God sent angels to me when I was 18 and sat in the chill out arena at a rave.

Mind you, I had taken 12 E's, 4 gram's of whizz, half a trip, and several lines of coke. Did I mention the Jack Daniels too?


i had a dream that jesus came to talk to me.
i was watching a man dying on a cold hard table when i noticed a man in the corner staring intently at he dying man. i walked over to him and asked who he was. he replied jesus i then asked him what his opinion is on the state of affairs of man. he replied i am not concerned withthe world only your soul. at that point i saw the soul of the dying man split off from him and left with jesus without saying a word.

well it went on to say "this is a work of fiction. any semblance of characters to anyone living or dead is purely coincidental".

Laugh ? I was heard down the street ! (and I was a christian at that point in my life).

Any bible people still reading can you do some of that cool "quote for the situation" stuff? I love it, even rappers do it. Like someone is being bullied and someone with their brain full-o-bible says something from it and if they are wanting to be really clever they say Matthew 9 verse 7 or something like that, sounds cool.

I prefer kicking the #### outta the bullies personally, but whatever is good for you.

Dot Cotton from Eastenders is a bible quoter and there was Jules Winnfield in Pulp Fiction:

"And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them."

Would you feel better if I became Muslim? How can that be a real god, if you've already found the real god?


point of order: Jehovah and Allah are the same dude, dude.

that should rattle a few American fundamentalists !

for me personally, I reckon if there IS a god, its the same one for everybody - he just looks and acts differently depending on your culture / upbringing.

as to the 'god created universe, who created god ?' question - why couldnt god and the universe come into being at the same time ? or indeed why not say God IS the universe ? like the Minbari's belief system in Babylon 5:

the universe broke itself up into little pieces (humans, centauri, vorlons, etc) to try and better understand itself. but then, the Minbari were already way ahead of humanity now when they found Babylon 4 a thousand years previously !!
incidentally: JM Straczinski is an Atheist.

besides, the Genesis says god created the Earth, which isnt the universe !

Sounds like the Kabbalists and their vessel stuff.

Read about the Kabbalist creation story. That will freak you out. It was written thousands of years ago, yet is more or less word for word the big bang theory.

Yes. But does that mean if you're Jewish or Christian or Islamic it doesn't matter you get into heaven? The Evengelical Funnymetalists would say NO. They say only true way to get to heaven is through accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Thus their 'Jihad' to convert everyone even other Christians to their doctrines.


Quote:

This is a more friendly belief system then some others. Currently there's about 6 billion people on the planet if it was destoryed according to Evengelical Fundamentalism at least 4 Billion non-Chrisitans would not get to go to heaven and since numerous Christians worship falsely, such as Catholics, out of the remaining 2 Billion there's a significant number that don't get into heaven.

Hi BrianK,


Meet the new Pope, same as the old Pope?, .... truely outrageous!!!!!


"Won't Get Fooled Again"???


Refer to Post #318,

I don't know how many angels that guy saw, but I thought that the same angel came thrice (three being the number, hehe) times to tell him to go dig up those gold tablets. (I wonder if he tried to peel the gold off to get to that delicious chocolate inside? )

Appaently, being in the devine presence of such an awe inspiring sight of an angel takes THREE times for a person to realize they better remember and do as they're told. I think that any normal person would have been so freaked out that the FIRST visit they'ed remember to their grave.

while this is not limited to catholics i agree with your statements 100% anybody using the church(any church or religion) as a shield is dispicable especially if that person is allowed to do that. no i don't think this is too rough this is very true.


Hi jkirk,

Thank you for recognizing and accepting just how awful that was.

I in no way state that this is exclusively a Catholic problem. I don't know how far and wide reaching this is, into any and all other religions. Things of this nature, and of other unknown travesties may have/be occurring in any religious orders, around the world.


In case you are unaware of it, I am NOT exclusively anti-Christian, it is only that I have been most exposed to religions based on the bible, here in Canada.

I am certain that I could and would be able to find intolerable, therefore unacceptable reasoning in any and all other religious texts, of any other religions professing to know the "truth" and looking for my money, obedience, tireless proselytization, and "soul", among other things.


Like for instance the double standarded pathetic and ultra offensive behavior/acts of some Muslims in some Muslim countries where they will stone to death a woman for adultry, but I've yet to hear of it happening to a (married) man that does, or to the man that lured her into it. (I beleive some other religions, or even cultures practice this.)

How about, TO THIS DAY, people who believe in god, KEEP SLAVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mostly in Africa, I believe, which would make it mostly Muslims doing this. Although, let's NOT FORGET that, wages paid that are so, so, so, low, is ALSO disguised SLAVERY. This is a pathetic and most wretched practise!!!


Quote:
maybe we are talking two different things but as i understand it the concept of god is the same. it is the rest of the beliefs that don't match up. some aspects of beliefs overlap the 3 religions some don't.


So now they're the same, but different, but the same, let's fight, let's kill!!!! BTW, this is news to me, as I have zero to nil knowledge of the Koran.

It's weird that the Jehovah's Witnesses are so shunned, and yet they virtually have the same bible??
