I am a Buddhist/Atheist so please forgive my naive questions:
1) Jesus was a Jew. Why do Christians worship a Jew? If they know this and still worship him, then why not just be Jews?
2) In Genesis it states that the Earth was created first then the heavens. There are many many stars that have been around longer than the Earth. So what gives?
Also Genesis never mentions dinosaurs. Why leave out or overlook giant lizards?
I dont really understand.

Nobody understand the bible, it is something mythical and belongs to people who wants to believe in it, you can believe in S.Hawkings (the universe) or (Mahabharata) both are the same and nothing is accurate and for sure?if it is stick with your soul and calm you down in this chaos, then that?s the one to follow and nothing else matter in my opinion.

Jesus was Jew and still is Jew (last time I?ve checked), the Christianity is oppositional belief system that rose against the stupidity of Jews at that time for worshiping the God and Jesus was a rebel/martyr that they used him for the revolution against the Jew?s high priests. In fact there is a doubt that he never existed..! If you read the bible you never see a trace of person called Jesus but a myth and what have been said (according to the disciples) like Mohammad or Moses, those books ?bible, Koran, Torah? is full of (what the others says about their prophet?s actions from their point of view.. not a solid facts).?..nobody can claim that they are JEW, it is the belief system that separate peoples from one another, beside the JEW belief system is belong to much older system rose from (Babylonian believes) say 6-8000 years before even Moses or Jehovah shows up?!! So the root of that religion is much, much deeper than anyone else could imagine.

About those reptiles ?.according to science?they?ve been discovered only 150+ years ago..!! Now the question is? where the hell they?ve been hiding so long..?? They are also under the questions my friend !! 50,000 years of humanity and nobody mention those lizards until 150 years ago?.don?t you think is kind of strange..??
As I said above? nothing is for certain and for sure.

Goodness. You know, I've been meaning to ask you some questions about religion Parallax, but I think this post will tide me over for awhile. 🙂 Lots of information...I have to admit, I always wondered about the Dinosaur thing too.

In the interim (the time between my reading this post, fully absorbing it and thinking of new questions, lol), I have one for you already. I have a Bible that a friend of mine gave to me as a birthday present a few years ago (she had my name engraved on the front, isn't that sweet! With a little butterfly engraving next to it! I just thought it was nice) - anyway, it is not the traditional "King James" version (which I have enjoyed reading little bits of here and there, because I really like the style of writing...and of course many of the moral ideals within...😛). The version I have is called "The New Living Translation", and it is written in quite modern English, apparently with the goal of making the bible easier to understand. While I appreciate this, every time I read it I can't help but wonder whether "this is the real thing"....I'm afraid that maybe too much has been lost in translation (I hated that movie, btw, did you ever see it?). I'm afraid that the words I'm reading are not entirely what God had in mind. Of course I know that the original language was Hebrew (correct?) and so it's not going to be a million percent accurate, but still...would you suggest that I get myself a King James bible, or do you think I'm not missing anything by reading a modernized version?

I just grabbed my bible and this is how it begins:

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was empty, a formless mass cloaked in darkness. And the spirit of God was hovering over its surface. Then God said, "let there be light", and there was light. And God saw that it was good. Then he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light "day" and the darkness "night". Together these made up one day."

All of this is easily understood, but I remember the King James version sounding very different.

NOTHING IS FOR SURE?.NOTHING IS CERTAIN?

Prallax/luz you guys rocks......hehe

I never said that the site is a fact, it?s just a different approach to what we called and accepted as (the facts).. you see?there is a war of identity there, like who was first, or who is the oldest or who has right?usual stuff?. their believer shakes their head and laugh at the other side believers and vice versa, (for me? I deny both sides..).

But one thing is important to know like:

Christianity has been changed (not evolved) over the years with so many branches out of it?s main frame like a huge octopus and continue to do so, for what purpose..?? Global religion..?? Who?s deciding what other people must believe..??(it certainly not GOD), where all these ends..?? how..?? and so on and so on..!!

I care less about Judaism cause they are the chosen one?or whatever crap they may call themselves?!!

I don?t believe in any God or Gods in any form and I don?t belong to no religion but one, call it (HUMANITY).our past is manipulated with falsification of dates/encounters and heavenly experiences (parallax; you can?t deny it), that site is one of the 100,000s of other sites in net known as Religion Conspiracies, I don?t say I accept what they say but what they say makes me stop and think, it push me to go further to find a true identity for humanity and our origins, wherever it is.

That astounds me that you were never a good student in the classroom. I would never have guessed that. In fact I think of you as one of the smartest people around here. If I knew nothing about your educational career, but still had read all of your posts I would have thought you had aced just about every class in school, gone to an Ivy League college, had a degree in at least three subjects (and my guesses would be Theology, Literature and Political Science), and that you had authored several books. 🙂 And not a word of that is an exaggeration, I really would have guessed all of that.

Professor, may I please have an extension on my deadline? I'm expecting a boy around 3 am and I really won't have the time to write my essay...*bats eyelashes* 😛

Facinating sites Qbone...thanks for sharing!

This topic of one religion has plagued my mind for ages. It all started with my upbringing in South Africa living on what was fortunatley for me the fairer side of the Apartheid fence. A secular state run by hypocrits who would daily spew forth the "re-written" teachings of Jesus and how Christianity is the one true religeon for all mankind but only if you're white...—

What...—

Lets look at the two current show down...

George W prays to the Christian God for the strength to make the right decisions but actually only listens to his administration and their "intelligence" gathered before making a decision...
Osama and that lot all pray to their Muslim God and action their lives accordingly too...but atleast they give their God the glory of their actions.

Who's right and who's wrong...—

I am inclined to agree with Qbone on this one. We need to learn humanity first before we are in any kind of position to try and comprehend the omnipotence of God...what God encompasses and only then...how we fit into the picture.

We as humans are all connected yes...we are all one yes...we are all brothers and sisters yes...so why then do we hide within our societies we build around ourselves and adopt a cattle mentality of just wanting to be Joe soap with a nice wife, car and a picket white fence.

When will we realise that our unique lives here and now need to be understood and embrassed before we have the self control and FAITH within ourselves to stand up for what we believe OURSELVES to be right and not just blindly adopt the attitudes of our peers because that way we aren't rideculed...—

Take any great person in our history that has done anything worth while...they largley were rideculed some even executed. I mean the great composers, inventers, astrologers...what do they all have in common...they stood out...they were like no others around them because they believed in themselves and their ideas and accordingly their legacy lives on through us.

I've kinda gone off track a bit here but similarly I believe it is not until we as individuals can find faith, pride and meaning in ourselves that we will be anywhere near ready to comprehend God.

Loads of people have tried and loads still do and the fact still remains that as much as we might know ourselves to be true we can never 100% impart that knowledge upon others...they will have their own point of view and believe what they do themselves.

What is important is that we share...we debate...we use common sense and we quest...

"seek and ye shall find"...

Parallax,
whew! you ask alot of questions. i dont know if im the knowlegable person you think i am but i will do my best...

1)the buddha: depends on what buddha you want. who is it asking the question and who does that person think it is? who is wanting, why and what is want? but im digressing(i think). historically, siddhartha was the first "recorded" buddha. he was just a person like you and i. he became labeled a "buddha"(meaning enlightened one-its not really the dude's name) because he awakened himself from the dream of existence. if you are curious as to how, i can run that down for you sometime later.
the term "buddha" also refers to everyone on this planet. you are [a]buddha, i am[a]buddha, he is, she is, and so on. buddha just meaning essential self, awakened self. even if one is not awakened, one still is[a] buddha. they call it buddha-nature. the self-realizing-self-of-no-self-realizing...
2)afterlife: what afterlife? as a buddhist, and furthermore as a human i only know this life. i cant really speak about something i know nothing about. why wonder about such stuff?
3)Charity? sure. good will is good stuff. buddhists take it a little further (only grammatically perhaps) and call it compassion.
4)Not being nice: well basically the same as anyone else-if you're not nice to someone typically they will get pissed off and then you have to say im sorry. same deal.
5)Cars: yeah buddhist can drive cars, and sometimes they crash them (too much meditation)-just kidding...
6)Panted women: yes i think pants are okay on buddhist women. though if they are monks/nuns then i suppose robes are all they wear. and if all one has are robes, why would one want to wear pants anyways? also it depends on the region. ive seen pants as traditional garb of japanese monks.
7)sore butt: yes. but after a while there is a loss of body experience, so the soreness only becomes appearant after one comes out of a long sitting. also we must question butt and the nature of buttness.
8)Atheism/Buddhism: I study zen buddhism. from my knowledge the central area of focus/defocusing is the self/no self. its really a science of the mind and spirit-developing awareness and observation. buddhists have no central deity form to "worship". i have never met jesus or god so i cannot follow someone that appearantly does not exist-especially if the "i" who is doing the worshipping may not exist either...so you see buddhsim and atheism work well together. but dont get me wrong, there are buddhsts that mix with other religions as well. its more a science than a religion.
9)i dont really recall how i became involved in buddhism. i did not seek it or join a group or seminar...hmm. good question.
10)i guess its the study that attracts me to buddhism. i like the human mind. i like the fact that our species has such great mental faculties that we really know very little about. i also like the relaxed attitude about zen.
11) i dont pray at all.
12) no buddha did not mention anything about dinosaurs. i dont think he was alive when they were. the buddha also doesnt really say much about how we got "here"(where is here and who and how is one perceiving here?).
13) Never counted that tootsie roll pop thing. i do like them though-definately chocolate if you were wondering.
14) sacred texts: there are many. all differing depending on what sect of buddhism. but basically all stemming from the first: the four noble truths and the eight fold path.
15) the fat thing. no i dont think you will get fat if you study buddhism. some buddhas are depicted as fat i think because it is representative of a happy, jolly, generous and bountiful spirit. that buddha is sometimes referred to as the "laughing buddha" who was really not buddha at all but a famous monk (who's name i have forgotten). oops.
16) y'know i dont know if buddha could take bruce lee. but considering bruce is dead and all and im alive...
17) y

No parallex... thats wrong....!! sorry that you underestimate my intelligence..😢

Those books and internet sites are not my source of information... I just read those as novel or something to (see over) as I said it before I don?t believe in religion and god (gods) and I really CAN prove it with facts and real source of information, the reason of my silence is because of I don?t want to start a debate and arguments on this board.

You see?.. when you in war and start killing peoples for what you?ve believe in, and when you have a philosophical/theological belief, or just have a simple view over the life resources, then I?ll show you later? what you?ve suppose to believe..!!

It?s not simple and easy to deny and discard God?s role in our daily life and certainly not easy task to communicate with one that DO believe in GOD?.you can believe for what you have respect for?. I am not going to argue about it.. its your choice.. your life? but please?.. don?t get me wrong and simple..
Thanx..

Wow you guys got really pissed off...yeesh.
Parallax, if youre still reading these, do you remember writing this:

Only last night I was watching a program featuring a Buddhist Monk, that comes on one of the public stations. He was responding to a question that someone asked; about people who study Buddhism, and yet still use harsh words to one another and behave badly. He said it is not enough to study, we must put it into practice. Which is exactly what James in the New Testament meant when he said ?it is not enough to be hearers of the word, we must be doers of the word.? So again, thank you for sharing your faith with me. I hope I answered your questions as well. Let me leave you with the words of Gandhi who said:

?Live, as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn, as if you were to live forever.

oh, Q i put that post up for parallax in hopes that he read it.
asking questions is the best way and in fact all of the great thinkers of the past(considering they even existed) said in one way or another to find ones own path and not to follow them.
I hope that you didnt take my pissed comment to personally. its just the argument seemed to be getting out of hand. thats all...

No man.....
See... when you discard the God?s role in your life.. then you have nothing to worry about ?there is none to answer about your actions ,but your humans counter part?GOD is kind of excuses that we missuse his name in our everyday actions?.(in god?s name) just turn back the clock to 3000 years ago?see how many lives were lost in god?s name— and we all are children the same GOD after all? he/she is a fraud.
To HELL with this GOD? who ever he/she is..(this is the first fact)
I have more than 1000,000 of those facts that make anyone "with brain" godless in seconds?.but I still respect the one that has respect for that GOD..!!

Phew I've been missing out on this dicussion...

Hey Qbone...I've read all of your comments and replies and find them as Parallax does I'm sure extreamly thin on reason...

Please don't get me wrong here...you see I'm not obsessed with persuing fact as Parallax seems to be although I think he was more so replying to the poor factual content of most of the websites you shared.

As I said I do not search for 100% fact as a pre-requisite for credibility in religeous or spiritual discussion...what else is the diversity of life, an inquiring mind and open heart for...—
FAITH -> is the only thing that counts in any religion or belief, primarily we need faith in ourselves and then and only then can we place ourselves comfortably within our chosen "path/religeon/belief" with enough FAITH to keep us going moving forward to yet more questions...we as humans will NEVER have all the answers.

Faith aside though I still see nothing in writting to backup the possibility that you do actually know your "true nature and identity" as you say you do...whether it be true or not...please do share it with us.

You say above...
..."I really CAN prove it with facts and real source of information, the reason of my silence is because of I don?t want to start a debate and arguments on this board"...

That's hiding Qbone come on mate...it's a little late for an answer like that on the second page of this post after openly expressing your anti-semitic views all over the first...I mean what would any self repecting faithful Semite be inclined to feel towards some of your comments there...indeed if you are so sure of this "true nature and identity" of yours and supposedly ours too then why do you not stand proud as any self assured person would and share those views...Parallax does...I do...

Like I said...I'm not after concrete evidence even though you say you can produce facts in your post above just some form of an explination really...it's like you said above...

..."no power in this world can change my mind and (me in general)"...

Ummm...except YOU yourself Qbone...

Hey look...I would probably be the first to agree with you that the roots of Christianity are firmly embedded in a book riddled with holes and contradictions or that this particular religeon is not for me because I am weary of it's pre-occupation with advertising itself and with material gain. These things are totally un-natural to me and lead me to look else where...

I would love to hear your explination of your "true nature and identity" and also a further explination of a posting of yours above reading...

..."when you discard the God?s role in your life.. then you have nothing to worry about ?there is none to answer about your actions ,but your humans counter part"...

I mean sure I see kinda where you are comming from here but where is the purpose in life without an achievable state of perfection or a destination ie. God and enlightenment...

The unfortunate truth is that people fear God purely through ignorance of God and what God represents.
I mean ask yourself Qbone...what state would this world be in if people didn't fear the "possibility" of a judgement day before God...we certainly don't fear the courts of this world which is your only form of crime justification in a Godless world...nor do the human courts of this world always sentance the right person for that matter...—

Anyways...I digress now...please do share...

Hey QBone, Id like to bite this thread if I may...
Durrie-
Id like to suggest that it is fear that keeps us repressed as beautiful and full humans. As you said, people dont really fear the "law" of our society. This is true to some extent: the "good" people dont need it and the "bad" people dont abide by it. So what good are having laws? The same can apply for god. Take a hypothetical person who has grown up in the woods, say raised by wolves. This person who has no connective "training" from society will not believe in god. I can 99.9% gaurantee it ( the missing % is from the hypotheticalness of the situation). This person would probably be a "good" person-not by societal forms but by his freedom as a human. I doubt god would be necessary.
God is a learned concept. Just like science. I have never seen an atom before, probably never will. But I have faith that they exist.
The same hold true for dinosaurs, air, light wavicles, black holes, the shape of this planet, etc. Is it imperative that I believe in atoms or any other of the crap Ive never experienced before? Not really. Nothing would happen to me. The same holds true for god. Life goes on.
Take away the human element and all of reality stops existing.
Take away your body, your sensations, perceptions, thoughts, and your consciousness and what do you have? Where is god? Where are we as humans? Nowhere.
We are born-it sucks. We live-sucky things happen(as well as great things). We get sick and decrepit and then we die. Flat fact. At that point does it really matter if you have faith in god? Honestly I think the real fear is the inevitable cessation of our own existence and our ego's having to deal with it. Not if someone is going to judge us later on.

No man.. I am not hiding, never did?!! but as I know?it is not wroth it to use time and effort to try to waken up an arrogant mind (no offence), when people don?t want to change their view, its simply they don?t want..!! no matter how hard you try?they are just on denial ..!!

You?ve asked what I meant about the truth and identity..?? ok?.
To know your true identity you?ll have to let lose the old you (legacy identity) that has been (build) or (implanted) by your parents and their parents and so on in your head and field of visions?its your heritage, it is not what you are suppose to see, think and act, you are just a tool in your robot or (do as I say) or (OBEY) and (FEAR) community?!!
Let go the old (me) and find the (new me) based upon your own private investigations and visions?and oh yeah? this process really, really needs man to confront it..!! Collect as much as information you need..(As I?ve said it before the information?s are available for those who wants to collect it, or else it is crap.. "wrong food for the wrong brain to digest" do I have to spell it for you..?? you can?t feed the lions with the grass you know?.do you understand..?) when you are ready? and only then?..you can find the truth?.you can?t handle the truth when your eyes and head and sense of intelligent are blocked by sickness that we call it (legacy belief).
That?s why I don?t want to argue?it?s useless?
I?ll be around when you need me..

Thank you all to proving this fact one more time:

"Faith without doubt leads to moral arrogance."

First:

Parallax: I don?t have Semitism belief let alone anti-Semitism..!!(Just because I don?t believe in Judaism won?t make me anti-Semitist or Jews in general) I don?t believe in Christ so call me anti-Christ?or whatever..?? Go ahead? and continue to cookiemonster around with naming people, which are against your primitive and obscured ideas with "A book" that you call it "A fact"?DO I CARE..?? You are not a first one in the line, nor the last one.

You named me as a racist.. huh ?? It is your GOD chose those as chosen one "how about the rest of us..??" (including you), he/she is a racist too and contradicting itself because everyone "is" or at least "should be" alike in GOD?s eye?.!! You know?you and your kind? only "read" the holy books?never doubt about what you are reading that call you're it facts?..!! but what is amuse me, is you don?t feel to hear another type of opinions, and when someone representing you something as an alternative (reading)-(not believing) your whole damn holy world start to shaking and the first thing that pop in your narrow mind is blasphemy (replaced by "anti-thing" nowadays) and start a crusade against it?!! But again, brain washed people will always looking for some reason to show their anger and false altitude and compassions (resulting the lack of knowledge and un-imaginable amount of unknown fears of punishments from above. or just perhaps fear from A.D.L..!! or?.well?..just a SHOW OF... you cant scare me of with your words..and...huh.."facts"!!

2000 years ago someone said he was a Messiah and he was treated with a cross..!! (by the believers like you), if the same person pops up tomorrow and say woowww.. what the hell are you reading..?? its not what or how I meant—, you "believers" put him into asylum with straightjackets?. Something never changes...
What you guys need is fireworks and special visual effects to strengthen or making you believe (rules/books comes later?) you do not need facts for sure, your GOD/Gods need a brainless slaves that follow his order with no questions asked...!!
When you sitting on your armchair and from the comforts of your warm house with a full stomach, its easy to ignore the other side of the planet that a flood washing out 50.000 (humans) right into the sea in matter of minutes.. is this God?s will..?? Is it their punishments from above..??

millions of humans dies in hunger each damn year..is it because they are sinful..?? or got to be treated that way..?? or they were late and didnt catch the God for the "pact" sign up..? Am I still a bigot..??

I am not finished yet?..what about those kids..?? what is their sins..?? and why they have to die in sickness/hungers/wars?.. this GOD/GODS are "unknown" to every human child when they get born, and remains so until they get older and their beautiful minds get poisoned with adults ideas and belief, why don?t you chill out and start to thinking like the kids for a sec.." hm.. too tough for you..you dont have ball to that" they are a real human being?you and alike are the robots that follow the orders, and worse.. bend those orders for your own benefits?
get a life.... be HUMAN for a minute..

Reverend Parallax:

Reminding you that This board is called OPINION, You have a freedom of speech to representing for what seems to be your opinion (those links or many of those books, are there for the people who want to study or just hear the alternates..(The other side of the story?!!), why are you so fascist about it — Who are you to decide for what should be represented here..?? You don?t like it? you don?t read it, simple fact? Are you a watch dog for this board..?? Or this board is designed for you and your opinions only..?? Are you a member of inquisition bureaus?? Do you still believe the earth is flat?? (Vatican does not accepted it yet)
Are we still the centre of Universe?? What is your opinion about beings that are different from us? Do you accept those beings as a part of your God?s creation plan?? What IF they don?t believe in your GOD?? Are they also counted as anti-(thing)??

Your attitude proves what kind of a person you are and what kind of logic you use to get around the corners, your insinuating questions about Buddha shows exactly who you are and what is your intentions, TLH was brave enough to answer you truthfully with honour?
You people see things as black and white only.. "Like your book of truth?.it was dark, God said light and light shows up" (considering darkness was before lightness thou) , good/bad, right/wrong ..or as bush says "if you are not with us you are against us" (your comments about me, is as silly as your 43th. President)-(now.. move fast?!! call me anti American before someone else dose)
The fact is..!!! I CAN?T and I WON?T waste my time to DESCRIBE THE COLOURS TO A COLOUR BLINDED BEING LIKE YOU?

About my faith you've asked..??

Ny faith is not based and blocked by a BOOK of hoxes/fireworks and visual effects/MYTH/MURDER/HATE/BANN and PUNISHMENTS..!!
I do LOVE and believe in HUMANS with their all faults and wrongs rather than invisible GOD of yours and his/her PERFECTIONS and FRAUD holy books?that GOD, EXIST BECAUSE OF OUR EXISTENCE (NO humans— NO God) not the vice versa ?
cheers

Warning..!!
FOR THOSE WHOM ARE INTERESTED TO SEE THE OTHER SIDE OF THE POSSIBILITIES.


Here is the ?some? source of my information for WHY I DENY RELIGION GOD, HENCE THE RELIGION IN WHOLE ?with all extra links, credible documents and foot notes..

Link 1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_Design<BR>
Link 2: http://www.arn.org/id_faq.htm<BR>
Link 3: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panspermia<BR>
And something for your Christianity.

Link : http://www.essene.com/Church/Conspiracy/<BR>
You know? your religion what ever it is, is a political tool designed for one purpose only, TO DOMINATING AND TO CONTROLLING THE CROWDS..!! You guys abuse the other humans trust and overshadow their emotions by introducing your ultimate weapon FEAR, This accusation (for being anti-Semitist and bigot) by Parallax is a good example to how to warm up this weapon, he just looking for some excuses to.
1: re-introducing his point of view.
2: warm up a pointless debate (by accusing me as anti-semi), by knowing that the majority reacting negatively to the anti-semi word.
3: Misdirecting and attacking my post several times regardless to what have been said to an attempt for Dominate the topic.
4: Again?accused me to be bigot without even analysing the data (just looking for excuses to telling something against). It?s his main drive.

This is a classical way of (the believers) to over-dominating the crowds mind to suppressing their interest/ intelligent and halt their free will power for further investigations, by finding and overshadowing / abuse their emotions by using the sensitive words and continually mention it. (just follow the post from the beginning).
It is a tactical-political approach that have been used by (religion believers) for ages?all over the world? in every nation and races.
Go on Parallax.. keep it coming?!! if I find it worthy to answer, then I might follow, or else use your tricks on someone else than me.

Hey Prallax:

Homework for you, please explain the meaning of this to me..!!


-Jesus said to them [i.e., the "Jews"], "You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. . . . He who is of God hears the words of God; the reason why you do not hear them is you are not of God." (John 8:44-47)

-You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so do you. Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? And they killed those who announced beforehand the coming of the Righteous One, whom you have now betrayed and murdered, you who received the law as delivered by angels and did not keep it. (Acts 7:51-53)

-Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie -- behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and learn that I have loved you. (Rev. 3:9).

Does this make Jesus anti-semi too..??

The rest can be seen here.

Is that credible enough for you..?? I didn?t want to go further, but this is what you ask for.

Wooww..*stand and bows for the applause* thank you..!! thank you..!!

But?.wait?.!!You?ve missed me for 1000 miles here? AGAIN..!! Those are not my own word, but the manipulation of what it was once and miss judgemental point of "your" view?..!! As I?ve said it before "you don?t read the post, you don?t analyse it correctly, you just pick the line for your manipulative ego and for one purpose only"?!!.

This is another example of what religion "DO" to your brain and personality (one dimensional view?instead of multiple?!!) that?s the kind of answer I was really expected from you?..!! you are both manipulative and predictable.

Explanation:

You?ve used my sentence like "You see?.. When you in war and start killing peoples for what you?ve believe in, and when you have a philosophical/theological belief?"

The correct is: "You see?.. when you in war and start killing peoples for what you?ve believe in, and when you have a philosophical/theological belief, or just have a simple view over the life resources, then I?ll show you later? what you?ve suppose to believe..!!"

Duh?!! Have I mentioned that "I" killed someone..?

Yes? I was and still sometimes "IS" in battlefields with my trusty 35mm SLR (the only gun I?ve got and carry) and a "not pad" and a bags full of ammo called "negatives". See?.?? That?s different?! I am not an armchair, safe distance philosopher like you, surrounded with secured walls?!! I prefer to capture the moments and be there were several cultures, ideas, and belief collides with full power for REAL..!
I don?t like judging people from my armchair?I?d prefer rather to follow my human fellow man in misery than festivities and parties (this is my personal choice and I love it as a hot zone journalist).
My church is built up by the fragments of human bones and the only odour there is the gun powder and burned flesh, the only liquid there is human?s bloods.. (results of the religion collisions)..Now take a look at your church?.!! You and alike call yourself believer of the Jesus..?? Who do you kidding..?? really..!!.
STOP cheating yourself for a minute, live on EARTH instead of hanging with the heavenly creatures, STAY with the visible humans rather than invisible something up there, HELP the humanity for the sake of humanity NOT under the name of the church or groups or political agenda or what ever, GET OUT of your safe surrounding and SEE the reality and FEEL it FOR REAL for what?s going on..!!
Be HUMAN for a minute?

Another reality for the armchair philosopher..
You seem to be for long time sitting on your armchair with your bible..!!

Your own words: The last time I checked, no matter what the causes of war, you still need soldiers to fight them. Grown men, fully capable of individual thought and action. Capable of exploring their consciences and refusing to take up arms against their neighbor.

Right?haven?t you heard of court-martials punishments..? Long time jail sentences, for those who refuse to participations? A pushy Government controlled by religion forces..?? Ah?you breaking my heart.. GET OUT OF THAT CHAIR PREACHER?NOW..!! Or perhaps I am still reading too much of those conspiracy theories..??


?And you want to lecture the rest of us on humanity??

No comments?read above..!!

Cheers

I think that TLC has a perfect answer to explain my thought, so what he said is 80% of what I believe, you can not continue to live in harmony with double life path and still be on synch with the nature and your origin!! Its impossible task, what is important is to keep your integrity intact and be whole.

As your holy man said, "who lives by sword, shall die by sword". So, the choosing path is not a simple task when you KNOW what?s going on.

Some choose to stay with religion path, some choose counter religion, it?s very private and it unfortunately became completely integral part of our soul and body almost like we are programmed to carry it.
That sense of guilt and (what if, when I deny it) is a safety switch that make sure religion stick with us till we get die, just ask your self, Is there any evidence that heaven exist..? Have you?ve seen it? Does anyone got back from it to tell you how its look likes? its all Imagination with no proof. You build your house on solid ground with solid foundation but still, base your belief upon Imaginations, scary?!! Ask yourself is this logical..??

This is the real damnation of the legacy identity..!! (Inherit belief) from your parents and their parents and so on.. Its kind of you are USED to have that belief, not by your own choice.. For some is even deeper?and they can not live without it and they are completely blinded by it..!! Like our famous preacher in this topic.

Someday?somehow this must be stopped, the sooner the better for all of us?unfortunately the path is unsecured and the knowledge is so intelligent that it "choose you" rather than you "choose it" that?s why it is not available to everyone. But?.once it bless you with its existence it felts like 1000 orgasm pr sec. from one side you are eager to get more and from other side your physical form cant handle the pressure. This is the REAL GOD that gives you the opportunity to be with it forever, I mean literally forever..

This is what we call the "living universe" to take part with it?s creation without expectation. When you get disintegrated in to atoms or sub particles, you reincarnated with the knowledge form the previous form to a next available form (with your will power or randomized sequences) to just participate in the next creativities of the universe, it is simplest explanation I can come by for now
PS
-Don?t get wrong "the form" with your visual "form" (in our daily light spectrum)
-This is not are a religion or belief system.
-Don?t get it wrong with New age stuff like that it has nothing to do with it or Buddhist or what ever, its not belong to anyone or any race, hence there is no courses or books, teacher, leader, church, buildings, special magnetism places, special sitting or standing positions or special diet or what ever, no word in this world can describe it, still when this happen to you, you understand every word of it ?..That?s why they call it "the knowledge..!!" it is as old as universe itself. And unfortunately every religion in this world failed to recognise it, but the leaders of those religions?..See?124,000 prophets were presented till now, and none of those ever?I mean ever wrote anything about it?they?ve said something, but misinterpreted by those who wrote it down (lack of knowledge and vision).

So .. Clear yourself from the old patterns and thoughts?its not happen to you as long as you carry your OLD..!!
Hope that this was the answer you?d like to know.
cheers

TLH

As a human our felling and our mind is "Tabula rasa", or "blank slate"

Is the basic idea that individual human beings are born "blank" (with no built-in mental content), and that his or her identity is defined overwhelmingly by events after birth.

The ideology and the path of life and belief system, the way we are thinking and acting, a heritage from our parents, elders, and their respective point of view, behaviours and thoughts that we adopting from the people or systems we trust, develop and adopt feelings that are based upon on ?trusties? experiences, and so on, It is the legacy identity.

It?s a closest explanation I can provide for now?
Cheers

Thats cool. Thank you. I was just curious as I have never heard that terminology before. I understand and agree.

As for all that poop from before, I think Parallax's last post is pretty good in the part about hope and comfort. I think a lot of people in society need that sort of thing. Something to look foreward to in the future because of their lives being this way or that.
The problem is, I think its interesting that people will build a staircase to an already known(believed to be known) destination.
If people want to believe there is a heaven thats fine. Just a bit weird. Where did that come from?
