The thing about God: He doesn't exist (you do)

[hazetwostep]

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???").
But I personally dont think there is anything offensive about it, even cause i do believe in God.

Well I can understand WHY you may not.For 2,000 years realy we hadn't had anyone to say what is right and wrong like prophets for example.I believe Christianty has gotten far off track and we in America has dadly apotted Pagan worshipping example Christamas and the Easter Bunny in Easter.Jesus wasn't even born December modern day astronomy proves it was somewere near the Autumn!So thus we have lost our ways,so many differant churchs,so many differant ways one can't be right!God's way is ONLY right so find him while you seek you must know the TRUE ways.

My friends reading this Yahweh(God)while reviel himself by 2015 I promise you things are GOING TO HAPPEN shortly more and more then the apearance of a very evil man full of sins,lies,and deceit will arise and he will be the propechied Anti-Christ,Never More Horror!!This is no fairy tell becuase Yahweh promised the Jews there Messiah which was Jesus,it was pophecied THAT Jesus was coming a few hundreds year(or mabye thousand)before he came AND the date!!!

This will come to pass has far has the rapture I know it may be soon because in 2015 there will be a MAJOR astronamical event will be taken place!Scripture refers to this day to the Day of the Lord!!!there will be 2 Solar Eclipses with Lunar!!!In the Bible it says "The moon will be has blood and the sun will be darkened!!A Day in the bible isn't like our days becuase I believe a week is 7 1/2 years!But the day of the Lord isThe 2nd coming of Jesus!!!!Jesus comes back to rule the world with the saints for a 1,000 years!But sadly there won't much left of the world due to famine,drought,war,chemical warfare,the anti-christ makes you worship him and deslotes the 3rd temple that is about to be built in Jerusalem!You have to take a RFID tracking chip to come into the "New Age."The Anti-Christ will work WONDERS and make statues talk,shot fire balls from his fingers,induce plages,he'll be a PAGAN GOD in human form i.e.Satan's son!

The mark of the beast is the real i.d. act so they plan on inforcing it in 2010!Or you can't buy sell or eat,you can't do anything!Then anti-christ will break his 3 1/2 yr. peace treaty w/Isreal/Muslims and kill pepole for religon,rebels,or don't have the chip!

All of this was Propchied 1,000s of years ago!Bush furfilled some Prophetcies in Daniel!You will believe soon!Don't be decieved by false illusions and Churchs do often preach away from Scripture,he responses to the rightous if you have a good heart then are already halfway there.

This is a very interesting post you have here Readytoride, I'll try to comment where my knowledge is available:

For 2,000 years realy we hadn't had anyone to say what is right and wrong like prophets for example.

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.

I believe Christianty has gotten far off track and we in America ha[ve] [gl]adly apotted Pagan worshipping. Example; Christmas and the Easter Bunny in Easter.Jesus wasn't even born December modern day astronomy proves it was somewere near the Autumn!So thus we have lost our ways,so many differant churchs,so many differant ways one can't be right! God's way is ONLY right so find him while you seek you must know the TRUE ways.

You're absolutely right that Christianity has been re-shaped since it's inception; in fact all the written and orally-passed stories weren't collected into a single text 'till some 600 years after Jesus. Christmas is indeed not Jesus's birthday, but I think most Christians are aware of this and don't really consider it too substantial. It is, after all, about the honoring of his sacrifice. 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!
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".

My friends reading this Yahweh(God)while reviel himself by 2015 I promise you things are GOING TO HAPPEN shortly more and more then the apearance of a very evil man full of sins,lies,and deceit will arise and he will be the propechied Anti-Christ,Never More Horror!!This is no fairy tell becuase Yahweh promised the Jews there Messiah which was Jesus,it was pophecied THAT Jesus was coming a few hundreds year(or mabye thousand)before he came AND the date!!!

You might want to be more careful about proof-reading; 'cause I honestly can't make out some of that... :wtf:

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.

This will come to pass has far has the rapture I know it may be soon because in 2015 there will be a MAJOR astronamical event will be taken place!Scripture refers to this day to the Day of the Lord!!!there will be 2 Solar Eclipses with Lunar!!!In the Bible it says "The moon will be has blood and the sun will be darkened!!

Giving strength to the argument that these dates are based on ancient astrology, and not actual proven prophecies to be relied on.

A Day in the bible isn't like our days becuase I believe a week is 7 1/2 years!

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?

But the day of the Lord isThe 2nd coming of Jesus!!!!Jesus comes back to rule the world with the saints for a 1,000 years!But sadly there won't much left of the world due to famine,drought,war,chemical warfare,the anti-christ makes you worship him and deslotes the 3rd temple that is about to be built in Jerusalem!

OkyDoky.

You have to take a RFID tracking chip to come into the "New Age."The Anti-Christ will work WONDERS and make statues talk,shot fire balls from his fingers,induce plages,he'll be a PAGAN GOD in human form i.e.Satan's son!

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.

The mark of the beast is the real i.d. act so they plan on inforcing it in 2010!Or you can't buy sell or eat,you can't do anything!Then anti-christ will break his 3 1/2 yr. peace treaty w/Isreal/Muslims and kill pepole for religon,rebels,or don't have the chip!

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?

All of this was Propchied 1,000s of years ago!Bush furfilled some Prophetcies in Daniel!You will believe soon!Don't be decieved by false illusions and Churchs do often preach away from Scripture,he responses to the rightous if you have a good heart then are already halfway there.

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!

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..
