OpenBook Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 I really don't know what (if anything) will happen to me after I die. I have enough issues to handle in this lifetime to be worrying about the next one too. My religious beliefs (in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, Emmanuel, who came to save us all from ourselves) are completely based on hope - that He is my best, and only, hope for a shot at living a rich, full life ... and He and the Bible are the best guides of how to conduct myself while I'm here. What happens after that, is not my area.
Disillusioned Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 I don't need religion. I'm already good.
Truthseeker-John Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Albert believed in the God of Spinoza. Thanks for the link... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baruch_Spinoza#Panentheist.2C_pantheist.2C_or_atheist.3F "Martial Guéroult suggested the term "Panentheism", rather than "Pantheism" to describe Spinoza’s view of the relation between God and the world. The world is not God, but it is, in a strong sense, "in" God. Not only do finite things have God as their cause; they cannot be conceived without God.[27] In other words, the world is a subset of God."
Truthseeker-John Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) I don't need religion. I'm already good. And sometimes Religion (with it's complicated and conflicting doctrines) can make people bad while they think they are being good. Edited January 30, 2011 by Truthseeker-John

pureinheart Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 I don't need religion. I'm already good. "Religion" is man-made...sooo, therefore see God/Jesus/Holy Spirit as my final authority...
