The Eternal is energy. It is within and beyond the Universe. The Eternal is not knowable by humans. The Eternal does not have emotions like humans. I dont attribute human emotions and weaknesses with the Eternal. The Eternal is the Force behind the existence of the Universe. You got it, mate...

Peaceful soul, you have some rather unusual ideas about the Eternal. I would like to know where and how did you develop these. Did you get all this from your religion, the Bible or spiritual/life experiences? I dont understand this focus on perfection, a state which, in my opinion, does not...

I agree with Tocis on this one (Hail and Greetings, Tocis; long time no see :)). I have an condition known as dissociative identity disorder and I went to a therapist to learn how to live with it. I knew something was quite bloody wrong and went to see someone who could help. Now that I know...

I believe our earliest ancestors set the standard of what is ethical/moral. I want to be ethical and moral because I want to do the right thing and not 'disturb the peace' anymore than it already is. I joined Asatru mainly because of the morals and ethics of the religion. I didn't want to live a...

I dont believe God made us to be perfect. If we were all perfect, we would be the most boring creatures in the Universe. We couldnt grow; we couldn't reach out to learn and improve ourselves. Perfection is an illusion; it doesn't exist among mortal creatures. I can not be perfect in my humanity...

If there is evidence that Omar Ahmad indeed said the above, then may I suggest that Mr. Ahmad take his moronic words and neatly shove them where Sol doesn't radiate heat and light. ;) Hail the Aesir; Hail the Vanir, Rhyddid Rose Rhys

See, this thread is only confirming what I've known for a long time: Monotheism is not logical. You have 3 major monotheistic religions which can not agree on the nature/attributes of the One God which they say they worship! If there is One God or deity, why cant you agree? Just my £2 worth...

Since when are Buddhism, Islam, Jains, Shinto, Sikhism and other major religions considered cults? I clicked onto the link to see if they had Asatru or Heathenry listed, but I found major world faiths listed instead. Seems to me the author has a major problem with different faiths, IMO. Hail...

As a Heathen, I would say that I respect the traditions of some religions. Like, the holidays and how families get together and celebrate spiritual events. I respect the 'coming together' of Chanukkah, Easter, Eid, Solstice and other events. I respect anyone who has morals and ethics and are...

Ah, I LOVE this! I knew there was a sense of humour hiding among you lot! Happy Atheist Day from a laughing Heathen. :) Hail the Aesir; Hail the Vanir, Rhyddid Rose Rhys
