I just want to know why you are on this forum (religion and philosophy). Also, if you feel you have a deeper purpose in life, what is it?

My purpose:

I learned long ago that I am here to make dynamic actions that facilitate change, simplification and improvement. My personal energy is one that in a positive sense can fracture the known so there can be space for the unknown new things (approaches, beliefs, etc.) to fit in. I will face resistance from those that are not ready for or are open to change, but I know that I have the energy to see the resistance dissolved.

My spirit is of the wolf. I am here to sniff out the truth and track it down. To lead others to the truths out there, and to chase off those that deny and mean to hide these truths. I am here to scatter the herd, only to round it up again.

I am on a journey for knowledge, to seek out what lays before us, some visible and known, and some hidden, possibly locked away until the timing is right.

On this site and in everyday life, I am on a mission to understand what people believe. To stir the crowd in order to find the truth. I am on both sides, I argue in favor of both believers and non believers so that I can understand them both. I have an open mind. Ready to digest any and all information that leads me to the truth.

How about you?

My ex-girlfriend wanted to move to another state, so we were looking at different towns in that state.

I happened across the forums, and I enjoy expressing my opinion, even if there's a hollow echo in response.

I'm here because it gives me something to do besides the work I should be doing.

I have to say FK, you come off as kinda new-age scary, but as one who is on a journey of knowledge too (though maybe slightly less esoteric), I hope your journey is fruitful.

You can call me new-age, christian, atheist, agnostic, monotheistic, polytheistic, etc. I am every faith and religion. Even those that I have not yet learned about.

Why is that scary? An open mind is better than a closed mind, isn't it?

And that would be because the imaginary are incapable of defending themselves. Santa, the tooth fairy, the easter bunny, etc. all need advocates as stand-ins as they don't exist.

If god, jesus, etc. were 0.00001% as powerful as they are said to be, there would be no need to defend them or attempt to prove their existence.......... but since they ain't, we are left with mere mortals attempting to defend the absurdity of gods.

Folks, I would like to ask you not to criticize someone for their beliefs. If you want tolerance on their part then you must give it in return.

Just post what you believe, if you don't believe in anything simply put that you don't have any beliefs.

Thank you
