What did God say?

[turtle]

God spoke to me there once. We were just chillin on a bench and he whispered to me, "dat ass so fine," pointing to a black woman.

Turtle, please stop blaspheming in this thread, show some respect

flanneljesus--please respond to my 1256pm post today
that was for you.....

[fuse]

i thought this was a religion forum.....

Yes, this is where people come to express their thoughts about god/God and religion. Removal of this thread would be censorship. I find this thread incredibly interesting and positive. If you keep up this campaign to remove threads like this, I will be offended as well.

[FilmSnob]

Baudrillard save us.

[fuse]

Save yourself

[FilmSnob]

Save it for the dizzy-headed.

[fuse]

..save the ones who are too dizzy to be saved.

Turtle, dont mind Flannel Jesus, he is trying to be provocative. I am offended that you have the guts to come into an honest to God religion-thread and ask that it be removed from religion on account of your personal belief. Thanks fuse for backing me on this.

Pezer - you have proposed a God before, one of chaos. I can imagine he/it never speaks. But does he/it exist in any kind of appearance or occurrence?

My God also said to me that I need to stop asking certain questions because understanding the answer would mean my death.

[FilmSnob]

No, that god doesn't speak, only teases. The only reason to worship this god, in fact, is to see what following its teasing will get you, or where it will lead you. Doesn't take well to being approached directly...

Regarding whether the god has ever appeared to me, the answer is not that I know of. I would guess that most gods are impossible to "see."

[turtle]

fixed cross---i am very sorry that i offended you...i could have been more sensitive...i really was not going after you...i am having problems with the religion forum...in the process i have offended the wrong person...also walker and jesus should not get away with their shit on the religion forum...they are the ones that need to be told proper behavior on a spiritual religious forum...i saw them ridiculing you and i didnt like it...and felix should be getting after them..

[Flannel Jesus]

i dont think this should be left on the religion forum....

this is where you've shown intolerance. i don't see anybody demanding your threads be removed from the religion forum. you're the only intolerant one.

[Fixed Cross]

I am not God but are otherwise really just offended. if Turtles brain said it to you he is very pretty, so maybe not really god-like to you... he is more like the magnificent territory on the shoulder. God is mysterious and beyond, I'd assume I'm talking to engage myself. He is needed for example to the one who assembles the physical drugs by understanding from a superior future perspective.

We are only not using a couple of percent of our Flannel brain but God may say be offended that if he is me uncharted within the potentialities confusing of its Otherwise chemo-electrical nature he is required to attain a particular God... and which equals why ritual is often the divinity.

[FilmSnob]

I would be veeeery careful about worshipping drug gods.

We are not our usual selves on drugs...

[Fixed Cross]

Yes.

[Fixed Cross]

There is no need for me to believe in God and I do not think that He exists, but sometimes I believe in God. I do not disbelieve, neither am I convinced, but I care, somewhat, sometimes, for Gods existence; it affects me, this thought, "God" - and this is how come I can believe when my mind is at rest, and receive sometimes a strange reflection from this object of belief. Sometimes the belief in God allows a pathway for a thought for which the self has no ground and this can be interesting. Also dangerous, I suppose - which is I presume the nature of that answer; God: be careful my son, I do not really exist.

[FilmSnob]

Indeed, the god of the silent moments, which I think is the same god of extra-human nature.

[Calrid]

this thread would be better in hall of questions...
because it is irrelevant to todays problems...this is just who has a bigger sand pile...it has nothing to do with religion....

turtle--I respect your opinion, but fixed cross has presented a positive thesis not merely a question, so I'm going to retain the thread in the religion forum, mundane babbling posts notwithstanding. I'm a little surprised at your reaction. I would have thought that fixed cross's argument supporting personal religion would have resonated with you.

A very well made decision. Let's just stick to answering the questions first, we can troll the thread up later when the discussion is over. Or not, I mean we have some sort of ability to not talk shit, and mess about?

And I think that a very subjective God, would not appeal to people as well as an orthodox one, simply because it would produce so many diverse opinions, the religion would hardly get a foot hold with all the views, hence the Nicene council, a council invented to bring resolution to diverse ideologies around the lord. Probably why God became more orthodox with time. That in itself creates a problem, when you alienate the heretics, they spring up more and more often, just like Christians before the Romans and Jews. One man's heretic is another man's truth.

[FilmSnob]

One man's heretic is another man's truth.

What is YOUR truth, who is YOUR heretic?

I don't mean literally, I just think that, phrased like this, one gleans more of the actual significance of gods.

[Fixed Cross]

To ask also what one finds "spiritually abject" - of course all religions are focussed very strongly on this. Is there anything in the age of nihilism that can still be considered unholy? Or is it now strictly about personal preferences, taste? Perhaps heresy means objectivity.

No, I think there is unholyness, even in the age of nihilism.

Stupidity, for one, and will to stupidity, for another. Lack of curiosity and overzelous will to already know.

Objectivity I think fits into the theme I am sketching out, and indeed, I think, if not unholy yet, will soon become that.

Laborotoire Garnier, burn them!

True heresy has such an emotional context, labelling anyone with it is likely to produce a reaction.

If you are being honest, the emotions where there already.

Meh not with me I find heresy a humorous term used to make silly jokes about religion and religious science.

But yeah to the believer they are pumped full of emotive stuff.

[FilmSnob]

I guess you have simply never had strong feelings of enmity towards anyone... you must be an extremely easy-going guy!

No I am an extremely emotional guy, you couldn't be more wrong, but religion, well I am agnostic, it's hard to get fired up over it. You can push my buttons, and I will explode. Trust me.

[FilmSnob]

Well, there you go. A heretic is someone known to do the kinds of things that make you fly off the handle.
