episode 83: I am ???? all-around at rest regarding religion, organized crime, and sex!


“Religious skepticism Religious skepticism is skepticism regarding faith-based claims. Religious skeptics may focus on the core tenets of religions, such as the existence of divine beings, or reports of earthly miracles. A religious skeptic is not necessarily an atheist or agnostic. In the confrontation between Catholicism and the Protestant Reformation, Erasmus of Rotterdam used skepticism about our ability to discover religious truth to argue for fidelity to the established church. Historically, religious skepticism has had strong connections to philosophical skepticism (see above). The issue raised by religious skepticism is essential to our understanding of reality, or ontology, as well as to what we deem to be reliable knowledge. Since religious utterances are by nature, in most cases, about that which cannot be known through our physical senses, the question that arises is about the criteria that would allow us to make such statements in the first place. Theological statements will generally be based on belief in the reliability of revelation as transmitted through holy scriptures and originating with otherworldly experiences by holy men and women (founders of religions). Tradition and institutions are also generally acknowledged sources of religious certainty. None of these, however, involve the process of cognition in the ordinary sense; hence they easily become the target of skeptical attacks. The challenge can come from skeptically inclined individuals. It can also materialize in thought movements and even in the atmosphere of entire periods in history, such as the eighteenth-century Enlightenment, notably in France. A further source of religious certainty is that which can broadly be defined as mysticism and consists in a perceived direct contact with the otherworldly reality. Such claims are experiential, rather than theoretical in nature. The skeptical position towards such claims will generally be to acknowledge the reality of any particular mystical experience, but to explain it away as mere self-deception or as a mental problem. A softer form of religious skepticism would be to suspend judgment based on one’s inability to verify the validity of religious beliefs and the significance of so-called spiritual phenomena.” I’ll never completely reject the afterlife concepts and the durations of the afterlives are mysterious to me. As a figuratist, I interpret all religions, all religious texts, and all of the concepts of all religions metaphorically, symbolically, allegorically, and metaphysically. Folks in the organized crime world didn’t speak well. They relied on “Ebonics”, slang, broken English, and profanity to voice their thoughts. They badly needed Italics, transcripts, and translators for comprehension purposes. Derogatory slurs of all types were used within organized crime in my childhood. Uzi’s, road rages, vehicle accidents, bad drivers, gossip, wankstas, smear campaigns, character assassinations, character defamations, aggressive and angry drivers, vehicle crashes, penitentiaries, the death penalty, prison crimes, solitary confinement, traffic court, the owing payments to car tickets, the vehicle killings of pedestrians, entrapments, sneak attacks, ambushes, vehicles being towed, and fatal hit-and runs (intentional and unintentional) were used and were commonplace in organized crime in my childhood too. Jesus is said to have lived, been baptized and was crucified by most scholars, but some scholars disagree with most scholars on those three things actually occurring. They also disagree on why he was baptized and crucified. They argue with each other on why he lived. All of those things cause me intense confusion. As a sex partner (on-camera and in adult films), I’ll be learning, growing, and evolving for the better each and every time.) There is unexplainable good in life and unexplainable bad in life, and the unexplainable gray areas of life. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/support
