REVISED REPLY to David Jeffrey Spetch
O "he who creates huge fusses over nothing, yet claims nothing can come from nothing
but must come from something, so why the huge fuss"
RE: I also think you need to understand more about Buddha the thief by watching this video
==============================================
A. Tim Minchin video
Thanks for posting your free speech videos, I think this is Great.
I like how you think and demand answers and accountability,
and I do accept and address until your grievances are resolved.
To add some humor, I hope you got the link below to TIM MINCHIN
who makes quite a poetic statement asking why isn't the natural world good enough without making religions?

B. I finally got your video to play where you talk about
how ALL religions STOLE natural or pre-existing morals
then tried to package and sell these as conditions to prove who is right or moral by affiliation.
1. YES this is consistent with the concept of
NATURAL or UNIVERSAL laws pre-existing
and then all man's laws and religions "attempt to express these laws"
YES YES YES on all counts
This can go well, as with our Constitutional laws that came from Natural Laws,
or can go horribly wrong as with the Slavery and laws that attempted to circumvent the issue of human inequality
until it could be resolved later.
2. YES so ALL laws and religions follow this process
AGREED
3. The issue is WHERE are we in our social development
given this trend? Given that ALL human laws are made up to try to REPRESENT
human nature and our relationship in the world with universal laws of science and energy,
with cause and effect, with truth and justice, and what brings peace healing and harmony to restore good heath
good faith relations and good will vs. what causes suffering war and hell on earth by ill will, fear and retribution out of unforgiveness
HOW do we get from these imperfect, "lie-based" foundations
to where we NEED to be with our understanding of the world and humanity?
You are still back at step 1 or 2
freaking out that something went wrong with those stages.
But David ALL people are going through these stages.
We learn by taking knowledge from the past,
and then just like you, trying to explain what is right or wrong that needs to be changed.
So we are all going through this.
You just don't trust religions because they have been messed up.
But David everyone every institution has taken laws or knowledge from the past
and then tried to build laws or systems based on that.
So EVERYTHING you complain about David is TRUE, this REALLY happened and continues to happen!
Welcome to the human race, David.
So GLAD you are here to join the rest of us
facing this same process that all humanity has been going through since the beginning.
YES to all that you say.
Now what is the best way to fix it, that's where we may not have the
same experience or solutions. You still want to abandon or abolish all religions thinking that will solve it.
But David getting rid of religion will not solve Forced Abortions in China.
or Destruction of the Rainforests by Corporations.
The Greed and lack of conflict resolution is greater than just religion.
Religions can help organize people across continents and around different issues
so that people can collaborate and invest resources into solving their own local problems.
Since these affiliations exist, why not use them for good.
Thanks David, of all the people questioning things on here,
your questions and issues actually come the closest to mine!
So I totally relate to you and do want to address all these issues
and grievances you have about religions until these are ALL CORRECTED.
AGREED!
Yours truly,
Emily
You claim to be agreeing while your actions in choice of words reveal otherwise as you attempt to try and undermine me as if you think I am blind. First of all, I am not religious and don't fall for such drivel.
I also think you need to understand more about Buddha the thief by watching this video
love
David Jeffrey Spetch
Ps. Be good, be strong!
I will mark my spot here where I left off and reply after work.
I will edit this msg so don't reply yet, I will post below.
Quickly though
1. not that you are blind but you are fearful
If that makes you biased, some of that will be reduced when you are less fearful
of the problems and more joyful about the solutions.
You will still be secular gentile, that part will not change.
But you won't be so afraid of religions, though they may still annoy you.
2. I will watch your video when I get home from work.
Please look up STORM by Tim Minchin. I think you will like that guy and how he says it!
if you can't find it on a previous thread (I posted it to BreezeWood on the "Syllogistic" thread)
I will add it below. Have to go, sorry, I do like this when we can catch each other directly.
That is cool and I am glad to know you come more from my perspective
so I can understand what you are saying better. Thanks David!

posted to BreezeWood on Syllogistic thread:
would it upset your world view to find there are forms of healing
prayer that have changed people lives by receiving forgiveness and letting go of
negativity that was holding back their growth, is that too disturbing to think there could be truth to christian teachings as positive and natural
here BreezeWood here's a peace offering enjoy:
Storm - Tim Minchin music and video
if you take Tim Minchin's statement on naturalist views without religion
and apply it back to spiritual healing then you can have both natural
knowledge and spiritual knowledge without conflict or competing with each other.
