There is an entire thread dedicated to his beliefs. Amazing how that works out, isn't it?

Not true...I am not able to "proceed to my heart's content".
The description of how it "works out" omits lots of info.
There is a whole sub-forum devoted to "Nonbelief", and it is permitted, in depth, in any thread here whatsoever.
While Pantheism (my belief), a Religious Concept that is one of the oldest in human history, is not only not given its own subforum, it's discussion is sequestered to just that single thread (after being completely banned) & the sub-forum for Paganism, and cannot be discussed anywhere else (see the Religion Posting Guidelines)....on a General Forum for "Religion and Spirituality".
THAT is how it REALLY works.
OTOH...it's what makes the board so interesting.

Knock it off!
The owner of the company set up the forums the way he wanted them to be. In some cases, he made it clear that this was a different kind of place. (For examples, look at the posts he made when he started the A&A forum and the Great Debates forum.)
The Senior Moderators have confirmed on several occasions that the R&S forums are running the way the company want them to run.
Now, you can quit griping about how the forum works.
And you don't bloviate about how superior your view is? That's about the funniest thing I've seen posted on this forum in weeks.
the possibility of living universe is more consistent with observation then some of your Buddhist views.
That's for dern sure.
oh wait that is not the purpose for you being here ... you reason is to to stop religion. Your end game justifies your approach.
My bad .. carry on with your assualt on people that don't think like you because you don't like how the said it. lmao ... don't like how they said it determines if they are reliable or not ...to funny, at your age too.

I don't ask you to believe my Buddhist views. I've asked anyone to believe my Buddhist views.
And saying that my purpose here is "to stop religion" is an outright lie. It's a lie every time you say it. But that never stopped you.

You asking me doesn't mean squat to weather your belief is more in line with observation or not.
Again, your post is more proof that you don't care about a claim being consistent with observation or not. Yet you are continuedly going on about yourself and your science training. And no, its not a lie phet. Your post here demonstrates that you have some way to go in understanding what I am saying. And if its not true ... you should be ashamed of yourself for not seeing they pull the strings.
Do bigots base reliability of people saying what the bigots wants instead of what is actually more true?
What I would prefer is to discuss my own Theist Beliefs. Just like other Theist members would like to discuss theirs.
THAT is contributing something worthwhile to this "Religion & Spirituality" board...in my view. The more posts about any of those Beliefs, the better.
From your posts, you would clearly attack straw man versions of other people, instead of actually addressing their posts.

As I have often noted...it is so whacked, off-the-wall and uniquely strange, I actually find it entertaining. In the same way I find horror movies and "insult comedy" entertaining.
This is kinda the modern version of a nondenominational, all-faith "Church"...interweb forums.

And yes, it is a straw man, despite those denying this.

lol, we are asynchronous.
we are looking at beliefs and how consistent with observation they are. Where does deny everything and minimize everything fit. That includes avoid discussing the validity of beliefs because we are "supposedly" helping humanity by stopping religion.
they are minimizing everything they can because they feel they know better. They feel we need saving from religion. They, like the fundy theist, use their statement of belief about god as a weapon.
church membership dropping is a function of people living better in our liberal, freedom of religion, liberal capitalism society.
Belief that we are part of a larger more complex system will out number deny everything. They call that a strawman because they are not here discussing beliefs ... they are here fighting religion, specifically, trying to stop Christianity in the states (and they have valid points there). In a non political forum about beliefs.
