Yes I have the audacity to post my word here and say that hope has a name, joy has a name, peace has a name, love has a name - and its name is Carrie, it's Jacob, it's Henry, and it's Hazel, and countless others too. Praise their names forever! I am not afraid to call anyone [who can truly identify with another] God, or have faith [in what's proven]. I don't operate on opinions and interest alone, but especially on strong convictions. I am convinced that we are what we have been looking for (all this time), and believe me, it's a humbling, sobering thought, but not only that, is also revolutionary, and it will change the world forever.
Yes, we can see and feel the changes of that *revolutionary* thinking everywhere I understand very well. "Humanism" is neither new, nor revolutionary in fact it is well in line with modern western society, that wants atomized individuals willing to believe anything the dates have changed, but fallacies of human mind had not.
Please go on and tell me how you, Carrie, Jakob, Henry, Hazel (hope, I did not forget anybody) present unity of matter and spirit in our existence? How you create and then alter laws that govern plants and animals, rivers and mountains, molecules aswell as massive black holes.
What is interesting is that you have faith - if your comment is genuine. You just focus it solely on your relationship with other human beings. Thats not a bad thing. These secular religions are without perspective, but they certainly dont make you a bad person. Have a nice day.
Speaking of soldiers....
Consider the following scenario:
Two soldiers from two opposing armies, both praying to the SAME God to win the battle and survive:
1. Soldier A dies, soldier B lives - God did not answer prayer
2. Soldier A lives, soldier B dies - God did not answer prayer
3. Soldier A lives, soldier B lives, but army A wins - God did not answer prayer
4. Soldier A lives, soldier B lives, but army B wins - God did not answer prayer
5. Soldier A lives, soldier B lives, but nobody wins - God did not answer prayers
Praying cannot work. Physically impossible.
And that is supposed to prove?
Guys, seriously, sometimes I feel this forum is full of autists. Praying is not making corporate bussiness deals with comicbook Superman. The praying man reminds himself of his relationship with God, with all the matter and spirit in the Universe. Him as mere part of a whole. Praying while perhaps "weird" from mechanical, materialistic point of view, mobilizes your internal strength. Reminding you, that wherever you, you are not alone. And whatever you do after - will be judged.
If I am one of many Autists who fills this forum, I am a proud one at that! As to your question of unity, I don't know how. I am merely part of ongoing processes, at which I marvel continuously. Pertaining to laws, I am not aware of a particular universal constant that would be subject to change in this particular universe, of which I am a specific part, and thus subject to its intended working.
