This post is categorizing people based on if they believe in a Creator of the Universe or if they believe in cosmic chaos, or life on earth coming together based NOT on a Creator.
I have done a lot of studies in psychology, particular in the way people act and the differences between people of faith and of non-belief in God. One thing I would like to say is that people who do not believe are usually very intelligent people.
They have thought much and pondered the idea of spirituality and because of their own lack of evidence they have chose to view the world without faith.
They have, and rightly so, come to conclusions that they should believe only in what they know. Usually these people are methodical people. They are rational people, they think a lot and have reason behind the things they act and they things they think.
A lot of people without faith believe big in the idea of righteousness, which is also a very big agenda for those who have faith.
Now one of the problems in the world which make the people without faith truly believe that they are right over the faithful, is that religious people in society are wrong. There are too many people who believe in God, but are useless because they don't believe in being good people. So many people without faith see that some religious people put faith in their beliefs which are the product of myth. So instead of believing in lies they judge the degree of integrity they have based on the righteousness they demonstrate through their thoughts and actions. This will lead the person without faith to perceive they are right, because they are indeed right over many people who are religious.

The subconscious the bread, while the conscious is the butter that covers it. Or like what one member used to say all the time, "it's the tip of the ice berg".

That camel still going to heaven if actually does manage that feat.
Didnt know that, but on a side note, karma can mean work in sanskrit.
True, I guess I was being to generic but karma can be symonous with God, or even believed that it was an act of God. I was more or less under the impression where it mean don't be one, because (s)he is one.

The spiritual realm referred to in your post, interpreted through your explanation is created by the subconsiousness and that the ego is the fuel feeding its fire. The rationale mind is the mask worn over the ego and therefore the rationale person is blind to their own subconsious which is creating the spirtual realm, so the man of faith believes the truth of god resides in the spirtual realm, so faith is the mask over the ego of the religous man that feeds the fire of his ego, being the second ego that looks into the spirtual realm and sees God. So God is just another wind mill on the horizon of perception.
If you know what I mean

Are you figuring you've got it all nicely wrapped-up nicely, with a bow on top?
Is it a good feeling?
Enjoy it while it lasts.
So what does a person without a subconscious look, smell, sound, act like?
You write about others trying to provoke you, but are you not trying to provoke some kind of a reaction in others, merely by posting what you did?
