David Cameron, the leader of the UK's coalition Government, has gone on record as saying teat the UK should return to bible morality.

Whilst I, obviously, agree with that thought in terms of morality, I wonder if he has thought the statement through.


You agree?

Yet you point to the immorality within religious doctrine.

Bible morality is poor, given they come out of a genocidal and evil God.

All Christian and myriad of Abrahamic based cults and religions, including Islam, are slave holding ideologies, and have basically developed into intolerant, homophobic and misogynous religions.

Both of our mainstream religions have grown themselves by the sword instead of good deeds and continue with their immoral ways in spite of secular law showing them the moral ways.

Jesus said we would know his people by their works and deeds. That means Jesus would not recognize Christians and Muslims as his people, and neither do I. Jesus would call Christianity and Islam abominations.

Gnostic Christians did in the past, and I am proudly continuing that tradition and honest irrefutable evaluation based on morality.

The Theft of Our Values
Is religion an ideal barometer of Western values or merely an oppressor of them? The conclusions set forth in the documentary The Theft of Our Values...

Humanity centered religions, good? Yes. Esoteric ecumenist Gnostic Christianity being the best of these.

Supernaturally based religions, evil? Yes.

Islam and Christianity being the worst of these.

Moral people will agree.

That of course depends on what standard of morality you apply. Your own imperfect one or God's perfect standard. The choice couldn't really be simpler. The trouble is that in the end it doesn't matter what we think, Jesus will be the judge and He always follows his Father's standards.
.


His fathers standards are quite immoral.

What else would you expect from a genocidal God who favors homophobia and misogyny.

Care to argue for that bastards moral; tenets?

I did not think so.

That sounds very close to suggesting that the Bible is not a moral yard stick.


It is not a good moral yard stick.

It is based on Jesus paying for our sins, and ignoring that it is immoral and a sin to use Jesus as a scapegoat.

Only immoral thinkers will abdicate their own responsibility for their sins.

If Christians stopped running away from moral discussions, they would recognize that fact and send Jesus and his Armageddon and future genocide to hell.

It is, but a really poor one.

It is great for the in crowd, but hell on those not in the group/tribe.

You would know this if Christians ever debated morals instead of running away.

Spiritualism is a belief system that has been present throughout human history, transcending cultural boundaries and offering individuals a deeper connection to the metaphysical realm. Rooted in the belief that there is more to existence than the physical world, spiritualism encompasses a wide range of practices, beliefs, and philosophies aimed at understanding and connecting with the spiritual aspect of life. In this essay, we will delve into the essence of spiritualism, its principles, practices, and significance in the modern world.

At the core of spiritualism lies the belief in the existence of a spiritual reality beyond the material world. Followers of spiritualism often believe in the existence of a higher power, universal energy, or divine consciousness that connects all living beings. This belief forms the foundation of various spiritual practices aimed at exploring and nurturing this connection, such as meditation, prayer, contemplation, and rituals.

One of the key principles of spiritualism is the idea of interconnectedness. Spiritualists believe that all living beings are interconnected and that every action and thought has a ripple effect on the collective consciousness. This interconnectedness emphasizes the importance of compassion, empathy, and love towards all beings, as they are seen as manifestations of the same universal energy.

Spiritualism also places a strong emphasis on personal growth and self-discovery. Followers of spiritualism often engage in practices that help them explore their inner selves, uncover their true purpose, and cultivate a sense of inner peace and harmony. Through practices like mindfulness, self-reflection, and introspection, individuals can develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the world.

Another fundamental aspect of spiritualism is the belief in life after death. Many spiritual traditions hold the belief that the soul is eternal and continues to exist beyond the physical body. This belief in the continuity of life after death provides comfort to many individuals and serves as a source of hope and solace in times of grief and loss.

In the modern world, spiritualism continues to hold relevance as people seek meaning and purpose in their lives beyond material wealth and success. In a fast-paced and often chaotic world, spiritual practices offer individuals a sense of grounding, connection, and inner peace. Practices like yoga, meditation, and mindfulness have gained popularity in mainstream culture as tools for reducing stress, enhancing well-being, and fostering spiritual growth.

Moreover, spiritualism serves as a bridge between different cultures, religions, and belief systems, emphasizing the universal truths that unite humanity rather than the differences that divide us. By focusing on shared values such as love, compassion, and interconnectedness, spiritualism has the potential to promote unity, harmony, and understanding among people of diverse backgrounds.

In conclusion, spiritualism offers a profound and transformative path for individuals seeking a deeper connection to themselves, others, and the universe. Through its principles of interconnectedness, personal growth, and belief in the eternal nature of the soul, spiritualism provides a framework for navigating life's challenges, finding meaning and purpose, and cultivating a sense of peace and harmony in an increasingly complex world. As we continue to explore the depths of spiritualism, may we discover the boundless potential of the human spirit and the infinite possibilities that lie within each of us.
