Basically when Christ left, he bestowed on us one paramount command.
Love God with all your hearts and love your neighbor as you love thyself
This command has got spiritual and physical aspects, loving God is spiritual while loving thy neighbor is physical
I have no problem fulfilling the spiritual part the problem is the physical part.
Its very hard to love thy neighbor, i try but i always fail miserably, this has got me all scared because if for instance i secretly hold a grudge on someone, heavens pearly gates are shut for me
Its very easy these days to sin, unlike the olden days. The enemy is working hard to align this world with his vision.
Its hard to make heaven in these hard conditions
Holding a grudge is like drinkinh poison to kill someone else. Wewe tu ndio unasuffer. Free them and frww yourself
You want to tell me a palestinian carpenter carried the brain for you?
Peter denied, i won’t… Let the record show that.
I hear it’s Peter who reads names at the pearly gates. how do you know he wasn’t rewarded with that post for his ability to deny anything. how do you know he wont tell you that he cant find your name? unless you bribe him with something. like your wife or something.
Religion is the bhangi of the masses
first, you should never hold a grudge on someone.
second, ask yoself what is causing the grudge…is it something you can avoid before it happens?
third, never think yoself fulfilled unless you look at your neighbour with an eye of LOVE.
remember how Christ loved everybody…even the ones who were opposing him.
To see how this can possibly be so, Hofstadter’s notion of a “strange loop” is helpful. His first example of such a thing is Bach’s “neverending” or “endlessly rising” canon, the “Canon per Tonos.” In this piece, with every repetition of the canon, the key rises a tone until it returns to its original key of C minor. The strange loop in question, then, is that it appears to have achieved the impossible feat of rising up and up and then, somehow, finding itself back where it started. In the work of Escher, a similar effect is achieved pictorially. In his famous lithograph, [I]Waterfall /I, for example, we see water falling further and further down in six steps only for it to return to its original position. In [I]Drawing Hands /I, Escher has created what Hofstadter calls a “two-step Strange Loop”: one hand is shown drawing another, which is in turn drawing the first.
Gödel’s own “strange loop” is a self-referential arithmetical statement: a statement of arithmetic that somehow manages to say something about itself. We have been used to self-referential statements in ordinary language for a long time, one famous example being the statement by Epimenides the Cretan, “All Cretans are liars.” Was he telling the truth or not? If he was, he can’t have been. More succinctly, think of the statement “This sentence is false.” If it is true, then it is false, and, if it is false, then it is true. This is what Hofstadter calls a “one-step Strange Loop.”
Religion is bullshit, but humans do need a believe system. So once you get rid of it, you should replace it with something hinged on science. reality, and rationality. Adopting some stoicism concepts helps.
Whoever says there is no God is an Idiot.
Practising religion is therapeutic
