The declaration at the outset of the day and sending all prayers to "Father God" in the name of "Jesus" are crucial for effective prayer. The true God is over and above all religions. You don't need to go through Jesus. Actually You are Right about not Needing to go Thru Jesus . Going thru intermediaries stems From Greek thought and pagan thought not Jewish thought . Not Sure about your Religious Statement , Surely you don't believe you can do anything you want and God will Not Care ? |
blueman User ID: 58289794 United States 12/10/2015 09:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Iv'e done similiair things before I became athiest. I gave thanks to god for things like food. I tried to constantly have "love" for god in my heart. It had good effects. However, I'm fairly certain that its not the direct beliefs that matters. It's all about feeling, positive thought and focus on loving something beyond yourself. It can be done with jesus, god, shiva, gurus, ect.. The object is unimportant. I don't think this sort of thing can be done as an atheist though. I think one has to really commit, before going back to atheism. No one goes in to love half-assed, they fall whole-heartedly. I would think that a month would give this experiement a better chance. But only for those who are willing to drop rationality. My technique was : 1. Believe in God. 2. Thank God for everything. For example, thanks God for food like it is a gift. 3. Focus on loving God throughout the entire day. Have that good feeling in the chest area. Be in the moment. 4. Don't rationalize it. There is some other stuff one can do too. It's a technique in the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra. A technique called "Devotion Frees" Osho Rajneesh explains it well : [link to www.meditationiseasy.com] I believed in God, became atheist. Then read what Osho had to say and it helped put my experiance with faith in perspecctive. Sorry for the huge post! |

People became atheists because they started rationalizing everything. Religion is not a rational thing. Supernatural things can often be explained. If one is a very mind-oriented person, I think religion will be a bad thing for them! Just my opinion though. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 61427759 United States 12/10/2015 09:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | See here's the thing, though. It's all bullshit. You don't know what you purport to know. You were brainwashed to believe this. You were born an atheist and rather than being taught to think for yourself, these myths were rammed down your throat as truths. You could have been born into a muslim household, and you'd be spouting totally different garbage. You could've been brought up Hindu, or Jewish, or Mormon, and be spouting yet other garbage. But it's still all garbage. There's plenty of wonderment out there, plenty to be thankful for, plenty to fulfill your imagination, plenty to satisfy your thirst for knowledge, plenty to do good for, plenty to love for. But it doesn't have to be stooped in unfounded superstition. Think for yourself and don't fall to these archaic ideologies born of ignorance. It's all bullshit. Deep down you know it - anyone with reasonable intelligence should be able to see it - you can't possibly, really believe the fairy tales that religions spout, can you? Wake up man! |

So I hope God blesses you for trying this and don't get discouraged when this thread gets hijacked. |

Jesus was not teaching what you seem to think.. which by the way is a creation of the NWO in the 4th century in the form of the Romans emperor. Don't be led astray from the real teachings of Jesus with this pseudo-spirituality that you call religion |

I'm not trying to be a smart ass but its real deal. The supernatural realm is very real and there really is a massive war waging between God and the devil. Crowley was serving the devil, and while the devil may pay short dividends, the consequences are eternal. Serve God and there are short and long-term benefits, most important of which eternal life by Jesus' shed blood. |

You don't need to go through Jesus. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one gets to the Father but by me." And in no way should anyone send out random prayers to any so-called god because they will only be dealing with demons. Demons can do supernatural things, but it will only bring bad things into your life. The way I've described how to pray will bring the goodness of God into one's life. |
