The universe is composed of junkyard, disorganized matter and energy, and order; organized matter and energy. Form “without form, and void,” God organized to be form, and place.
I wouldnt say disorganized or organized. I would say balanced or imbalanced energy.

I claimed I do not believe in a logical world. I claimed that if this world is logical, it is not human logic as we know it. I claimed it may be logical in a way we are unaware of,and do not and possibly cannot understand.

How high can you jump? What does gravity have to say about that?

You will have to prove you can defeat gravity.

There are limits. If only in these bodies, in this realm.

I believe some things are predetermined,and some things arent. 

Basic things we do follow zipfs law, for instance (a ton of thigs we do,and that happen in the universrse follow this law, like city population sizes, word frequency,and formation of galaxies etc) and i think, everything follows math laws. Why?

I have usually felt God was a He, and benevolent. I may be biased towards a male God as i was raised in a predominantly Christian American culture, and the benevolence may be wishful thinking. My beliefs are based on my personal experiences, which may be hallucinations, which I know I have had in the past. I am comfortable at this time with not knowing who God is, who is a comfort to me. That's enough for me at this time.

astrotheology
I was playing with google sky and noticed the Southern Cross is at the base of the milky way. I was wondering if this has any aspect in astrotheology/mythology that anyone knows about. It seems pretty significant to me and would have been noticed. Not sure if it can be seen in northern hemisphere at certain times of the year?

That is not true. There are several of us theists who are NOT in "religious groups". We are undefinable. Maybe more even than any single group except maybe Christians.

But you like to generalize, so you can call us the "non group group" ok?

There is fake art. Which is purposefully fraudulent art. For instance, I've seen sales for "paintings" which are just pictures using filters,and being passed off as real. That's totally fake. It is the intention .

@bmdrocks21
Wages are 15 plus an hour here at places like McDonalds and retail stores. A lot of these places are also now offering benefits.  Looks like a living wage to me.  No one wants these jobs.

My bf supported us (five people) on 15 dollars an hour (or less) for a long time ( I have a very small income of my own). It's all about frugality.  He even  saved enough for a house down payment, owns two vehicles (one is his work truck, a piece but it works) and has saved again another decent amount since the down payment. Our house is small but nice and we keep it and our moderately sized yard nice. I garden now for some of our food, compost for free fertilizer (and it's organic of course). Our phones are five years old. Our computer is older. We wear out things till they break and only then do we buy new ones. I only have to pay 350 for groceries per month for 4 people (one is out on his own now). I have a large pantry and two freezers, both which I got for free. So I only ever shop sales. Smoking is my one expensive luxury. Frugality. It's hard to believe people complain about minimum wage type incomes. I was poor growing up, but my mother was anything but frugal. I do everything the opposite of what she does, and I live well on a small income. I don't throw away anything that is usable still. I am a bit of a hoarder, but very well organized.

Biden Admin halts deportations of all illegals except criminals. A bunch of new workers for the staffing shortages? Am I missing something? It seems like a good thing to me.

It is a slippery slope. 

Vaccines have been forced on children for decades,and few peopel have ever protested this. But now it's "grown ups" who are being coerced, if not forced. So. Im not sure. I would get my kids vaxed for polio etc. without their concent. Is this right? I think it is. Is it ok to coerce/force adults if it is for the "good of society"? Maybe not. But maybe yes. I don't know,and Ive thought about it quite a bit.

I've enjoyed learning to cook, painting, sculpting,and I do a lot of research on various topics. But I also feel like a drag on society and my family. And I have gotten increasingly bored and unfulfilled. My bf is like you, he cant even take a week vacation without getting irritable and wanting to get back to work.

I'm going to start looking for a job, things are working out for me. Going to get off disability and be a productive member of society again. I can't wait. I was just waiting to hear from ss on requirements for the trial work period. 

I am hoping for a job at mcdonalds, as it is within walking distance from my house. They are paying pretty good right now. Everyone is, becasue of the staffing shortage. Things couldn't be better for me right now. It's been ten years since I worked.

43 percent approve of Biden. 43% say he is mentally sharp.
How do you explain the reason for 43% of Americans not being able to determine objective signs of mental decay and dysfunction?
Denial. Because they voted for him, now must stick behind him.

I think a lot of it is exaggerated though. He's not that bad off I dont think.

You believing something to be true for you doesn't mean it's true for anybody. And your lack of confidence doesn't need to transfer to anyone else.
Yeah maybe.

Start with the first one: can you confirm that whales have two nostrils now instead of blowholes? Over what amount of time did this change?


Well Google it and you will see it on pictures from the top. Blue whales at least. It changed since the last time I looked, which is within the last two years. Last time I looked at whale pictures when I was doing some evolution research. It was always one hole in my memory. Dolphins and whales were always my favorite animals, I have been looking and drawing them for decades. I don't think this is a memory issue. If It was the one thing, or five things, maybe a memory issue. But it isnow dozens of things, including one of my favorite songs that has changed entirely.

Reality changes on a weekly basis for me lately. I should be insane by now but I'm not. Somehow I and others keep skipping to new realities that are similar but different from the last. This week, whales now have nostrils instead of a normal single blowhole. Lst week, tigers now have white spots on their ears. China lost half of it's entire East Coast. Alaska keeps warping. The human skull used to be three fused bones, now it is double that. Eyes now have bones behind them where it used to just be muscle then the brain. Kidneys moved upwards under the ribcage and towards the front. Where do you land a kidney punch? It's supposed to be in the lower back. 22 million Americans have disappeared, and china and India have lost millions as well. In my original timeline, there were 350 million Americans at this time. Now there are less than 330 million. I have personally changed in many ways. The type of galaxy we live in is different even,and we have moved 27000 light years from the Sagitarrius arm to the orion spur. The list goes on. 

I should be scared, but I am not currently. I was at first.

What if you woke up one morning,and some facts were different from what you had previously known? what would you assume happened,and what would you then believe? The new fact, the old fact,or something else entirely? Such as that reality is mutable. 

This i s a serious question, I have reasons for asking it to a skeptic.

That may be your perception which is fine. But I'm no more confident about what I believe than anything else I know is true. Would you rather people just remain in the dark about God because they think they can't know anything? what purpose would that serve when all knowledge can be known? what reasons do you have to believe that we can't know anything? 
Because tomorrow might bring something different from what you thought you knew. We can never have enough information. Maybe God can though.
