This is silly. If death and life are identical, which they are because all distinctions must collapse, then it is your bias that you are attaching any wants or needs to death or life.

That's encouraging but she's not identifying herself as an atheist.

The problem is if they don't realize it over time they accept what is put before them and it becomes part of their identity. And that's why you have the guys knocking at your door trying to get you to come to Church. So before you criticize this community you should look at what we have now. Its a mess.

True.

So you are saying tbey were like me. They sat in temple (in my case I am Jewish) and listened while remaining atheist.

Its healthy discussion. For everyone. Look i am equally as guilty as Leo. Although I never developed a God complex.

What is the alternative to heaven? If it exists there must be an opposite.

The problem you run into with your theory is that everyone does not hate their ego. They are the ego. Ego is a state of consciousness. It is only when the ego is able to self reflect and thus go against the illusion of self that it is able to access a higher intelligence.

Your friends might just be attending Church every Sunday hoping they don't go to hell.

I think somewhere along the line something happened to Leo and he developed some type of God complex. My theory is this due to the overuse of psychedelics to achieve his goal of discovering Truth. Somewhere along the line it went awry.

What made Leo what he is, and what resonated with me is how alike we are. He just goes with stuff. And tells it precisely as it is. However the longer I am on this planet the more I realize it isn't just as simple as that. It is, I mean. But not everyone is at the same level. So we have to take that into account.

The problem is one can't afford to be casual here there are lives at stake.

I stated this in the other post about suicide. Leo is sloppy here on the forum. But I doubt he will be anymore.

There is no other way to have a reality without this distinction. .

I don't reveal it much. You do act like it but you have a young persona. Keep that.
