Imagine a spiritual age, where the world never ends
June 12, 2011 at 4:14 pm
Lifes funny, At first I couldn’t imagine making any sense out of writing about imagination. It seems to be, I guess never under estimate your own imagination. I say atheist need open up to more to imagination and Religion can use some fresh imagination rather than: JOIN US!!! OR DIE FOREVER!!!
Imagination is the living agent of all human perception with both intent and effort. Your mind first produce a visual imagine, shortly afterward follows words . There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds, the quality flows by the gift of fantasy conceives in images from objective reality. Imagination asks desired questions, it creates and grows with exercise. Anyone is enough of an artist to draw from their imagination as for it’s the basic health of every man. Concept may be lower form of imagination, and imagination is a poor substitute for experience. Few people have the imagination for reality and logic and reason can die off quickly. Your knowledge has limits but your imagination dose not. Reason respects differences, and imagination has a perceptible likeness of things. It’s an act not of reason but an intuition, Imagination is the eye of the soul and the voice of the daring. If there is anything Godlike about God it is that. When he dares to go beyond his wildest dreams, he can imagine everything.
I can prove most everything I know was once imagined, it’s created in beauty, justice, and happiness. It’s the main source of value in the new economy and the supreme master of art as of life. You create your own universe as you go along. The stronger your imagination, the more expansive your universe becomes. If you forget your dreams of your universe, your Universe will cease to exist. When your will and the imagination are in conflict, it is the imagination that always wins.
Why be so serious, and imagine Christian our World will not END, it might for you.
Imagine our World is moving toward a spiritual age, where our joys will never end.

Since we're talking about imagination, one thing to know is that, what we create comes from our imagination, but not everything in our imagination exists or can in actuality. On the other hand, some entities do actually exist in reality while they are not in our imagination or in our minds. This later part is important for atheists to remember because in general they limit existence to their imaginations as in nothing that they cannot imagine can exist. Existence can be one of many things such as - existence in the mind, existence on the tongue, existence in writing, and existence in actuality. So, anything can exist in the first three categories but not in actuality. And this is part of the human imagination. But, of course, the most important one is the actual existence.

I hear you; most people once imagine the world was flat for 1500 years just because the bible told them so. The Viking lived in North America for 20 years a 1000 years ago until the Inuit kick them off. Sure Columbus came over and brought us more Christianity and slavery, looks like we skip out more important detail of human healthy existence. The pattern is human abuse things first, and then we suffering change it. Imagining when we think ahead for new ways of thinking and solution rather than falling back into the dwelling of ancient spiritual hard time.
Lead with imagination shortly followed by skepticism and science Or
Lead by heart shortly followed by mind.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

Imagine an age where everyone can use their heads and discard ancient beliefs. Imagine an age where long life, advanced technology and a bright future is in easy reach. Imagine an age where bible nuts don't knock on your fucking door early in the morning to spread bullshit. Imagine an age where religious wackos all over kept their delusions to themselves. Imagine an age where extremists don't run around with a Qu'ran in their hands, blowing people up and flying planes into buildings.
Imagine an age where we all just grew the fuck up!

I can imagine green growing on many planets . we just can't even imagine well enough on getting our foot planted down on another planet to find out yet.

Imagination is fine, just don't let it delude and overwhelm you. Not everything you imagine is sane and realistic.
Quote:James Randi:
Enjoy the fantasy, the fun, the stories
But make sure that there's a clear sharp line
Drawn on the floor
To do otherwise is to embrace madness

You're not exactly paving the way of knowledge are ya?
