Belief part 3

Yes atheists, you have beliefs about God(s). Atheism is the position of no faith in those beliefs. You mistake this position for the absence of any such beliefs in which to have no faith. Unbelief.

But these are terms loaded with religious meaning. A quick redefine will show the universality of this.

Belief == Concept

Faith == Trust

The "theist" part of atheist defines it's position relative to the concept of gods. Zero trust.

But you still have the concepts, the preconceptions. Without theism atheism would not exist.

We form beliefs/concepts about everything. Then we apply a level of faith/trust in those beliefs. Having zero trust != not holding the concept.

Part 1 and Part 2 are available for reference.

And for the record (again) I'm a big fan of atheism. In the right hands.

Bloodlines

It was around 2001. I'd been a Christ for a couple of years however I was very much on my own. I'd spent my time looking for guidance and direction but as the internet was still young I was unable to find much useful information, and no gurus to guide me. Around this time I came across the book  The_Holy_Blood_and_the_Holy_Grail . It was the first time I was introduced to the concept of Jesus having a bloodline into the modern age. "Hey, I'm a Christ! Wouldn't it be neat-o if I was a descendant of Jesus! Nah, bullshit. Wishful thinking. Forget about it". Then the gang stalking. Much can be found in my  Medium blogs  as well as my  Linktree . One of the effects of gang stalking is to cause the TI to re-examine everything in one's life, looking for reason and meaning.  When you go through life things happen and you view those things from your perspective at the time and make judgements and assumptions about the things. Life goes on, more stuff happens which ...

My Kingdom for a Horse

Image
🐎 for 👑? That hardly seems like a good trade. Everything for a pittance? Who in their right mind would think this was a fair trade? But this is precisely what has been done by the criminals running the species. Thousands of years ago they gave up their inheritance, the entire universe, in order to have total power over stupid smelly 🐒 s. Misery loves company. Their goal is to swindle each and every human out of their inheritance, getting them to accept even less than they.  Disconnecting the species from One. Eliminating God. Substituting themselves in the role. A hive. It has been my direct experience that so many have accepted the pittance offered. Smart people, people you would never suspect. Participating in the elimination of democratic societies. Participating in the enslavement of those with the genetic potential to raise the entire species. Selling their souls in servitude of inbred criminals. They want what I've got. They're about to get it. 👢 I don't know what...

The Christianity Equation

Back in mid 1999 I experienced Gnosis. Enlightenment. At the end of a bong. I wasn’t looking for it. I wasn’t interested. I’d spent much of my youth extricating myself from Christianity and had no impetus to take on another belief system (which this isn’t, but still I wasn’t interested). I immediately understood that I was God. Just like everyone and everything else. 'God' is a property of existence. I understood that I was a Christ and after a fraction of a second rejected any notion of being Jesus or anything like what I’d learned in Sunday School. This isn’t Highlander. 'Christ' can be considered the equivalent of a martial artist’s black belt. There can be more than one. If I had been raised Buddhist I’d see it from a Buddhist’s perspective. If I’d been raised Muslim, then from a Muslim’s perspective. Prior to enlightenment a process called 'preparing the vessel' is necessary and required. I began this process at the age of 14 in earnest, taking my Sunday Sc...
