Zen, tribal, liberals and conservatives, and so forth. Regardless, it only indicates what TRADITION one does or does not likely adhere to, NOT the full person or their convictions.   2) Definitions:  A  religion does NOT require  belief in or worship of a God or gods. It does not even require belief in the superna...

I consider the mind or a mind-like aspect to be ubiquitous (ever-pervading) throughout reality. This includes entities like stars being intelligent beings with a modicum of free will. That is, panpsychism. It comes from the Greek words pan (everything) and psych (soul or mind). See my video titled Could the Sun be Alive? OR Ancient Notion of Panpsychism. This view is not unique.   For instance, Gregory L. Matloff from New York's College of Technology's physics department concluded that panpsychism might emerge from philosophy to become a subdivision of observational astrophysics. That is, become an observational science.  And o utside of the dubious spacetime theory,  I subscribe wholesale to the established principles of electromagnetic, gravitational, and nuclear forces, and all principles of chemical reactions and particular behaviors of various elements, heat, motion, and kinetic energy, and their impact on star formation and so-called stellar evolution.   ...

                                        Yo. 1) Most Christ-believers in the U.S. cry for separation of Church and State, including a video maker who recently called Church/State unification idiotic and bad.  2) I sympathize with his concern that such systematic religion might crush individual personalities. 3) Also, his concern about the danger of it leading to a One World Government or New World Order.  4) Many worry that integration could allow governments to prohibit certain religions or 5) coerce everyone to believe and practice certain things. So, separation is allegedly crucial for religious freedom.  6) It's said that separation of Church and State is a fundamental principle of modern democracy.   Now this is not just a black and white issue. There are various grey areas.  That is, degrees of separation and integration instead of all or nothing. Respon...

                                                          I want as many to be saved as possible. So, I try to eliminate any unnecessary barriers that block one  from God.   Consider former Christian and now Atheist Vel who calls herself " Club Schadenfreude".  Besides her video with TV evangelist Ray Comfort, she and I bantered on WordPress. Her complaint was "The bible teaches Calvinist predestination. That is, this god already chose who it will save, then damns the rest through no fault of their own."  And "Your god has no interest in free will per your own bible, that states that this god has already chosen who it will allow to be a Christian."     First, some explain that the words predestinate and predestinated as used in the Bible simply mean that whatever path we chose, we would naturally arrive at the...

                                                                I shall start with discussing the use of logic in our everyday material world, then the use of logic for religion.  Now is trying to apply logic a bad idea? Is it always a good idea? Or does applying it strongly depend on specific circumstances of everyday life?  First, a simple definition of logic is, the science of correct reasoning. Also, a logical conclusion is one seen by rational analysis as inevitable or necessary due to an interrelation, connection, or sequence of facts. Therefore, some things do not require logical reasoning, because they are immediately obvious. For example, someone did not look where they were walking, so their head became acquainted with a metal pole. For some other things you cannot apply logic because you have zero information...
