    What I'm pointing out is that you can be certain that almost nothing in the New Testament ever happened the way it's described, even the crucifixion of somebody who was so superhuman that he could barely persuade twelve people to follow him in an age when there were hundreds of religions with thousands of followers each.


    What made Christianity the market leader in religions was the Ray Kroc* guy/s, the man/men who took the crucifiction story and the carcass of one of hundreds of religions at that time and built the elaborate fairy tale of Christianity around it, creating the market-leading franchise we see today. Christianity was just another failed startup till the Kroc guy saw the potential in the crucifixion story and went about building the franchise.


    The "let he who is without sin"/"give unto Caesar" bits have their equivalents in all the major world religions. Every religion has a big bunch of moral fables/parables etc. that show the wiseness and munificence of their particular god/s. Things that push the buttons in your head that make you think, yep, this is the religion for me. This, out of the thousands of different franchises available is the one I'm going to follow.

    *Ray Kroc was the salesman who walked into a California restaurant run by the McDonald brothers, saw the potential, bought them out and built replica restaurants all over America, eventually creating the multinational we all know and love today.

    Relax, pal, I respect everyone's opinion even if I don't agree with it.
    Once in awhile, get outside in fresh air, take a deep breath & with a deep sigh, let out all the things that's bottled up inside you & be free, & you'll get a glimpse of nirvana.

    From a physical standpoint or left hemishphere analytical view that is very close to what happened.
    From the other side of what we are or can become there is more to it again and more sinister.
    From the spiritual side that brought the message (through care and love extended) the sacred practices brought out into a form that all could finally understand without guilt ,fear or judgment if they only go natural and feel it, instead of think it all out.

    The innner way home to who you really are was removed and disguised by the Roman Church so that fear shone out of the New testement, judgment and guilt.
    These things are not of God,
    but are of one side of the human mental /spititual makeup if the balancing side is lost to you.
    They hid the way into that of side of you.
    You will never find it on an external search.
    (Like looking for love from someone else when your own love for you is missing)

    The warnings from within scripture were turned into threats.
    The warnings about just how far you can choose to fall yourself became threats so they could control you also.
    The warnings about judgment became an excuse for why you can be judged in return instead of the simple warning that what you give out you also attract back to you.

    These truths are still there but you have read below the lines that were juggeled to suit the conquers of the time who dumped their own religion because it was becomming unpopular for the growing Christian faith which they took on for themselves remoulded and then made a law to state that you have to practice it their way or your going to be executed by them!
    This they have repeated through all history.

    This same church now owns a country that is not answerable to any other country (Its the vatican).
    They teach that God is outside of you and you have to go through them to get to him. False
    They teach that you have to confess to them and they in Gods place will forgive you! false.
    They teach that the Sabbath is Sunday instead of Saturday! more false teaching.
    They are the wolves in sheeps clothing ,the ones dressed in scarlet that 'the revelations' warns you about.
    There is only one way to meet your God and that is to go within yourself and search there. The ways to this they removed except for a few passages that they missed and accidently left in their book.

    There isn't a god, just a lot of people who believe in various gods. Recently we got so developed that we could work out how we got here and it's nothing to do with any big ghost in the sky. If our planet was orbiting a little closer or a little further away from the sun we'd be a barren planet and life on earth would never have existed. We're evolved organic matter. We're born and eventually we die. End of story.

    And there's no truth in any scripture, just a bunch of moral parables and fables from popular folk history of the time written by religious nuts of the time. These things were written weaved together with a bit of fire and brimstone and altered over centuries to perfect the message, to better fool people into believing all that crap and sticking with it throughout their lives and coincidentally handing their hard-earned over to whichever religion they followed.

    Having said all that religions can give people a handy moral code to live their life by and do help those less fortunate to some extent. But you can achieve the same thing by nonreligious means. Personally I like watching Sesame Street with my girl. I think if everybody watched Sesame Street and tried to live their lives by its moral strictures then the world would be a nicer place.

    Although I have flirted with Pastafarianism. I like the beer volcanoes and stripper factories they have in their heaven. Even their hell has them, although the beer is stale and the strippers all have VD.

    God is only a word if you think that God looks like the picutres from the old artists its a long way off,and yourrigt there is no such thing.

    There is however a certain balance that is natural within the universe.
    This forming balance can be tracked through geometry.IF you view it it is more than any coincedence could produce in a billion hits it couldnt map it out more ingeniously.
    It has come to the attention of physists that molecules can dissapear and reappear from within their view.

    It is only because they are looking at things only through physical eyes and analysing them from that one view point that they cant see any further into why or where exactly.
    This goes the same for anyone like your self who claims only the physical exists,that there is no meaning behind anything and that coincedence caused the whole thing.
    Until you choose to see from within from the depths that dominate your molecular structure being your full self on more levels than just from the 'taught' mental perception; you can only come out of one side of those two halves of your brain and that left side of yours will dominate all of what you can see.
    That is a major part of the first seperation from what always is.

    That's because we humans are made to percieve and think in a limited way. If there was a God, naturally He should be someone who is infinitely more complicated than us and therefore not within the grasp of our limited mind. Our physical mind is basically made to perceive only what is necessary for our survivor. It is the mind that says, 'there ain't no god 'cause can't see him;' it is the mind that says,'plant grows out of the ground because the dna in the seeds helps certain chemical reactions to occur...' etc., etc., and dismisses everything we can't explain as just being 'natural.' But you see, this tiny mind of ours - and yours is no exception, kirk - fails to ask what drives those plants to shoot out of the ground, or what drives all creatures to recreate or procreate itself. There must be some force that drives them, that life force. Our limited mind tends to dismiss everything we can't explain with a convenient catch-all phrase, 'cause it's natural, but ask yourself what is natural. So you see, there is this unseen life force that propel every life in this world, never mind if it only works under certain condition. So what is this life force that so loves life? As I've pointed out in my blogs, it's must be one form of energy emanating from somewhere, and as I've pointed out there, everything in this world is basically an energy and the universe itself is one big pulsating blob of energy. And our thought that direct our ways is itself an energy and so is it not possible that there is some universal thought or mind, that universal control center, that loves to create life, that direct all the activities in this world? that naturally must be complicated beyond our imagination? Could this be God? or could He be God?

    By the way kirk, I love your avatar.

    We are Gods.
    We are a part of ONE that chose to seperate and go forth so as to experience other energy forms from a diffenert point of view than just static "being".
    The split and the new point of view origially being male /female, then reproducing which is where the sacred geometry expression of one plus one equals three comes from.
    The triangle.The trinity. Father /mother/ son/ daughter >
    Outwards growing yet expanding away from the ONE and out and out finally down and down into compressed light and love energy forming into dense matter within the 3rd dimension of one in billions of solar systems.
    Parts of the real you couldnt make it here into this density.

    If I say to you,there is a short cut home and you say to me "there is no home" and you refuse to turn around and keep going towards the seperation ,eventually ,soon actually, you will be swimming against the tide and life in which ever form you choose at that moment will be so hard.
    Eventually because what you hold dear to you externally will (cease to be in that condition); you will have to look inwards within yourself instead of continuing your search outwards as the false religions still all state you must.
    MAny people when they reach the end of a physical line of something and that part of their world dissapears see why it occured and they take its lead and they are free from it from that point on.

    Its like all people in this density firstly search for love from others and are addicted to what they think is real love, love that they find out side of themsleves.

    Real love is found within you and yours ,it never ceases because it is unconditional ;unless you emit hatred and make yourself spin in the reverse direction to the universal way then you are destroying you and yours and that can be addictive for a while.

    External love that is found outside of you is found in many ways, it is smaller pieces of the truth and it is conditional love and cannot last outside of its own condition.

    All of the answers are within all of us it just takes you to want to take the first step on the journey back away from the speration from your higher self. There are stages before the turn and one of them is disbeliving everything unless you can touch it. Another is hating One or even the thought of only One !

    ONE plus one equals three cannot be comprehended by those who choose only to belive that one plus one can only ever add up to two;
    All rules change interdimesionally there are no boundaries ,no definates, no conditions when you choose truth.

    Your eyes will tell you that we spin around a sun and they will also tell you that it all revolves around a black hole.
    Black holes are not what they seem from this low point of view and from this density or from the brain which is made from within this density. Our findings and measurments are only from one point of view and from a long way down from what we trully are.

    Andre, nice thread. I'll make some comments here whenever I have some spare time. Just little busy for now.
    Once in awhile, get outside in fresh air, take a deep breath & with a deep sigh, let out all the things that's bottled up inside you & be free, & you'll get a glimpse of nirvana.

    Let me intrude - sorry about that. I think God can work through evolution too. What I don't agree to is the idea of 'suvivor of the fittest.' If survivor of the fittest were the driving force for evolution, why not just evolve a super crocodile or even a super cockroach that can survive under most harsh conditions and which can just mindlessly gobble up any competing species - including 'pre-humanoids' so as to prevent the future 'bustards' from lording it over them and before those pre-humans can even think about putting them in a zoo. But why did it have to be human beings, or why did the evolution path choose the path of intelligence. Think about it, fellas. Believe me, if you think about it very deeply, you'll realize that it didn't have to be that way. But somehow, nature (or is it God?) chose the evolutional path of ultimately leading to intelligent beings, to reign over (and destroy - just kiddin' folks, let's relax a bit) the earth. I think whatever it is or Whoever it is, He wanted to ultimately create an intelligent being with feelings, consciousness, emotion, spirit, soul and more importantly, if not the most, conscience (although I have to admit many people has not 'evolved' that part yet and you know who) so as to put some meaning in this world. Farfetched? Just remember, everything in this world has meaning to it, even the evolution process itself, so is it not possible that we humans were ultimately created or evolved for some meaning or purpose. Think about it.

    Besides, isn't this world or life itself boring and meaningless if we humans were ultimately meant to be consigned to nothiness? Is that all there is to it? All this thing called evolution? all that unimaginably painstaking process of continuous transformation from simple amino acids to magnificently complex beings called humans - beings that may still be evolving into 'super-beings,' just to be relegated to nothingness and eventually be completely wiped out with the inevitable end of the world? Or am I just harboring some grand illusion and pursuing some phantom dreams? Think about it folks. Besides, weren't we given intelligent mind to ponder upon these things than just thoughlessly be resigned to doom. Definitely not me, I'm gonna go out to this world with a firm belief and the feeling that this world is beautiful and that there must be a reason for all the beauty and magnificence in this world...
    ...and be happy - that's all that matters to me.

    That's because we humans are made to percieve and think in a limited way. If there was a God, naturally He should be someone who is infinitely more complicated than us and therefore not within the grasp of our limited mind. Our physical mind is basically made to perceive only what is necessary for our survivor. It is the mind that says, 'there ain't no god 'cause can't see him;' it is the mind that says,'plant grows out of the ground because the dna in the seeds helps certain chemical reactions to occur...' etc., etc., and dismisses everything we can't explain as just being 'natural.' But you see, this tiny mind of ours - and yours is no exception, kirk - fails to ask what drives those plants to shoot out of the ground, or what drives all creatures to recreate or procreate itself. There must be some force that drives them, that life force. Our limited mind tends to dismiss everything we can't explain with a convenient catch-all phrase, 'cause it's natural, but ask yourself what is natural. So you see, there is this unseen life force that propel every life in this world, never mind if it only works under certain condition. So what is this life force that so loves life? As I've pointed out in my blogs, it's must be one form of energy emanating from somewhere, and as I've pointed out there, everything in this world is basically an energy and the universe itself is one big pulsating blob of energy. And our thought that direct our ways is itself an energy and so is it not possible that there is some universal thought or mind, that universal control center, that loves to create life, that direct all the activities in this world? that naturally must be complicated beyond our imagination? Could this be God? or could He be God?

    By the way kirk, I love your avatar.
    This post deserves more than a thousand reps. reps on your way based on my full ability.

    Andre and Pacfan, god bless both of you.

    Humans are hardwired to want to believe in some kind of god or creator no matter what the evidence is to suggest otherwise. We'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.

    Fair enough, brod. At least we can disagree without being disagreeable, or without losing our cool. So for that, you'll get a rep from me.
