Drowning and receiving the miracle of returning to my body to live this wonderful life is what created my beliefs. If that had not happened to me, I might be as stagnant and closed up as so many others. [/quote] Wait - so your conversion [i]didn't[/i] occur by zealots badgering you? Do the math. [/quote] I am not converted to anything. I am not religious. Religions are man made. I am spiritual, I do know a creating force exists. I do know a Christ consciousness, so to speak exists. If you want to give it a name, that is up to you, as man has named every deity in existence. All I know is when I could not get above the water and could not hold my breath anymore, and the pain in my chest was unbearable, everything went black and the pain was gone. I could hear, I was aware. When I could see again I saw the most beautiful light coming towards me, or I was going towards it, not sure. Coming out of the light towards me, I was met by a figure of light. I call the Christ consciousness. And was told telepathically, that it was not my time to meet the creator an I had to go back to learn and teach, because that is the reason for life. I had more they wanted me to do and it was an accident that I had drowned. It was not suppose to happen. I did not want to come back. The love that I felt permeating out of that light was so embracing and unconditional. I have yet to feel its equal. I was guided to a place, seemed like underground, murky red, muddy looking and what I saw, oh dear, I don't like to talk about that much an am glad I was not forced to enter, only peer in. I was told that this is the place some in my life's path will be going while others will choose to go into the light. Both places do exist, for I have seen them both. Just hope your name is written in the Akashic records/ book of life before the world began, so you wont have to worry about where your consciousness resides for all eternity once your body dies. We are not our bodies, our bodies are our classroom, life creates the lessons and our reactions to those lessons is our teacher if we choose to be taught. Freewill is the curse that separates us from our creator. [/quote] You could not be more mistaken. Free Will is the only thing binding us to the creator in a true/loving way. If we had no free will, god would not be omnipotent, but a tyrant. The fact that you have the freedom to denounce god is proof of gods omnipotence. I am not a Christian. [/quote]
Original Message
When I encounter someone who claims they are Atheist, it makes me wonder about what Atheism truly is.
The central thesis proposed by Atheism is that god does not exist, however, what most people don't realize is that "GOD" is central and key to the belief. God is the ground upon which Atheism is built on, however, the only catch is, that Atheists denounce god... but how can they truly be Atheist if god is central to their thesis? Meaning.. if there was no god, then Atheism would not be possible as a concept.
You cannot use something you do not believe in as a central point in your thesis, correct? Atheism seems like a joke that is being played on the ignorant. A true atheist would never call themselves an Atheist, because Atheism immediately locks you in to "god" or the lack of "god".. but God is still very much part of the belief structure.
Make sense?
