Episode date?


added to summary

florida?where?
LOL..i just posted pics from rabbit the moon in ybor!!

dont feel that way..silly.
i teach "elective" cultural religious history and comparative religions.
more from a metaphysical rather than anthropological point of view.i am willing to bet you could teach me a thing or two,what good is being a teacher if you cant learn?
my classes are in six week blocks,each block i cover something new.my next class is going to be covering "the book of urantia"
http://www.urantia.org/
it has been a monster for me so far,and i waste far too much time on the sift.
i dont subscribe to any religion myself,study religious doctrine long enough and you wont either,but when you take doctrine and dogma away almost all religions have a similar commonality.
my definition from a metaphysical standpoint is:
any belief system that has inherently scripturally based doctrine or dogma that is culturally based.with practices,rituals,rights of holy passage and sacred texts.
which is almost all of the 4500 religions on the planet,but not everyone subscribes to them.
i will definately check that book out,any new information to learn is a good thing.
many thanks my friend.
till next time.
namaste.

what about the deists?
everybody is so worried about the atheist and the theist,but what about the deists?
ya know what?
i dont really care,cuz if you dont chew big red then FUCK YOU!


I care about deists! I also like animism. Both are belief systems that I find attractive and non harmful to society (such as imposing one's morals on others, or fundamentalist-driven wars). I believe quite a few of the USA's founding fathers were deists, and if the lyrics of Pocahontas's song from the Disney movie are any indicator, the Native Americans were animists ;-) I do think both belief systems should get more recognition. The problem is defining religion in the first place. There really is no line between certain religions, philosophies, and belief systems. So, imho, there are actually many more atheists in the world currently, and historically, than people realize.

Honestly, I'd rather have this conversation in a classroom, or drunk, or both.
i was bein a smart ass,and i wanted to use that awesome line from tallidega nights.
there actually is a definition of religion,which i have posted..and it got me nowhere.i think people conflate certain properties much too easily concerning theism and deism.
you are correct about america's forefathers being mainly deists..also freemasons.native americans have an incredible array of belief systems concerning the great spirit.
i loved the video you posted =)
