Back to this, I never thought anyone should "Burn in eternal flame" that's just aweful. Even serial killers shouldn't be succumbed to a fate such as that, and I always thought that the Christian God was immature in this sense, as well as in a few other instances. Tho, I dont mean to judge. Just my observation

this is so true it is the one reason i started to search the deeper meanings behind the christianity and the whole system. and after some time I reached the the conclusion that the humans themselves are only ones that are opposing themselves.and so i realized that the eternal flame stuff means that basically you, prevent yourself from going forward at all at that point which can be kinda described as being in a flame i guess though i personally call it sleeping in the fire as you never really realize you are in that position in the first place. and you dont realize it because your flesh has suppressed the spirit  so the spirit is the one who is actually suffering there 

 

I think the eternal suffering and stuff comes from there though just my own observation. and it is eternal as long as you dont realize in what situation you're in because the only one who can help you moving forward is yourself. though if you realize what is going on  you can start moving forward and that way grow closer to your spirit and go forward.

 

I personally believe that the goal of our existence not as humans or spirits but as beings is to move forward and progress until we one day become the gods of our own people and make them go through the same process and basically infinitely expanding our existence and the universe with it

Sure, so basically, when I say that it's about Death, it's more like immersing yourself in the energies of Death. Most people have an innate fear of dying, very deeply held..we do not fear Death but seek to understand it's trans-formative nature. Considering even in the Tarot Deck the Death card does not necessarily mean physical Death. 
Instead the card, and Death itself as a whole represents as stated above; change. These energies pulls us out of stagnation and encourages us to grow. 

We see Death as a guide and a teacher. Imagine what life would be like if people could be more flexible in the face of change. It's a freedom more or less from fear and most anxieties about life and the world. Death teaches us that eventually, everything in this world is going to be taken away. It's not punishment, it's simply the nature of things.
Honestly, the knowledge that comes from this lesson is what the Buddhists would call "non-attachment." 
It's not apathy by any means, instead it's a deeper appreciation for all of the things that you have, without any of the emotional baggage that comes from worrying about when or if you won't have them anymore.
Delving into this, touching Death, gives a person a more profound appreciation for life. Less encumbered by fear. And it can be tough, no doubt, but everyone is going to die, but most people struggle to hide from this fact; and somehow in that struggle most people forget how to even live at all.

Basically, this belief system is centred around balance in life, and understanding the flow of the world, it's energy give and take, cycles and rebirth.

There are two ways with Death himself that I've seen people take this. Some see Death as a metaphorical figure, and just use the teachings and perhaps his depictions as a guide. Then there are those like myself, who not only use the teachings, but do believe that creatures of Death and the Grim Reaper himself does exist and worship him as a God.

 

There is more to it, and especially the rituals that are performed are certainly not for the faint of heart, that seeks to reproduce the beneficial effects of near-death experiences and more. I doubt you'd want to go much further, but if it keeps peaking your interest, PM me and I will be happy to not only speak with you about it, but refer you to some good literature on the subject.

 

that is really interesting. I personally view the death as just another step going forward. More precisely i think the death is the final solution where your flesh and spirit have a chance to be united and will unless you actively work against it. I think it is because the Christ underwent the process on uniting every one who was,  is and will be into himself that way giving us the link and a easy way to  reconnect ourselves after death and unite. though that is just the beginning.of the process. I think that the goal for us is to unite everyone and everything  into ourselves and  become one yet still separate. allowing us to repeat the process again but this time as gods ourselves.

I never understood this. I was Athiest myself at one point but only because I studied everything without any mainstream religion that called to me. But just not seeing a reason to.... I'm not judging this, I try to see everything from multiple viewpoints, yet I never understood the logic, "It doesn't matter." Do explain, if you don't mind that is.

Back to this, I never thought anyone should "Burn in eternal flame" that's just aweful.

I'm not religious myself, but my mom is, so I shall quote her: "Any man who doesn't love a woman (or vice versa), any person that has disobeyed the Ten Commandments, anyone who has ever sinned and not repented, anyone who has not converted and believes in Jesus and God, will burn in Hell for all eternity. Any impurities cannot be allowed into a purely hallowed place that is Heaven."

Now, this does somewhat make sense. If there is a dictator, and if there is someone who opposes said dictator, then they will be banished or killed. To put it into another perspective, imagine if there was a "Heaven on Earth". You wouldn't expect any killers to be allowed in, right? Nope, they would be barred from entering.

But as for not allowing homosexuals (etc.) in? Now, I *understand, two women together, two men together, a man with a non-binary person (etc. etc.) isn't what nature/God wants, but... seriously?

(*I do not agree with it, but on a scientific level, I can see where it is coming from. Do I still agree with it? No.)

Also, God supposedly gave us choice: either to worship Him and devote your life to Him, or burn in Hell for all eternity. That isn't so much of a choice, in my opinion. Besides, living eternally - even in a hallowed place - almost seems like Hell to me, just without the whole supposed eternal pain part.

I know this is a little off topic, but its funny you say that cause there's a creepy posta that kinda plays around with that idea. Getting back on track now, even if you believe these religious texts were indeed inspired/"commissioned" by a divine being, they were still handled by humans for years. Humans whom have had more than plenty of chances/motives to "tweak" these words here and there to suet their own ends, so bare that in mind.

Fair point.

I myself am sort of an atheist. "Sort of" because even though I believe there is no God, I kind of do not care. (Unless someone tries to force their beliefs onto me...)

I prefer reincarnation.

If some immature bastard won't let me into his "paradise" because I'm bi and don't believe in him, he can shove it up his backside (no offense)

Christianity never worked for me, and I was not happy being forced to believe in something I don't, and being told by my own parents that I'm a freak for not following His mold.

My mother stilll denies that she has any gay children.

And I already told her. Several times.

Any god that wants that for their creations is a total bastard who acts more controlling than they out to. Just saying.

What's there to feel guilty about? As long as you're a good person, than why should your beliefs make you feel guilt?

I emphasise with you. My mother is very controlling, and I know that if I ever came out to her as pansexual and/or non-binary, that she would disown me. She has said several times that she hates gay/bi/pan people, as it is apparently not what God wants. She's always talking about the deception and the corruption in the world (such as the legalisation of gay marriage in several countries)... ._.

Sorry to hear about that. First time I read this I was so out of it from lack of sleep I missed half of what you wrote. I didn't realize you were having such a bad time of it. 

[Thuja 3,658]

I believe in many things but I mostly describe myself as a pagan even though I don't really identify with any one particular pantheon or faith.  I've noticed myself being pulled to Satanism lately, don't know why?  I think it would make for a healthy spirit to study or at least read up on as many faiths as possible.  Maybe take something from one or another and make it into something that keeps you balanced spiritually.  I'm also half Indigenous so I feel that that's a big part of me as well, even though I don't really look Indigenous(white af right here...) I'm still trying to learn about that part of me too but at least I know what my spirit name is so that's pretty big for me.  

[DJ_Bonebraker 183]

I am a Christian.  I'm also openly & unashamedly bi-gender & bisexual (but with a definite preferance for women).  Needless to say this is not an easy path to walk, but I walk it because I believe it to be the truth, and that part of the purpose God has for me here is to get out the work that He does not, in fact, hate gays & that most of the bile that people who claim to follow him is being taken out of historical & social context (I discovered this as part of the process of finally coming to terms with being bi-gender & very rarely attracted to guys, which involved a lot of historical & anthropological research into the contemporary cultures of the middle east & Mediterranean areas at the times both the old & new testaments were written).  

Part of the reason why I didn't just abandon my faith was because I know it's ultimately true, even if certain people pervert it beyond belief, due to the fact that God directly intervened to stop me from killing myself some 16 years ago, so if He didn't exist, I wouldn't either right now.  I can understand why some people would be skeptical or dismissive of my reasons, and I respect that, nor will I judge anyone else or try to force my beliefs on them:  First of all, one of Jesus' direct commandments says that we are not to judge, because only God is worthy to do so, and secondly, you have to believe in your heart as well as confess with your mouth that Jesus is the savior to be saved, and you can't accomplish the first part by coercion, so it's pointless to even try...

I also personally believe that Biblical Literal-ism, which is unfortunately widespread these days, particularly among the more fundamentalist denominations, is not only the wrong approach in certain cases (such as the whole creation story in Genesis, which if looked at from an allegorical perspective, actually checks out with the current model for how the universe came into existence, right up to following the general order in which life evolved), and is downright dangerous if done at all without studying the historical & contemporary cultural contexts in which the Bible was written.  I mean I had a guy I know at work trying to claim that the world is actually flat, based on a hyper-literal interpretation of a few verses, which were obviously meant to be taken figuratively, based on the context, and even using a hyper-literal interpretation to come to the conclusion that the earth is flat (despite all the scientific evidence) is pushing it....

@Thuja:  I tend to agree with you on the whole "at least learning about many different faiths" thing:  I actually came to my own beliefs at around the age of 13 after studying everything from ancient Greek/Roman polytheism to Buddhism (or at least what materials were available where I live) & concluded that Christianity, absent of all the ritualistic stuff that various churches added onto it over the years, made the most sense of all of them (although Buddhism came in as a fairly close second, but certain aspects of it just didn't jive with me).  I've since had many interesting and even enlightening conversations with practicing Buddhists of various sects (I actually ran into a Buddhist Nun in Virginia who was surprised that I recognized who Kannon/Guanyin was), Hindus, and even Japanese Shinto priests, and many times, the extra perspective I gained by discussing matters of faith with them helped me understand aspects of my own better.  Hell, the regular gaming crew I hung out with when I was stationed in Virginia was a pretty mixed bag, religion-wise:  We had two Christians (including one who was an ex-Satanist), a Wiccan, a Druid and an Agnostic.

Man, I wish I knew my name. I've meditated on it to no end. I even ended up learning how to get to the Akashic Records Hall, and I COULDN'T READ THE NAME ON MY BOOK!!!!!!! Why??? All I know is that it may have an "X" in it, but I'm not sure

Well for me, I had a traditional healer give me my name.  I think that was the best thing I've done in years to be honest.  She came to visit my rez when I was living there so it seemed like a good idea at the time.  She also told me my spirit colours so that made me pretty happy too!

I find your experience quite interesting. I'd say that's pretty good evidence that a god(s), divine beings, or spirit beings exist. I once spoke to an angel, and also to a proclaimed angelkin, who had the soul of an angel. Their vibration was crazy high. Apparently they have pure white aura. I just have occasional flashes of white, but this was solid white, strangest thing I ever did see

Well, for most of my early formative years, my parents were anti-religious.  Not to say they didn't believe in God:  My mom still believed in God, despite years of abuse by the Catholic Church, but she no longer trusted organized religion, and my dad was more of a general Theist:  he believed that all the different religions in the world were just different aspects of the true creator god, but were mostly just excuses for rich & powerful people to control and/or kill other people, so he didn't trust organized religion either (my one uncle still believes that way).  However, about the same time as my own spiritual journey, which started when I had an epiphany when I declared to this kind, elderly Mennonite woman (who passed away not all that long ago in her mid-90's) that I wasn't "one of those self-righteous hypocrites who go to church" only to immediately realize that I was being self-righteous about not following any organized religions and therefore, was a hypocrite as well.  This same Mennonite lady also helped renew my mom's faith, and my brother ended up becoming a Christian not long after I did, and long story short, by the time both my brother & I graduated high school, my dad converted as well (after doing pretty much what I did)... 

So I guess you could say that I was in a rather unique situation growing up, particularly since I didn't have anyone trying to force any kind of religious beliefs on me.  Of course, this is also why I don't trust blind faith (of any kind:  I have an atheist friend who is a strong atheist who agrees with me on the point of not trusting anyone who is at either a 1 or 7 on the Dawkins Scale, since people who are that adamantly sure that god(s) exist or don't exist is likely to be very closed-minded and/or extremist), and try to keep a hawk-like eye on established religious institutions.  Heck, the main reason I chose & stick with the church I joined is because it's about as decentralized & dogma-free as an established religion can get... My dad even has gone so far as to point out that, aside from not being atheist (for obvious reasons), the way our church is structured is about as close to a working version of Marx's ideal communist society as you're going to find in real life...

It's just how things are done in my culture, they are special people that can do this sort of thing.  It's pretty much their job in the tribe to do so, you know?  These people are meant to guide us along our own paths whether it be spiritually or not.  Also, my people don't believe in the Akashic Records so there really isn't any faux pas in someone else giving you your spirit name and colours.  Some spirits are ancient while others are young,they are very weak or they are very strong.  I believe that there is a spirit realm and our plane of existence, spirits inhabit our bodies and when we die, they return to the spirit realm to embark on a journey but they always come back to this plane.  Healers are more in touch with the spirit realm and they know a lot more about the people they help than those actually getting the help realize.  They are meant to guide us along our individual paths and help heal our wounds to the best of their abilities, whether they be physical or spiritual, it really depends on the person they're seeing.

I'm technically supposed to be a strong healer, but I never know how to act around people, so it's kinda useless... Once I filled the room with positive energy by accident, but only because I felt a bunch of energy I didn't like, some guys were being racist to a girl I knew. I felt her energy, and she seemed uncomfortable, so I said something, released a bunch of positive energy, and she later thanked me for it. This was early on in my journey tho, so I didn't even know that's what I did until later, but I can't do that anymore. I can't just feel people like that. I mean, I can, but I guess I don't know what to do about it? I just have some social issues, people aren't my forte right now...
