Stop believing.
"Don't Stop Believing." ♫
This sounds positive and encouraging.
What would a song encouraging people to "stop believing" sound like?
The opposite?

Like that John Mayer song.

The "Devil" that's your argument? My whole theory must be disregarded because a mythical horned creature has tricked me? You believe that's true, don't you.“Now the parable is this: the seed is the word of God. Those beside the road are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, so that they will not believe and be saved.” - Jesus of Nazareth
It isn’t Jesus who wants people to stop believing; it’s the devil who does.
You’re advocating what the devil desires. I’m advocating what Jesus of Nazareth desires.
Ah! Feelings. That's where these beliefs have most influence. After checking with ChatGPT if beliefs did have a processing region in the human brain, it found zero. I was correct that there isn't a singular area in our brain that stores and processes beliefs. After a belief is introduced into our minds they become managed by different processing areas, which not much is known about why that is either.I am a Lab Tech and have operated / calibrated many spectrometers. OES measuring the emissions of light. AA measuring the absorbance of light. It dawned on me that there must be spiritual wavelengths as well. My testimony is similar to the old Methodist Circuit Riders... "During church one day at the end of the month a second and very heavy snow fell. He could not wait to trudge his way to the peak, for his soul felt full and the morning sermon had opened his eyes to something. The minister had preached long and eloquently. His theme was that most of mankind did not respond to the call of God because they did not feel His lovingkindness." - RS Sheffey

I have a time machine. I can send you back there, although, it's not exactly as you and other people romanticize.I believe the churches as seven...
"The seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches." - Revelations 1:20
Ephesus - Messianic - Beginning with the Apostle to the Circumcision, Peter
Smyrna - Martyr - Beginning with the Apostle to the Un-Circumcision, Paul
Pergamos - Orthodoxy formed in this time... Pergos is a tower... Needed in the dark ages
Thyatira - Catholicism formed in this time - The spirit of Jezebel is to control and to dominate.
Sardis - Protestantism formed in this time- A sardius is a gem - elegant yet hard and rigid
Philadelphia - Wesleyism formed in this time - To be sanctioned is to acquire it with love.
Laodicea - Charismatic movement formed in this time - Beginning with DL Moody, the first to make money off of ministry
Candlesticks - Seven church congregations
Stars - Individuals within the congregations, all held in the right hand of Christ
Seals - The seven seals sealed each congregation within the lambs book of life
Angels - The current preacher to the congregation.
And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. - Revelation 5:4

I wish I could go back to true Philadelphian age churches.
The Merrimac Pentecostal Holiness Church... Wonderful people! When the old WW2 generation passed away the church went down with it. As much as I love the organization of the Pentecostal Holiness movement we are no good without good people. The old Pentecostal Holiness would weep like babies. If they were to look back to catch the amazed look in my eye they would weep, "The Holy Ghost! The Holy Ghost!" And point to all the souls slain about the altar.I have a time machine.

A dawning experience could be something. But you have to work out how to prove it further from being just a dawning moment.I am a Lab Tech and have operated / calibrated many spectrometers.

Hey! Don't you read the Bible? There's no good people. Why do Christian's keep referring to certain people as good? Only God is good. Although I don't believe in any of that, I'm just pointing out that Christian's do and why do they look for good people.The Merrimac Pentecostal Holiness Church... Wonderful people!

Remembering those of old. Without such lives I would be agnostic as well...Hey! Don't you read the Bible? They're no good people. Why do Christian's keep referring to certain people as good? Only God is good. Although I don't believe in any of that, I'm just pointing out that Christian's do.
Why would you be agnostic? Let me guess. Because the person in the photo is a veteran who defended the rights of freedom? Or is it you for some reason(?) Where's he sitting(A coffee shop?) Is it cold outside?(He's wearing a jacket with Columbia) Let me guess his age(80-85) Help me out here, your post is cryptic and intriguing.Remembering those of old.

You don't really need to change that equation at all.If E = mc2 then we can divide and conclude that...
Mass (m) = Energy (E/c2)
Hope... There are times when we have got to have faith and hope when there is no intellectual reality behind what we are believing and hoping for. Otherwise we will just sit there in a paralyzing state fear, despair, and sorrow.
Oh please give up this scaremongering nonsense. It's psychological abuse for which humanity should be thinking about declaring a crime much like hate crimes and other forms of abuse. No-one is on the path to destruction. That is a lie. We are all on the path of being changed into another form and we have already been many forms before this human form.He’s guiding you on the path that leads to destruction.
If you’ve read the NT hundreds of times, as you’ve claimed, then you know that you’ve rejected the life of the age to come which was offered you by Jesus.
Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, that I am God. - Isaiah 43:12Why would you be agnostic? Let me guess. Because the person in the photo is a veteran who defended the rights of freedom?

Wait!
Is he your father?
Did you just snap that photo of him for the purpose of this discussion?
(I really need to slow down)
It was your god that wanted Adam to stay in ignorance and not progress with more knowledge according to your false literal and silly interpretation of the Bible. It was the serpent who told the truth and said to Adam that to eat of the tree would bring new knowledge and understanding. It was your god who LIED to Adam using psychological scaremongering just as Christians use, saying that if he ate from the tree he would die. He did eat from the tree. He DID NOT die. God lied. God used scaremongering. God was the villain in that story.“Now the parable is this: the seed is the word of God. Those beside the road are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, so that they will not believe and be saved.” - Jesus of Nazareth

Even if we were to attempt... The human body has 30 trillion cells!
Of course not. You’ve substituted your belief - which you’ve publicly recognized and acknowledged is BS - for the biblical presentation of the devil and Jesus.The "Devil" that's your argument? My whole theory must be disregarded because a mythical horned creature has tricked me? You believe that's true, don't you.
1st, a pet peeve. There are only one kind of belief; individual and personal.How can human beings achieve peace with each other while retaining their personal beliefs?
