Religion vs early adopters

in #religion6 years ago

I am watching an atheist YouTube called 'Best of Non Believers Amazing Arguments And Clever Comebacks'.

I do not really enjoy it. Most of the speakers do not really understand religion. Still, some of the speakers make good points, so I have watched both parts at least once. I even commented on the first of them:

I cannot even process the sheer amount of information. I will have to watch it a couple of times. My name is Yogi Darshan. I have briefly run a religious blog (www.yogidarshan.guru), yet I have to check whether some of the speeches invalidate my own beliefs. I cannot debunk them immediately. In fact I will have to probably incorporate claims made herein into my own beliefs, or change some of them. Three cheers to the authors of this compilation. I really appreciate this.

Still, I am disappointed especially with the second part, which portrays almost exclusively opponents of Christian monotheism, who probably do not understand progress in religion at all.

If you really have to criticize monotheism, why not educate yourself in a more up-to-date view, like Sikhism? Humanity's understanding of God has progressed in the last centuries! Virgin birth no longer plays a role in monotheism, at least not in all of it.

Early adopters

What I really want to talk about here is New Age.

New Age is not really well defined, and many bad things can be said about it.

New Age uses Christian metaphors to describe spiritual progress, while not necessarily being related to Christianity, just like office software uses the metaphor of scissors to describe the cut-paste functionality, which is not literally related to scissors:

I am a Pastafarian, are you familiar with my faith ?
