Is it strange to have no actual belief in anything?

I believe its going to rain tomorrow, but I could be wrong. But that's okay because I'm not going to hamstring anyone who doesn't believe it's going to rain. ...and if I'm proved wrong, I'll shrug, smile and accept the truth.

Or I can cling to my belief furiously, get a bunch of radical rain people who believe the same way I do, and we can all start building an ark.

And if it does rain tomorrow? I'll be a great prophet! I'll be rich, powerful and adored by millions!

Geez, I hope it rains.

Will you build an evil ark? :thumbsup:

Evil? Of course not! Here, try the koolaide :)

It is my opinion that when you take the time to look at life and really take a look, I conclude nothing is by accident. Every small decision with our lives play great importance. We will go down the wrong road here and there and I know I have for sure, but if you reach the mindset that you need to do the right thing and stick by it, the good energy will at some point come back your way.

It is a tough task but no one has asked you for perfection. The best book I have ever read that ultimately changed the way I look at many things is James Redfield's " Celestine Prophecy". He convinced me that our lives are way more important than we think. Unfortunatley, on a level that we do not fully understand. We are getting closer as we as humans evolve. We are a chapter but a very important chapter in the show.

Of coarse any here believe what you chose to accept,.......Ok for One, You said "No one has been able to come back and tell us about it."
You are mistaken. Maurice Rawlings an atheist.......I'll back up.

Years ago, I heard an program, Where Maurice Rawlings was being interviewed, He was a Cardiologist. Cardiologist, regularly bring people back that are dead, apparently not for a critical time, However, they had Left, Just Like Elvis,.......Out of the Building. Ok?
When they were resuscitated, Some had an awesome experience,talked with others. Angelic, or family, tried to describe different things. The absolute joy.

Others where brought back from Hell experiences, They, absolutely Panicked, Freaked, Like ~ Had to be held down..........

I'm at work, don't have time to search,.......Please Google Dr. Maurice Rawlings, "Behind Deaths Door"!! I have never forgotten this interview. This was also at the time that Dr. Rawlings had experienced these things, He started interviewing these people. It SHOCKED him. Just as it had shocked the SHIT out of these people, I'm sure that many crapped themselves. Yeah it's disgusting to some, but, reality ain't pretty sometimes, as has been mentioned.

Look this is serious business, I care much for all here. I have so much fun, and have a place now where I can express things, and hopefully, encourage some,........Because God has encouraged me so much. This is why I am drawn back.

God seized me in such a Hugh way. In my early 20's. I went to some edgy places, with my wife, (girl friend at the time). "Beth Yeshua" during the community pickets and hassles. Inner city ministries' where some inner city ministers would come from New York city. Edgey ...Loved it.. We saw some weird stuff, when the demons in some would stand to attention. ..Baby,
Forget Hollywood, These things are impotent against the blood and name of Jesus.

It is His heart, that I feel for all of you here. I see myself privileged, that He drew me, to seek him.

Please Liston, this won't be hard. Jesus said forgive them, for they don't know what they do.............These among His final words.
I see, from all the substance I have had the luxury to receive and enjoy. That others here - have not. I don't see that many have any Christian, instruction, or experience that is real and not counterfeit religion,

It's not you fault.

This is from Isaiah: 53 Spoken, Years years prior, ask Shelbay she knows.
This is a prophecy about the one God would send, that all the sheep slaughtered................represented.


1 Who has believed our message
and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?

2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.

3 He was despised and rejected by men,
a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering.
Like one from whom men hide their faces
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

4 Surely he took up our infirmities
and carried our sorrows,
yet we considered him stricken by God,
smitten by him, and afflicted.

5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed.

6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.

7 He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before her shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.

8 By oppression [a] and judgment he was taken away.
And who can speak of his descendants?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
for the transgression of my people he was stricken. [b]

9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence,
nor was any deceit in his mouth.

10 Yet it was the LORD's will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
and though the LORD makes [c] his life a guilt offering,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.

11 After the suffering of his soul,
he will see the light of life [d] and be satisfied [e] ;
by his knowledge [f] my righteous servant will justify many,
and he will bear their iniquities.

12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, [g]
and he will divide the spoils with the strong, [h]
because he poured out his life unto death,
and was numbered with the transgressors.
For he bore the sin of many,
and made intercession for the transgressors.


If you really want to know, Let me ask you a yes or no question.....
If He Is real, and the only true and living God, as He is described in the Bible. Are you willing to allow Him to lay his hand uppon you to bring you to a place to where you will know Him, and His son..... It's very simple.. No Isle, No stupid, organist, GIVE A BREAK, Just a Yes........or..............NO!

Ya know, I think I'll start my First Thread. Yes Or No Poll. I BET YOU.... you will be suprised.

Please, Google, Dr. Rawlings. "behind deaths door". I never read the book, but the innerview was enough. I SHOOK him out of atheism.

Explain...:smokin: please.

What I mean by what I posted is that Karma is a concept, and if you believe that Karma exists, you can use it to its fullest potential.

If you want to live a completely good life, you should always do completely good things. I have experienced Karma in this manner and I can assure you that it is true.

The only problem is that most people don't believe in Karma, let alone anything else. Many people believe they are average people because it is socially unacceptable in all societies of Earth to believe otherwise. The power of belief is astounding.

aww shit...i'm fucked up.

:rasta:

I believe that each person must see the light their own way.

This is how I see the Universe.

God is whatever brings out the best in you: love for others, pure love yourself and the world.

There is no absolute good or evil, but there is harm and healing, yin and yang, positive light energy and the lack of energy.

On top of the usual yin and yang forces in the universe, there's other stuff that I throw in to my belief system.

electrons are high energy, and low mass (or High kinetic energy, low potential energy)

Protons are high mass, low energy.

Hot and cold are related to the sun, the sun is hot, the lack thereof is cold.

All of existence is built up out of a conflict: The splitting apart of energy or mass, and the reuinfication of energy and mass.
(The sun is both creation and destruction, it makes energy, either by splitting or fusing atoms, and it can preserve or destroy life.)


War, the universe, conflict, is always like the splitting apart and bringing together of mass or energy, or people, at the same time.

I think that all people have multple sides to them: The secretive side, the friendly side, the "at work" personailty.

And all people exhibit energy differently. The people who exert positive energy in all directions tend to be happier, with what they have but also looking to make positive changes around them.

The people who bottle up energy, and keep things below the surface, and not express themselves enough tend to be perceived as tired, depressed, or negative, even though they may just be having a bad day.

The key to happiness is to exert energy, positive energy, in all directions...

Therefore I am sending out thoughts of karma, and love out to all of you. Yes, I know its hippy ish. I wish I could send out money to you all, money for education, and change. :-)

I guess for now we will have to do with placing our currency, our faith, in good thoughts.

Please send some love to someone you know..pass the good karma along :-)
