He was a rebel... definitely didn't go with the flow. He started that revolution. Say what
Paul was another bad ass. Most of his books were written when he was in prison and he had such amazing revelation of Jesus through the holy spirit.. more so than the disciples that walked with him everyday.
What if God is actually looking for the skeptics, rebels, and the outcasts? What if he's looking to weed out all the boring obedient types who would just blindly follow him without evidence?
lolSee that's what I'm saying. What if God is actually looking for the skeptics, rebels, and the outcasts? What if he's looking to weed out all the boring obedient types who would just blindly follow him without evidence?
If I'm a fool for choosing Jesus and not the devil, I'll be that.
An ex Catholic Church priest I have on my Twitter account where we chat over "majick" etc was also a proper member of the O9A / ONA & his legit as the day is long, believe me I've asked him many things to try & sniff him out & call him a fraud but I failed.
Go figure sweetie, you at times really have no clue what they hell you're on about or really into I swear.
you seem to take joy in telling people your belief is the only truth and they're going to hell/whatever...I remember now that even when I didn't believe in God, I couldn't stand atheists. They took joy in going around telling people God doesn't exist. Bunch of assholes.
I've been nothing but nice to people here who are nonbelievers
Fuck you
You being an asshole is, but ok
He'd probably just see you for the pest you are and ignore you
i'll agree to disagree.You should probably fuck off
^ you wrote earlier:

can you see that you're exactly the same as the people you can't stand?
i'll agree to disagree.
alasdair
whatever dude. all i have are your words here and, to this observer, you're not quite the innocent martyr you seem to think you are.
aside, for somebody who's said, what, 4 or 5 times that you're done with this, you sure seem to be keeping going
alasdair
Only when one has seen "God" my fellow explorers the first time they did heroic doses of psychedelics and saw god never tripped again the fear and terror of seeing what god truly is is enough to be a one time fling for a majority of trippers that they will never touch psychedelics again.Leonard Ravenhill for you (yet again)
"I believe every church is either supernatural or superficial. I don't believe there's any middle ground."
"Do you go to church to meet God or to hear a sermon about Him? How many come to church expecting a confrontation with Deity?"
If by some chance the hand of "God" came down to touch you I promise y that the shit would flow outta you in pure TERROR, you have no clue about "God" or these fucking "demoms"you love to think are in rock music. One of these days you'll learn like I had to the hard way.
^In the friendliest way possible, I could not disagree with you more!
The Fermi Paradox suggests that sentient conscious, technologically capable life, is an extreme rarity in the universe. Given this fact, that we might be one of the few guardians of self-aware, biological intelligence, surely it stands to reason that life, and specifically human life, is something we should want to preserve?
Are fungi introduced to a new patch of land (possibly a slightly hostile, alien environment for it) that evolves to thrive and flourish, just an "evil" cancer?
What about a small group of animals migrating to a part of the world they previously did not inhabit - they flourish, eat and outbreed the local fauna to extinction - like countless species in the billions of years of evolution of life on Earth have done, prior to the emergence of humanity. Are these invading species an evil cancer?
What about the first abiogenetic event in the primordial, anoxic seas of a Hadean Earth - were these pre-DNA examples of simple, self-replicating molecules an evil force, as they multiplied and spread out on a world that was previously completely dead? As their more capable descendants gradually changed the entire ecosystem, terraforming a world that could have ended up a lifeless as Mars or Venus into a world with an oxygen atmosphere, capable of supporting the energy requirements of their descendants - highly mobile, thinking entities with advanced nervous systems, capable of simulating entire realities within their minds? (And just to be clear, I don't mean humans - I think it's not unreasonable to suppose that countless other species have access to some form of internal world which has a "qualia" that eludes their understanding.) Are all these countless generations of varied forms of life just "evil cancers"?
If you think humans expanding into space is equivalent to a cancer spreading out into the universe then I don't see how you wouldn't believe that life itself is some form of cancer and the universe would just be better off if it never evolved, if you follow this argument to it's logical conclusion.
What, if it is not humans going beyond earth and becoming a spacefaring civilization, probably one of the few in the known universe, doesn't seem like a bright and incredible future, what do you hope for for the human race? Just to sit back and wait for inevitable extinction?
All that stuff said - I think it's quite conceivable that a possible solution to the Fermi Paradox is that the unique conditions that allow intelligent life to evolve unavoidably include self-destructive tendencies that always destroy the unfortunate species at the high-tech, enlightened, but intrinsically doomed end of the line. But even if this is our unavoidable fate I can't see any rational reason why we wouldn't all try our hardest to put this off as long as possible and in the meantime, see what incredible things we can achieve in this bizarre and inexplicable reality that we find ourselves in.
