    The Simple Experiment

    No worries. I agree with you, we feel good when sharing and creating, not as good when taking and destroying. I say not as good because some people delight in taking and destroying, but most people don't. We definitely do things better as a team, whether or not the act is creative or...

    The Simple Experiment

    Well, I'm an oversimple man, haha. But I do notice good and evil vary from culture to culture. The Aztecs saw no problem with cutting out the hearts of living people, for example.

    I think so far we're on the same page. If I come up with something insightful, it's usually by accident.

    The Simple Experiment

    I think we're all capable of trolling and committing bad acts, as well as good acts. It depends on what you're exposed to. I think if you've never been exposed to war before, you wouldn't know how to do it. But you get exposed to it, suddenly you're capable of it. This is why leading by example...

    The Simple Experiment

    But you forget about fear, which is what I have about God. Fear is seldom rational, and it's powerful to shake off. I have extreme difficulty letting go of the fear that the religious fundamentalists are right, and that there's a God who demands us to live only this one particular way, and if we...

    The Simple Experiment

    Actually, I've been using this profile since May, so it's not been every week. Also, changing my name isn't trolling, because it's my right to change my username, unless I use more than one account on the same forum at the same time, which I'm not. Trolling is writing for the purpose of...

    The Simple Experiment

    Now, that game seems much more realistic. What you say about a good and corrupt force makes a lot of sense. This dog-eat-dog world does have signs of being good and corrupt. I find it a little scary that both sides are trying to conserve energy, because that removes the all-powerful part from...

    The Simple Experiment

    I like what you wrote, but remember in war there are no rules. Anyway, that's beside the point. It could be that the force which created the universe isn't the same as the force which governs it, as you said. If so, then I wish to speak with that which created my soul. I want to believe God is...

    The Simple Experiment

    I am Types with Fingers, and good on you for deducing it, but I do not believe you are bluebird from afterlifeforums. I believe you are a troll impersonating bluebird, because you don't write with respect for others as she does. I get it, you think we're idiots who are afraid of the dark. Maybe...

    The Simple Experiment

    That's highly likely. I've been exposed to and lived several worldviews in my short life, my notion of God is probably warped. Some days, I view God as a loving force which wants the best for me. Some days I view God as an anthropomorphic, wrathful being, demanding sacrifice and blood. Some days...

    Do near-death experience stories comfort you?

    NDE stories used to make me feel good about what I was doing with my life, because they generally advocated love, mercy, and a God who didn't care what your religion was. That was big to me. They never made me feel uncomfortable, when I first discovered them I soaked up as many as I could. I...

    The Simple Experiment

    I have an idea for a second experiment, I'd like to run it past y'all before I start it tonight. Before I go to sleep, I'll meditate, listening to a white noise generator app, until I fall asleep. Then, in the morning, I'll record what I dreamt (if I can remember it). My hypothesis is that if I...

    The Simple Experiment

    Thank you for your suggestion, I'm going to start some basic meditation tonight.

    The Simple Experiment

    Thank you for your post Vault313, what you say makes a lot of sense. I'm frustrated because I have friends who are born again Christians, and friends who are atheist materialists, and they're both so passionate that their view is right that I feel like a ship tossed around in a storm, I don't...
