i hope that it is not offensive to (using your words) the "more educated" people because it is nothing more than ignorance.
ignorance: the state or fact of being ignorant; lack of knowledge, learning, information, etc.
ignorance doesn't offend me because i am ignorant too... anyone who is not omniscient is in the same boat.
How could I despise others when my eyes are veiled as well to the true reality of god and our existence?
Well... what i meant with "offensive" is that some people reacts so fiercily against the idea of God, that it seems they were offended by it... much like people used to be offended by the evolution theory ("WHO do you think youre calling a monkey???").Quote:

This is a very interesting post you have here Readytoride, I'll try to comment where my knowledge is available:
This isn't really true, it's just happened with other faiths. Mohammad did, after all, found Islam about 800 years ago (I'm probably way off, but it's much new than Christianity). Then in the 1860's, Baha'ula founded the Bah'ai religion with wisdom that actually impressed me more than any monotheistic religion I've seen yet. Really worth reading up on, and I think if any prophet sounds legit, he does.Quote:

December 25th has been passed down through many, many religions (probably seeing as it's the last day of the winter solstice), and for the Romans it stood long as a day of partying, drugs, and orgies. Now that's my kind of Christmas! :DQuote:

God's way is the only right one? I think that leaves open a very subjective philosophy, and who's faith constitutes an "accurate" following of God's word?
Many people believe that the Buddha's teachings are absolutely a message of God, but one that tries to put more emphasis on defining the human psyche, soul, and what we call consciousness. Many Buddhists even believe that Buddha was God, in a sense, much like Jesus is claimed to be a manifestation of God (though his actual literal deification is completely anti-Christian). In Buddhist philosophy, to attain enlightenment one would achieve what's known as "the extinction of self". Not the actual death of you, but the death or your ego. In achieving ego extinction, one separates the barriers from themself and the rest of the universe, thereby being liberated from all ignorance, evil, and suffering. Coming from a Buddhist perspective myself, to attain enlightenment is to become God; because even as Christians believe, God is an omni-present force. Thereby, by removing the barriers between yourself and all other existence, you take on the very nature that is God and become a part of "him".
You might want to be more careful about proof-reading; 'cause I honestly can't make out some of that... :wtf:Quote:

The popular date these days seems to be December 22nd, 2012. Originally made popular by the Mayan calender showing that this date marks a great shift for humanity, many other cultures seem to mark 2012 as the next stage in human "evolution" (not biologically).
I think it may be worthy of credence, but I'm highly suspicious that this is all fortold by various cultures because of astological consistencies. December 22nd is, after, the beginning of the winter Soltice (mythologically important), and the new Eon (which happens every 2,500 years or so) is due around this time.
Giving strength to the argument that these dates are based on ancient astrology, and not actual proven prophecies to be relied on.Quote:

Based on what? And why would God use such confusing measurements, calling something a "day" when it's not, and knowing this would confuse us?Quote:

Pagan's are not Satanists. The Catholic church indoctrinated the public with a lot of information that wasn't originally taught by Jesus, this included. Pagans, for the most part these days, are about nature worship in one form or another. To appreciate and revere God's creation doesn't seem all that terrible to me; better than our new religion or media pop culture and instant gratification.Quote:

The ID chip is indeed bullshit, though you seem to be greatly exagerating the situation based on any currently available information. Or are you assuming this because it fly's with your preconceptions well?Quote:

People have been matching up scriptural prophecies since they were made; and every generation was sure they all matched up, so the rapture was any day now. The last biggest movement of the imminant final battle was during the Korean war, which occured right after World War 2, which was right after the Great Depression, Right after World War 1. The prophecies were even more accurately fulfilled then and the bad shit going down was WAY bigger than what we're seeing today. Yet, they all insisted the big world-change was going to happen only a few years from then, just like they're saying today.
BTW, stating things very excitedly with exclamation marks doesn't really help your argument. People respond to evidence these days, so just saying...
And for God's sake man, wait 'till you're down on whatever you're on and write semi-coherently!
theres a higher power
dont know who it is or what
we are supposed to unload our so called problems to
the higher power
I wish theyd send me a cash flow from the bank of jesus
wtf
why do people have so much dam money????
shell oil is so not doing us right ((((
save us moses !
If you've always been using ego as far as you can remember..how can you come to an intelligent decision that God is'nt real when that decision was made within an illusion that will vanish if the truth is discovered. Your ego thinks it will die if God is discovered therefore it will do anything to distract you to keep you focused on it, of course its going to say God's not real God itself is its greatest fear.
I laugh to myself when I think about how some people think thier the shit like thier human body is some sort of wonderful thing up on a pedestal. It's hilarious acctually but hard to explain..
Good one, man... :thumbsup: Very good indeed... :thumbsup::thumbsup:Quote:
