Sorry everyone couldn't help myself.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Alfred Tennyson', 'W')e are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Excellent article.
Are you saying that the bible is rotten to its very core all the way back to Constantine?

Is there not a "no" option?
I want to put out the fires of Hell, and burn down the rewards of Paradise. They block the way to God. I do not want to worship from fear of punishment or for the promise of reward, but simply for the love of God. - Rabia

Who debates that?

Yeah, now I'm not saying Raphael (good old impartial Raphael) is biased or stacked the options in one direction but there really is no way to disagree with the comments given the options. Oh well.

Yes, I noticed the date and thus my question as I did not believe Raphael my friend still felt the same. BTW I did not vote 8)

Its like this for alot of people, religion helps them so they go with it or it hurts them so they seek to destroy it or other. Doesnt really matter which religion as once they are bitten they are usually twice shy and then most people tend to see it all in black and white from that point on.

I really enjoy the satanist/devil worshipping types as they are no less dogmatic then the ones they oppose.
And the atheists who just like the satanists become an opposite of religion or spiritualism leaving nothing.
Who makes whom I ask?
Did you define yourself or have you allowed this world to define you?

That is why I promote Theosophy, personal spiritualism and alt religions above any one religion.

No Endofdays, not because I believe every word Blavatsky ever wrote.
I am not a tool...

Theosophy helped me connect with others having the same thoughts I was having long before the "internets" etc etc.
By the age of 9 I could lay some smacketh down upon the very religious people of my family and as I matured my ability to ask the hard questions developed to the point that they must have thought I was the devil in the flesh er some other such nonsense....

Man what a long strange trip it has been 8)
I only wish I could have brung everyone along with me for the ride. I would similarly like to fast forward through other peoples lives to see how they developed thier current "style".

In the words of a master $this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')hen one has reached maturity in the art, one will have a formless form. It is like ice dissolving in water. When one has no form, one can be all forms; when one has no style, he can fit in with any style.


It is Mental Kung Fu grasshoppers! There is no one way only one destination. Get good or get your asses handed to you every time.
Call me "new age" again ya freakin bible thumpers! :lol:

They believe they are sophisticated and learned in the arts.
All one can do is learn their style and beat them to a bloody pulp with it......Bring it on pilgrims, bring it on! 8)

To see the truth and lies in all things. It is good to know that you are here Raphael. Exploring with one eye what many cannot see with two.

"What mankind knows can in no way compare to that which mankind knows not"

"There is no religion higher then truth"

"Oh lanoo, a second to see, an eternity to believe"

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', ''')Council of Nicaea'


Go forth and spread the word of the lord so that we may ravage the minds of innocent sheeple, to forment wars so that we may reap large benefits. This book will make them docile and they will happily fork over a portion of their income to hear this great book spoken out loud every sunday.

Amen.
