Like you, @Pixel--Dude, I also subscribe to a spiritual view of reality believing that a deeper occult level of reality exists and that everything is the evolving consciousness of a single intelligent supreme being but at the same time don't subscribe to any organized religion whether it be Christianity or even Hinduism and view the organized religions as mostly negative systems of control. I think that this is especially the case for Christianity but I also view atheism as a dogmatic ideology of anti-spirituality aimed at our disempowerment.Pixel--Dude wrote: ↑July 13th, 2022, 1:10 pmWhich of these belief systems do you subscribe to and what is the basis for your beliefs?
CHRISTIANITY: A monotheistic and Abrahamic religion which follows the life and teachings of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Christians believe the teachings of the bible are 100% real and that their god is all loving and all powerful. Members of the forum such as @MrMan and @Outcast9428 follow this religion.
ATHEISM: An absence of belief in any deities. Sometimes atheists assert as fact that there is no intelligent creator because evolution and science give an explanation for the universe without there being a need for a god, therefore no such god exists. I only know of one atheist on the forum @flowerthief00
SPIRITUALITY: Spirituality involves the recognition of a feeling or sense or belief that there is something greater than myself, something more to being human than sensory experience, and that the greater whole of which we are part is cosmic or divine in nature. It is something personal to the individual, but has sort of become institutionalised with the New Age. Members of the forum open to spirituality are @Lucas88 and @Winston although Lucas88 believes in a more personal form of spirituality, I am not sure if Winston is the same or whether he considers himself part of the New Age.
I'll begin with my evaluation of atheism since that is what you did.
The tenets of atheism are NOT empirical despite frequent claims by its proponents that atheism is somehow supported by science or based on scientific evidence. Ideas such as "there is no intelligent creator", "the universe has no purpose", "physical reality is all that exists", "consciousness is an emergent product of the material brain" and "an afterlife and/or reincarnation is impossible" are merely philosophical postulates without any strong empirical basis. Atheism is nothing more than a speculative philosophy at best yet many of its fanatical proponents push the false narrative that the atheist worldview is an objective reality demonstrated by science and that all other possibilities are necessarily wrong. In this regard their position is majorly dishonest.
Some of the philosophical postulates made by the atheist model are even contradicted by empirical data. The atheist model asserts that consciousness cannot exist independent of the physical body and that survival after bodily death is impossible yet there are consistent reports of near-death experiences in which the clinically dead have found themselves conscious outside of the physical body despite being flatlined and without heart activity, come face to face with a vastly expanded deeper dimension of nonphysical reality and even been able to observe and accurately recount real-life events from an out-of-body perspective in cases of veridical perception. These phenomena have been studied by medical experts such as Jeffrey Long and Pim van Lommel among others who view them as evidence for the afterlife. Moreover, there is also the phenomenon of accurately recalled and later confirmed past-life memories in children which has been investigated by the likes of Ian Stevenson and Jim Tucker. Many of the cases indicate reincarnation or at least a strong supernatural element such as superpsi as an alternative hypothesis and are not easily accounted for by materialist explanations. But dishonest atheists cavalierly dismiss any data that contradicts their own worldview or deny that it even constitutes evidence. They are not truth seekers or even open-minded skeptics but simply closed-minded dogmatists.
I myself have direct experience of the occult/paranormal. I'm not just talking about fleeting ghost sightings which can be dismissed as the witness's imagination either. I've personally experienced qi phenomena and a premature Kundalini awakening after practicing Yoga which messed up my body's meridians (the energy channels recognized by Qi Gong and Traditional Chinese Medicine) and left me in agony and with severe physiological dysfunctions for a long time. I've also experienced energetic distance healing for the alleviation of this same problem and then the benefits of acupuncture for the reopening of my affected meridians. I wrote about this ordeal of mine in detail in @WilliamSmith's energy arts/qi thread and can testify that all of this stuff is 100% real. I've also witnessed poltergeist phenomena on multiple occasions and had an out-of-body experience of my own although none of this is as tangible and experientially unmistakable as my experiences with qi/Kundalini and energetic distance healing. Atheists/staunch materialists assert that nothing occult or paranormal is real but I know through direct experience that it is. I therefore have no reason to take their speculative philosophy or worldview seriously yet alone assume that it is the sole objective truth.
Moreover, atheism is just absurd to begin with. No amount of scientism propaganda will ever change that. The universe is so complex and ordered that it makes absolutely no sense to believe that it all just made itself out of nothing (or out of some preexisting quantum vacuum) with no underlying intelligence or design. It is much more logical to assume design and purpose in the Creation. But atheism simply seeks to deny what is obvious and logical to many and convince us that there is no design or purpose in a complex and ordered universe.
I also have a negative view of atheists as people in light of my interactions with them. I've found that when it comes to disagreements on questions of a metaphysical nature atheists are generally the quickest to resort to mockery and insults as well as accusations that people with a different point of view are stupid or unintelligent. I think that this is a reflection of their narrow-minded fanaticism and pseudo-skepticism and also says more about their quality as people. I also think that this same quick recourse to mockery and insults serves as a way to avoid any meaningful discussion since atheists understand deep down that they don't really have as firm a basis for their beliefs as they would like to believe and don't like having their own assumptions challenged either. Some of them use the "burden of proof" argument but this is just a cop-out and what many atheists fail to realize is that even a negative assertion requires burden of proof. If an atheist says for example "I don't believe in god or the supernatural" then the burden of proof is not on him since he is merely stating a personal opinion but as soon as that same atheist asserts "there is no intelligent creator" or "the supernatural doesn't exist" then he too must assume the burden of proof for his arguments. But many atheists employ a blatant double standard. Atheists are not really as objective as they claim to be. They often have emotional and ideological motives of their own and fervently adhere to atheism because they want it to be true. Some people prefer to believe that everything is due to random causes and that life has no purpose or deeper meaning because that gives them justification to live whatever kind of hedonistic lifestyle they like and not to think too deeply about anything.
In short, I don't have a positive evaluation of atheism at all and don't see why any honest philosophical person would ever take it seriously. At this point it's just an ideological cult pushed by the establishment because that is the simplistic and narrow way of thinking that the establishment wants people to adopt.
Now for my evaluation of Christianity.
While Christianity recognizes the existence of a creator and intelligent design with its biblical creationism as well as the realm of the supernatural, the religion likewise falls into ideological dogmatism with regard to things such as the nature of the creator, the purpose of man, the nature of the soul and the afterlife. In this regard it is quite like its nemesis atheism. While atheism claims "science" as the basis for its ideological dogmatism, Christianity claims inerrant divine revelation.
Although many supernatural things can be directly experienced, Christianity's core theological doctrines are not experiential. Beliefs such as atonement through Jesus' blood sacrifice, salvation through faith or the promise of eternal life following the purported resurrection at the end of time have no empirical basis in reality. They cannot be directly experienced and must be taken on faith -- faith based on wishful thinking. I had a discussion with @MrMan about this in another thread. I explained to him that Christianity's core theological doctrines such as those mentioned above are all abstract constructs which can neither be experienced nor demonstrated and possibly only exist in the collective consciousness of believers while occult phenomena such as qi cultivation and the Kundalini are things which myself and many others have experienced directly and which we therefore know to have concrete existence. But MrMan just skeddadled without addressing my point. He most likely knew that he had no convincing counterargument. Christian fundamentalists often assert that nonbelievers refuse to accept Christianity because of their preference for sin and a life of unrighteousness. Many people however just find no reason to put their faith in doctrines with no empirical or experiential basis. There is simply no obvious reason to believe in Christianity other than simply wanting to believe in it.
Christian doctrine is also contradicted by empirical data. Many people have had near-death experiences and encountered supernatural entities on the other side such as purported angels, Buddha, other religious figures and deceased relatives but very few of these people come back with the message that Jesus is the only path to salvation or that religion is even necessary. Christian fundamentalists argue that those people were deceived by Satan and his demons and deception is certainly a possibility but somebody from another religion could argue just as easily that Paul's vision of Christ on the road to Damascus or any other part of Christianity's "revelations" were instances of deception at the hands of malevolent or demonic entities who merely masquerade as god or angels. Indeed the Gnostics who were wiped out by the Catholic Church in the 4th century held a similar belief. They asserted that Judaism and the redemptionist religion of Christianity were programs of deception imposed up man by the false demiurge and his archons for humanity's spiritual enslavement.
Christianity, like its parent religion Judaism, also contains morally questionable elements despite its assertion that "God is love". While Judaism was always a sick demonic religion which demanded the constant sacrifice of animals and burned holocausts for the purposes of devotion, atonement and pacification of Yahweh's divine wrath, the New Testament religion likewise promotes the idea of blood sacrifice as well as ritualized symbolic cannibalism and vampirism supposedly for the atonement of humanity's sins in the form of the Holy Supper. Christianity's central cult ritual resembles a Jewish black magic ritual and that is exactly what I believe it to be. Beyond its external façade of love and righteousness, Christianity is actually a pretty sick religion when you really look into it.
The New Testament also preaches an ethical ideal of "turn the other cheek" and urges slaves to obey their masters. It is essentially a slave morality aimed at the pussification of the Gentile peoples and the destruction of all noble warrior instincts. I myself am of the view that Christianity was spread to the Gentiles by Jews like Saul of Tarsus as a trojan horse for the subversion of our societies and the eradication of our Pagan warrior ethos for our eventual subjugation. Christianity was in many ways the destructive Judeo-Bolshevism of that time. Meanwhile Judaism, the religion's master program, advocates fervent Jewish tribalism, anti-Gentilism and Jewish domination of the nations. For this goal the Gentiles had to be sufficiently pussified by Jewish hoax slave redemptionism first. I'm curious to know what the shrewd anti-Semite @WilliamSmith thinks about this theory. He's been quite vocal about weak Jew-deo Christian values and their influence on our societies lately.
All in all, I view Christianity as an unempirical dogmatic ideology with some very morally questionable aspects at the very least but also more likely a deliberate program for the enslavement of our nations perpetrated conspiratorially by the Jewish elite of the time and possibly aided by negative supernatural entities (i.e., demons, archons, asuras, etc.) behind the theocratic Yahweh cult of Judaism.
This is enough for today. I'll might come back and write some more later.
