Looks like he's been banned. I wonder why, I haven't seen Goldie say anything too obnoxiously ban-worthy.

Do you interpret it that way?

A real Christian is a person who has taken Jesus into their heart as their Savior. You don't need much more than that.

Ok. Well then all matter is moving. I'm still confused about this post and why it's in the religion forum.

what do you mean by "animated"?

You do seem a little obsessed castin. Not as much as some others.

I think that souls are molded and organized by something akin to morphic fields.

You can also call them archetypes, that are then individuized when the life spark(prana) is added to the morphic field. Not all morphic fields have the life spark, such as the morphic fields for individual atoms or molecules. 

Morphic fields can exist within other fields, such as an individual ant's field exists within it's community's field. This is also called "holons". Things can exist as a part of the whole, and yet be individuals at the same time. 

God is the morphic field which contains all other fields within itself.

Awe, Goldie is embarrassed about how much time he spends"debating" with theists about a God he doesnt believe in. You are hilarious!

Of course it is obvious, like it is obvious you do. We ALL can see how much time everyone spends on here. Including you, dummy. Who spends at least TWICE the amount of time here, comparing our forum posts. 

No need to assume, it is obvious.

You know, i couldn't imagine spending hours every day arguing with people over whether something like Flat Earth or Unicorns exist. Weird.

lol...really?

Where I come from, no one talks about religion. I only see it in the forums.

Nothing. But spending hours every day on a religion forum is more than mere "interest".

You are in denial, poor thing.

You absolutely seem obsessed with it. Why?

The OT was written as a veiled attempt at astrotheology.

How much time every day do you devote to studying and thinking about religion?

I guess I wouldn't know, i was raised in the Pacific Northwest, where religion isn't an issue. A real atheist heaven here.

Are you so affected by it that you have become obsessed with it?

All the atheists I know personally don't care a bit about religion. But ddo/dart atheists seem to be obsessed with it. Why?

Living matter has the life force, prana. Nonliving matter doesn't.

I agree. 

It is only evidence for me.

Boring.

I believe in God. I don't know what the Truth is, whatever that means.

Well I won't trade with you, mine's just weird, not hard

lol

NOW I have reason. Before, none. 

What are your "good reasons" to believe in God, from an atheist's point of view?

I was an atheist for 37 years, i can assure you you are way off base. I simply had no reason to believe. I didn't even think about it.

Try living my life for a few weeks, and you would understand the off the wall stuff. I would have thought the stuff I say is off the wall a decade ago. 

Boring.

Atheism isn't denial. It is simply lack of belief.

Are our bodies and brains a limiting device to filter out aspects of awareness? 

Did God do this to give us the experience of not knowing everything?

The majority of the world knows what the purpose is? Are you sure about that?

What is this purpose that everyone knows?

Atheists are no different from anyone else. 

Even though I'm not an atheist, there still may be no ultimate meaning to this existence. Although that though may just be a holdover from my atheist days. 

Materialist Darwinists don't own the word "evolution". Things evolve. Thus evolution. Duh.

Obviously I do, genius.

Apparently, Goldie is a hypocrite.

I will use labels when they fit

Thanks

Yes, I agree

And then there are those of us who are "Black Hole Deniers".

There is a huge difference. Materialists who believe in Neo-Darwinism and those who don't make up large percentages of the population. There is a real divide. There isn't a real divide between those who believe in gravity and those who don't. You have a few flat Earthers who don't believe in gravity,and that's about it. There is no controversy there.  

What would you prefer to be called? Evolutionists? Modern Synthesists? Neo-Darwinists? I can't call you evolutionists, that encompasses all evolutionary beliefs.

You can ask Bish to put this thread in the science forum, if it is bothering you that much.

I like calling you guys Darwinists. It differentiates you from IDers,Orthogenesists,and theistic evolutionists,all who believe in evolution.

Yes.

The Modern Synthesis is a scientific theory, my beliefs are not. 

Darwinists are those who believe in naturalistic evolution.

I just told you it is my religious belief, not a scientific one. 

You are wrong. I believe in evolution. Orthogenesis. It is my religious belief, thus the religion forum. I believe much of evolution happens in saltation.

I think my motives are clear.
