The Big Words Chris Hoffmanski > Theology, History and Philosophy Discussion: "Question of the day: Do you have enough faith to be an atheist?" while the crowds are yakking about how inappropriate this question is for the group, i however used it as an opportunity to make a few points: faith is the organized believes, and believes are based on the third party reports, unlike the knowledge which is rooted in personal experience, which accumulates as intelligence, the ability to learn, and ferments into wisdom, one would hope. i know that i am Alexander Braun however i believe that Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins a few thousand years ago. However, when it comes to the loaded words, which best understood in the context of a sentence, it is useful first to define them, to make the conversation meaningful, since these words can be interpreted in all kinds of manner and can mean different things to different people, big words, such as God, Lord, Spirit, Soul, Devil, Demon, Satan, Good, Evil, Communism, Capitalism, etc, even Atheist. Personally, i define the word God as the physical body, would it be an atom, the human body, animal, plant (earth element), planet, the whole universe, however the word Lord i interpret as consciousness, the mind (water element), while the word Spirit, from Latin spiritus meaning to breathe, i understand as the space (air element), inner and outer (breathing in and out), and the Soul is the sense of time by way of emotions and feelings (fire element). Now, when i hear that an atheist does not believe in God, the way i interpret it is that the atheist does not buy into a third party report that there is a physical body living on the physical planet in the physical universe. Of course it is nonsense. However, since i know that that atheist probably defines these words differently, i imagine they refer to the concept of Lord, the conscious mind, which is then a matter of whose mind's account of the events and the teachings that they are referring to and do not, or do, believe in. It is a matter of semantics. Check out my metaphysics of The One Page Bible and The Big Picture: http://about.me/theUniverse i am honoured that out of close to four hundred articles i have written and published in my notes, the facebook censors have deemed over one hundred of them dangerous knowledge and have deleted them. mind you no one was reading them anyway, however i feel that i have accomplished something significant and it only has reinforced my convictions on the plethora of topics that i have covered. By checking what titles the spiritless ones have blocked i can tell easily what truth threatens and resonates with them. thank you for being so revealing, makes my job much easier. https://www.facebook.com/theUniverse.name/notes anyway, i have them published on my blog: http://theuniverse.name/wp
