Why all this fear mongering. If you want to fight, fight for what you are for and not for what you are against. 

Why shouldn’t I fight against stupidity (a virus)? They can vote and impact society just like everyone else, and I refuse to live unhappily for the rest of my life because of that.

They have been saying that for thousands of years. Where is Jesus?

It was a double-edged joke, nevermind

Yes, but none of that is true. Anyone can make a claim about God, but that doesn't mean it is true. No one should believe in anything without good reasons.

I feel like the only real way for churches and religions (in Europe or the West) to survive is to go all in on psychedelics and such.

I disagree. Society is too diverse for that, especially as we are increasingly globalizing. There will always be people who are content being religious.

Religion can be an important service for society in that its an avenue for community and development for stage red people. So don't dismiss it so readily. I don't have any relevant data to prove my point but I believe that we would have more mafia and ghetto-isms without religion.

I remember when they said Jesus would come back in 2020, and that the rapture would apparently happen then.

More power to you. I'll continue to put my energy and awareness on where I want it and what serves me; not on dead matter.

@Spiritual Warfare Its 100 percent true. The fact that the word of Jesus is in every country means God put it in every country. The problem is the stories and rules they made around the teachings.

You are enganging in the same catastrophistic trap they are falling into. That's the communality that I found perfect for craking a joke

That is not true; people who live without religion are more moral towards other human beings, and it has been proven. Just look at the Middle East, for example; they are killing each other and harboring hatred towards everyone else who does not believe as they do.

Exactly

@Spiritual Warfare Dont put the religion to the teacher. Jesus wasnt a Christian, they created a religion around Jesus. Its like if Sadhguru died and they created a religion around him without any input from him. Its slander. But they are still doing what Jesus taught to do because you are supposed to go around telling people God is real because we are literally in Heaven.

Christianity didnt exist to Jesus. They use it to manipulate people.

The whole concept of religion is madness and should be banned. I don’t understand why some members of this forum think we should respect it.

People with the same religion more easily accept and love each other.

But still, you are talking about fundamentalist religious people.

See the world is like a pendulum: between progress and regression, between conservative and liberal, between tradition and securalism. This pendulum is constantly dancing in microcycles and macrocycles. Now we are seeing a local regression, I grant you that, but the overall tendency of humanity to evolution is unstopable.

Trump if anything will show us the importance of bullet proofing democracy. Religious nationalism will teach us the profound limitations of fundamentalist religion and their injected agenda through idelogical individuals. Conservatives movements in Europe and over the world will put a momentary break on never-ending expansion and progress at all cost, allowing as to breathe and let the dust settle down.

Earth, the world and its ecosystem is an extremely complex and self-intelligent organism. It will get through this and balance itself by feedback mechanisms. Don't you worry you can sleep at peace tonight.

Religions are dying in many countries in Europe. Churches are empty.

Nothing has power over you unless you give it. How you give it power is by focusing on it and placing your attention there. Getting emotionally charged over particular circumstances. It arose, you charged it, and now you made it come alive. It's the same as me replying to your post. It's not a big deal that I responded, but I'm giving you an example. If I had left this post alone and replied to another thread, this post would be dead to me just like all the other threads from years ago that are still in the database of the forum. 

Look back at all the other things that arise within your awareness in the past that are no longer there, no longer on your mind, no longer making you emotionally charged; they went right back from whence they came.
