Religious conversions

Hey Maz don't put attention to this person it is a blabbermouth, he does not s**t and does not get of the pot.
Yeah, I noticed.
I see them as very much real beings with their own personalities. That does not preclude them from being forces of nature, both unto themselves and as representations or personifications of natural phenomena.
Accepted? By what? For whom? When did I say anything about doing it to gain acceptance?
If I would put it to anything, it's the direct experience of the gods in ritual practice, seeing or feeling them vividly. That is what mystical experiences are about---and I hope this answers another question put forth between now and my previous post, which was asking me to define mystical experiences.
Didn't you convert from Judaism to Christianity?
Intellectually you are. Maturity-wise, you most certainly are.
Sticks and stones may break my bones... and you still haven't answered my question. What do you mean by "material"?
Mazulu,
Please stop polluting this thread with your insults.
Read the opening post and tell us about your religious conversion experience, if you had one. If not, then please stay out of this thread. It has a topic. You can start your own "Let's insult each other over our religious differences" thread if you like, or use one of the many other such threads that are already being used for that purpose.

Why don't you take this forum and shove it up your ass! Go ahead and ban me permanently. I don't care what you think you know about science or logic. You are all bad people and I wish to be separated from you forever.

Okay.
Banned for yet again insulting another member in this thread and in other threads, for posting off topic posts, for flaming, for childish insults and for behaving like a spoilt brat in general. Hopefully the time off will allow you to get an education in how you conduct yourself in public forums and in general. And perhaps you can spend this time deciding why you post on a Science site if you don't care about science or logic.

No personal insults on thread before this one.

Only if one does not consider Mazulu's trolling and flaming and derogatory generalisations about all atheists to be insulting of course..
Robbitybob, if you have a complaint to make about someone's post, then please use the report function. Please do not pepper threads with what you are currently peppering them with.
There is a thread topic. Please discuss that.
As I was saying it appears you are affected by the "trolling" as you call it, only when it is against the atheists, because it affects you. But I am offended by remarks just as offensive when they are made against religious people in general.
So it could be "actions" (trolling) as you said the other day, but you only notice one type of action not both types. Basically you would have to be an agnostic to moderate a forum like this fairly.
That is a general insult. It is not personal.
"Atheists are liars."
"Balerion is a liar." Which one was the personal insult?
He was talking about us, the people in this thread. That's personal.
I'm sorry did I misunderstand, I thought you implied that from your previous post. I.E. "I'd always had an interest in ancient mythology and during High School I found out that people today were practising the revival of polytheism, which I thought was pretty nifty." and "It just kinda felt like "coming home", if anything."Hapsberg said:
I always thought that the term "coming home" was one of feeling safe and being accepted, being part of the family. Perhaps I was wrong.
Could you possibly be more specific, because what you are saying is intangible to us. What direct experiences? From whence did they come? How do you feel or see them vividly? Did you do anything to invoke these experiences? Or what do you think could have happened to invoke them?hapsberg said:
These are the answers we are interested in. Thank you.
I'll look into the law before taking legal action against you. Defamation of my character will not be taken lightly.
Especially now that I have been converted to the Christians.
Did you know the Christians have Holy Spirit Power?

What happened? Did somebody say something that challenged some of your beliefs?
I don't think I did, did I? Calling me a bad person seems like an over-reaction to me. Unless you can explain why I'm a bad person, of course.
Well, I guess I'll see if you decide to return. :shrug:
If you do, an apology for your rude behaviour would be appreciated.
