  1. Demonology. Why focus on the negative?

    Revelation deals mainly with future prophecy. The rebellion of fallen angels happened in the past. Many abandoned atheism after it went woke. Men chopping off their pee pees to compete in woman's sports. Who wants to be associated with that? Its like a joke being said 1,000 years ago. And people being so slow they still haven't got the punchline thousands of years later. If the sharp mind takes 5 seconds to comprehend something. The slow mind will take 50 to 500+ years to comprehend the same content. It should be ancient knowledge but people working night and day to live under a rock make that ancient knowledge into unobtainable knowledge. I've seen more than a few attempts to blame Trump for everything bad in the world. There is no shortage of that out there. Well, like I said. I don't discuss or debate much anymore. As I have come to realize facts and science are things most consider useless. You? Who are you anyway. I thought you were some nun who took a vow of chastity. Nun - gali.
  2. Demonology. Why focus on the negative?

    Attempts to substantiate your claims. Are exactly what I would expect from you. ... 15 to 20 years ago. There was a news story in circulation announcing religious folks who no longer affiliate with a specific denomination would be recategorized as "atheist". That's where your "growth in atheism" stems from. There are many atheists who say they're "atheist but not woke". And many atheists who claim they're "agnostic not atheist". Those distancing themselves from wokeness and atheism can tell which direction winds of public opinion are blowing. No amount of pretending will ever make those winds favorable. This is like digging up fossils from 15 to 20 years ago. This is ancient & irrelavent knowledge to me. But to those like yourself, who could be the last to know things. You might consider this "new". People got banned for disagreeing with you? Its not a quote from cartoons. But good enough.
  3. I would guess it mirrors identical reasons for the average person lacking the physical capabilities of an olympic athlete. The highest levels that can be attained require time and energy to develop. Although it should be mentioned there are many false paths of development. Even in bodybuilding there are things like steroids which can present an illusion of development on the outside. While being harmful and damaging on the inside. And so even someone like myself who is known for being reckless would exercise an extreme level of caution if ever attempting any form of cultivation or spiritualism.
  4. Demonology. Why focus on the negative?

    The only similarity I see. Greek mythology contains references to giants (titans) of past eras. While the bible contains references to giants of past ages who were wiped out during the great flood. Similar to the great flood of Noah's Ark and the flood tale of the Epic of Gilgamesh. I've seen atheists claim the story of Jesus is a copycat of the story of Mithras for the last 20 years. Making those types of unsubstantiated claims is an integral part of how atheism lost ground over the past 20 years as well.
  5. When I was 12 years old, I delivered newspapers. The sunday paper was delivered early in the morning. It was normal for me to go door to door in the darkness before dawn and to watch a nice sunrise as the sun came up. The TV in the living room was on. There was an old horror movie about a genie. While I was walking down a path to deliver a paper. Suddenly a voice behind me, that seemed near the back of my neck said something in a whispering or hissing voice. (I could make out the words but dont want to repeat what it said). I looked behind me. There was nothing there. There was nothing within 10 to 20 feet of me other than the pavement walkway I was walking on. Bordered on both sides by grass. I ran to deliver the paper where it was supposed to go. Rode home. Got a pocket knife for protection. Finished my route. Being somewhat rattled the entire time. To this day I wonder what it was. Ventriloquist is my favorite explanation.
  6. Demonology. Why focus on the negative?

    The concept of 33% of fallen angels rebelling against heaven in the bible. Is not something found in greek or arabic tomes. The bible also repeats certain numbers and fractions like 1/3rd in ways which may have deep hidden meanings. In ways which cannot be compared to other religions. Which do no such thing.
  7. How Sex Works? *Energetically*

    I approach this from the perspective of someone searching for fundamental principles to explain x, y, z. Or someone searching for parallels in science which might apply to esotericism. The way boomers construct puzzles or do their newspaper crossword. (Youth today prefer sudoku or wordle.) You might want to try it, sometime.
  8. What did you learn from your pet?

    The way people value or neglect their pets. Is a good indication as to their true character.
  9. Demonology. Why focus on the negative?

    The bible itself containing parables and narratives of fallen angels. Even christians who usually avoid topics of magic & the occult must know some degree of biblical demonology. Christians who say things like "Satan get behind me" while believing there isn't an element of demonology study involved in these quotations and stories of fallen angels. Are a strange people.
  10. How Sex Works? *Energetically*

    Oddball theory about this. Its possible human sex works similar to cordless chargers for phones. . Note the coil in the abdominal area ^. Surely many have noticed this before I did?
  11. Japan anime crossovers

    COVID actually improved my health. Lost sense of taste and smell. Also lost all sensation of hunger or wanting to eat something. Went 3 days without eating, had a nice fast that improved my health. With COVID there was 1 day where I felt weak & slept more than normal. Then the illness was gone. Which aspect of science was useful to you during COVID? I learned some things about viruses and medical science during that time. And 99.9% of whatever I learned was 100% useless to most. So it seems anyway.
  12. Asking for something in a prayer

    A relationship is an exchange. Exchange of words, ideas, pleasantries, etc. Rewards in exchange for service defines a specific type of relationship. Some ask God for things and expect everything for free. As if religion were an offshoot of socialism with free education, free healthcare and free lunch. If the relationship was a fair and balanced one, should God not also ask things of people expecting the cost of wages & labor to be free.

    I wasn't active on daobums during COVID. And didn't see your response to it. What makes you think I was referring to you? Anyways done with this dialogue. Back to cartoons.
  14. Japan anime crossovers

    I would like to say I gave up on people. After seeing how little use they had for science or facts during COVID in 2020. But the more honest assessment is, people gave up on themselves. There's no need to try to say anything smart or insightful. People have no use for such things.

    The best? Personally, I feel like I haven't said anything yet. Only low quality and low intelligence takes on things. To suit the current environment of the internet.
  16. Asking for something in a prayer

    If the question is how God does things. Then it might be answered... How does the being who caused the Big Bang to occur in order for the universe to be created answer prayers. Entities of partial value and capacity use transactional methods due to their limited volume and energy. God's energy and volume would be infinite transcending mere physical limits. Like a nurturing parent, God would want people to pray to develop a relationship and ask for help when needed.
  17. Japan anime crossovers

    Some hold the opinion I have too much qi in the head area, they say it should be more sunk. But its not a result of moving energy up the spine. It stems from years upon years of reading thousands of articles on finance, science, politics, current events every year. Years of constant arguing, debating, breaking down & analyzing things. Etc, etc. Its not the same as governor - functional channel imbalance. Many taoists prefer forms of intuition over developing the rational mind. Consider me the anomaly of a person who prefers developing the rational mind over intuition.

    Buddha Bar is borderline offensive? The Buddha-Bar is a bar, restaurant, and hotel franchise created by French-Romanian restaurateur Raymond Vișan, with its original location having opened in Paris, France in 1996.[1] The Buddha Bar "soon became a reference among foreign yuppies and wealthy tourists visiting the city",[1] and "has spawned numerous imitators",[2] becoming popular in part because of the DJ's choice of eclectic, avant-garde music. It became known internationally for issuing the Buddha Bar compilation albums, which are popular compilations of lounge, chill-out music and world music, also under the Buddha Bar brand,[1] released by George V Records. Buddha Bar "has made a name for itself with its Zen lounge music CDs and remains a hit – especially with tourists".[3] Locations have since been opened in a number of other countries, although not without controversy arising from the theme. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddha_Bar ... Speaking of buddha & cartoons. There is a netflix series entitled Record of Ragnarok with buddha portrayed in it. https://www.netflix.com/title/81281579 Buddha in cartoons ^
  19. God is not love

    The fact that evil people can attain wealth and long life. Is the best evidence for God being love. He shows an incredible amount of restraint and mercy in allowing "the wicked" to enjoy success in the material world. When by all justice and fairness they might deserve far less.

    I don't know what to say to those. Who ask for proof water is wet. But yeah water is wet. Cartoons are good.
  22. Out of everything I do. Athleticism and fighting are the things I am worst at. That said I do enjoy working on technique and improving my skills in this area. Is there anything people do they would recommend or share here.
