A Religion for the Non Religious

[Catholic_Lady]

i did read it.  All of it.  I could write volumes of thoughts, experiences, and questions on this work.

But what is there to really say?  This calls out to truly look at your self and think, look, understand......

He put into words (modern words) what others before have tried to do but instead accicently made religions.

Why? Because few want to evolve... it's scary and it can really bust the ego.  Easier to take on someone else's step 4 moment and proclaim it as the truth because looking for your own may/will break you.

I have felt those "whoa" moments in my life.  I could not stay in that moment and live in society.  If only i had more skill at living off the land....to this day I still wish for that moment in my life.

you might tell me that God (of the Bible) can give me this but the one truth I do know is that in my particular set of circumstance that is not the case. It might be in yours . That's not for me to judge.

This is the mountain that each human stands before.  Is heaven choosing to clear the fog and hell choosing not to??  Maybe this is what the religions are supposed to be teaching but sadly most fail miserably due to the scared monkeys in our brains.

My thoughts to your thoughts.

I like that a lot of the stuff he talked about can apply to both theists and non theists alike.

For example, when he talked about the animals in our brains, I always described that as temptation. The fog is sin. The purple blob is God.

It's the same basic principles/ideas, just with different titles.
