Why hate Athiest?
RE: Why hate Athiest?
(March 10, 2013 at 11:45 pm)jstrodel Wrote: I don't think it is mean to rebuke people who advocate drug use. Consider the difference in consequences: one person is rebuked and feels sorry for a few minutes. Another person is led to believe that ecstasy use causes no problems, starts doing ecstasy, starts doing other drugs, at age 45 is a drug addict, is divorced and is homeless.

Regardless of what I feel about this rationalization, just a moment ago you were using the rationalization that it was okay to be harsh with becca because other people were harsh with you. Having it pointed out to you that this isn't adequate justification, you just change to a different story. (This behavior is common among Christian apologists who change their arguments more often than they do their underwear.) You change your facts, arguments, justifications, and explanations at whim; you equivocate, move the goal posts, anything you need to do to justify believing that what you do is right. This is simply another side of casuistry which most of Christianity swore off in the 18th century. Not you however. Whatever works. Your morality, your personal guide to what you should and shouldn't do, doesn't come from the God of Christianity; your god is yourself, and you'll say, do, or think anything necessary to preserve your image of yourself as blameless.

You are the one here who isn't "saved." In Buddhist meditational practice they refer to what are known as "makyo," or illusions; they are the unusual experiences and sensations that can accompany meditation which people may "fixate" on as an important part of meditation. (From Wikipedia, "figurative reference to the kind of self-delusion that results from clinging to an experience and making a conceptual “nest” out of it for oneself.") These "makyo" or distracting sensations and experiences are seen as an impediment to actual spiritual growth and advancement in one's meditation practice. You have become distracted by the "makyo" of Christianity, mistaking the "wonders" for the substance of walking in Christ. And it's keeping you stuck, I imagine. But then, getting hung up on superficial alterations in your state of consciousness is nothing new with you, is it?

I could care less if you use the 'F' word. I'm not who you (apparently) think I am. But then, that's hardly surprising, as nobody is who you think they are: you are lost inside a fantasy world of your own creation, which has no relation whatsoever to the real world. Swear, don't swear, I do not care.
