One dimension of the perennial debate between Theists and Atheists, Spiritualists and Materialists, has been of the kind :
There is spirit. Where is the spirit ? There is God. Where is God ? There is One, Whole, Unity. Where is One, Whole, Unity ? Now, dialectically, the discussion goes far but nowhere. So, let me place the issue in a familiar context that may perhaps express the separation and the connection between these two poles. Here it goes : My Father and I are one. >>> Unity I am the Way. >>> Connection I know not ; only my Father knows. >>> Separation These may not exactly be his quotes but they are what Christ seems to have expressed at some point of time or other. What they reveal, if indeed they do, is that all three exist, are there within us, in the way we are, know, think, believe, feel, and look upon upon others and themselves. So, why are the Materialists or Atheists saying they alone are valid, true, correct and, by implication and their crusade, have the sole right to exist or occupy the thought and knowledge space in human minds ? Or, is their crusade merely reactive, historically speaking, against the ( highly unreasonable and destructive ) religious crusades and millenia - long ( unreasonably subjugatory ) proselytation efforts of ( mono ) theists ? Why can't the theists realise that atheism is inevitable and atheists see the Whole, the Unity, as Universe surely is, even though it is the parts that are apparent to us ? What prevents the understanding, even among people who are so well informed, read, educated, and intellectually endowed ? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
