Super happy to see and hear from you Rupert! I have been checking daily for another upload wanting to hear what is on your mind in this mayhem world. And here you are with Mark! Now, on to the conversation. Thank you so much in advance!

It is far better to have a personal inner religion "a God-conscious connection," than an organized secular and godless church.

Such a wonderful discussion.

Such an engaging conversation. It felt like you guys represented the mystical side and organized side very well.
|
Very interesting conversation. Thanks π

And a very interesting perspective from you, Mark - also, thank you.
|
Great conversation gentleman, it is much appreciated

Organized religion, despite its flaws, provides hope to people. They need to believe that someone is watching over them and will help them in difficult times.

I really enjoy these dialogues my take on it we would all be better off without organised religion. Organised religion divides us.

Academics can abandon everything they like to, however current events show it not a realistic goal.

Honestly, looking at how catholic church operates nowadays, and how it deals with it`s... "love for children" here in Poland, I`d love to say we don`t need any organized form of a religion, because, at least in the roman catholic example, it operates like a corrupted corporation.
But community sure is important, now people build communities around everything but for older folks church was THE community. In my city more people go for a communal trash picking on Sunday afternoon than to the church tho.

Itβs a dramatic return to community values, singing and dancing, culminating extravagantly as a tidal wave of radical world wide environmentalism

1911 saw the end of the Poor Laws, the Poor Laws being instigated by Henry Vlll after he sacked the monasteries. The 1911 National Insurance Act changed the jurisdiction of the parishes of the churches as the first jurisdiction. Basically, the National Government made themselves the 'Pro Patria', rather than Pro Patria meaning for the country, now it meant for the government. Or, at least for the DWP, which we see with the Welfare State gobbling the equity of the People up, in the form of their posterity and prosperity.
Between the Calvinists of the aristocracy, which includes the Royal Family, and the alliance with Bolshevism, through the First, Second and Third International, then the State have replaced themselves as the God and as Calvinism professes, no one, except Calvinists, can be 'saved'.

Even when the church operates at 10% ,it still is more than what others offer.

Christianity has always done some of its best work (in my opinion) during times of "coming apart" and when it's the underdog... that can inspire some of the greatest levels of determination, good works, philosophical crescendos... when its under pressure of suppression or negative attack on it, the smaller core of believers really cone out with the best arguments in favour of it, while many of the wolves in sheeps clothing have defected to whatever the public considers the ascendant moral system so they can have the goodwill and get the furthest with their virtue signaling, leaving only those in Christianity who are convinced, who try to do the right thing noatter what others think.
Finally, if people think the world was dysfunctional and backwards with Christianity at the center, wait until they see what happens when the modern alternatives take its place... we're watching that now: all Sam Harris-esque illusions that we'd have a golden age of science and rationality likely go out the window and we get chaos, liscenciousness, other forms of intolerance fhat are worse. I do agree that too much Christianity im society without rationality to counterbalance it can and has done harm (especially again, with the wolves in sheeps clothing). Having the correct balance does good though and I jooe we will see this return one day

Seek and you shall find, right? How many of the clergy, or the masses following the pharisees, have ever actually sought? I am speaking of ALL of the mainstream religions; priests, rabbis, sheikhs, etc...? Those that have truly sought see right through these cult leaders that are purely agenda driven. And those that begin to truly seek start to realize that something's not quite right about what these preachers are preaching (a lack of heart and soul).

Hello from Virginia my friend's πΊπΈ
Great Channel π

The power of "the Christ" is his ability to live on in the present through the hearts of men, in the past as a historically significant figure, and the future through the second coming. Sounds like a holy trinity.
I don't subscribe to it, but gotta admit it's an all encompassing character study.
