Spirituality and the brain

[jmibnorthern]

My early years with my parents my spirituality seemed to be this taintible part of me that if I did the wrong thing I would go to hell. But I confused the fact that my brain was supposed to grow with being tainted in an unrecoverable way that would keep me from God forever.

First of all God has to be something that is more powerful than a growing brain can expell.

As I started studying my own brain chemistry I realized that neurotransmitters and the lack of them were causes for my joy and oppression. I realized that demons were the lack of a certain feeling at the top of my head and the existence of a feeling in my groin.

It turns out that different nerves in the body dictate your standing with God.

So I studied about how blood dilation in the brain and body affected the nerves and how controlling what you feeling is completely voluntary according to what areas of the body or brain you focus on by sending your blood to.

Can we expell the idea that God is something that can be felt?

On the other hand. If you don't take care of yourself and make money and mind your manners and your sexuality, you will never have a family. You will grow old and die alone alienated from your family. Therefore the wrath of God is real.

Were all these coincidences in my life my being open to be kind and receive kindness back, or was there a computer chip injected into my brain that controls my highs and lows, or is there actually a God smiling on me, who is proving again and again that he does exist and yet continues to be above my ability to grasp him.

I tend to enjoy the idea of an ungraspible God better than a scripture verse reciting only God, who can fit into a corner of my back pack.

I believe there is a creator. I hold to the Christian faith. All though I oppose religion as a whole. I accept the fact that what I believe could be completely wrong. But I don’t accept the idea that there is no creator. To many facts that point to intelligent design to deny a creator. I also hold to the idea that love is greater then sin.

What facts point to intelligent design?

 

[Exquisitor]

What facts point to intelligent design?

Tell me, if you were the creator, would you leave evidence; so that someone like you or I could prove it?

 

[TrueScotsman]

Are you getting to some facts, or is this your theological speculation of what a god would do if it existed?

Even though we can't prove so-called god exists, we still know he does exist and his existence can be used to prove other theories.

The material conception of god does not exist and this is not always true.

The evidence for intelligent design, you said it was compelling to you. When are you going to share?

 

[uptower]

Me, I wouldn't put my name on this mess.

In fact I'd abandon humanity as a failed experiment and go start a new planet.

Fact two parallel lines crossed by another must be crossed by both; Pythagoras' fifth theorem.

He left no proof. Mathematicians have spent their lives trying to prove it.

Pythagoras used this theorem to prove other theorems.

On a sphere a line can cross one but not the other.

Some things cannot be proven true, some not cannot be proven false, some are intuitively obvious and we must assume every case as well such as intuitively in-obvious.

Sources for the bold please. The ones that you 'studied.'

Please, elaborate on how this is evidence for an intelligent being designing the universe? This seems to be a god of the gaps argument, you don't understand something, therefore god.

Planet?

He's got a whole cosmos we're tangled up in, getting rid of us is of no use to him.

Still though, we were almost snuffed when we slaughtered up Krishna's pet cattle.

And now we suffer with the highest infant mortality, because we lead the world in the slaughter of cows.

It's not a pretty sight when the thing that gives you milk her whole life beholds the ghastly scene and screams bloody murder.

I'm postulating that the existence of God may be like Pythagoras' fifth theorem.

Once we postulate god we can say trinity; and you know they say three is a crowd.

Once we postulate god, we can also postulate no god.

No god means privacy, so no god and atheism have a purpose.

Left to itself what does matter do?

It obeys laws.

It's not just this big bang.

Big bangs are going on all over this part the infinite fractal in distances great as the expansion of the fractal itself.

Who is "we" here?

Those who understand the science.

 

[Lursa]

Those who understand the science.

Please be more specific. I have a Bachelor of Science and a strong background in evolutionary biology, microbiology, epidemiology, botany, and zoology. I am not an expert, but have applied my knowledge professionally for many years.

What is that? It's not even capitalized. Please explain or provide a link.

"God" lacks more of a meaning than an existence.

What do you mean God? That which does not exist? Then so is it unto you.

God is the sunum bonum of energy in existence.

God is needed to solve some equations just like Pythagoras' fifth theorem.

So without some understanding of god your science is limited.

?? That does not answer my question. Please try again:

We can know god exists, because it's intuitively obvious.

Someone laid the laws of creation.

We know of god from scripture and today we have scripture of science that I must reference to appease you.

Once you say someone laid, you can then inquire as to how and what then its purpose and why things.

If you say there is no purpose, then so is it unto you, but who wants to live without purpose?
