This goes to all 'His' so called prophets. If he doesn't exist then it's even stupider. Both scenario proves that religion is the most crass idea someone or something has come up with and killed millions for an unseen omnipotent really stupid god who can't make up his own damn mind.

I think you misunderstood my post.
I think christianity is a joke. I'm not religious at all. What I meant to say is that if Jesus did exist(doesn't matter, just the idea matters) then he was terribly misunderstood by everyone he preached to.
Jesus would preach that we are all sons of god, not just him. He would not put himself above anyone else. He would not call himself devine, only others would.
I hope you're following me here.
Christianity is used as a tool to advance agendas for purposes of power and influence for complete control over the masses. These people need to make Jesus figures devine because if they didn't, they would actually have to take responsibility for their own actions, which of course, they don't have the courage of integrity to do.

You are soooo wrong. True Christianity is protection from those powerful men of renown. who want to take your power away. If you support the unconstitutional war, a lying manipulating con artist as your leader, then I understand where you stand. You may feel free to take me on, for, I am not a coward, I am not a delusional sentient who will swallow the blue pill. I will defend my beleif, and though it may not convince you, my own experience has convicted me.

I really don't know what you are talking about. This is why religion is so confusing.
I'm a red pill guy, so please relax. Been a red piller since 1995 so there ain't no going back. At this point I'm just trying to master this "matrix" so I can continue to take a steady diet of red pills.

Churchmouse, So you are right? Prove to me that god or Jesus exist. Physical proof. Photos, videos. I did not say what I said was true 100%.Just my opinion from my modern educated mind, not from someone who is educated by medieval minded witch burning zealots.
Sorry for coming across the way I did there, so please take it easy, my bad. I can't prove to anyone that god or Jesus exists. That is a step individually taken or not taken in faith. Either way is based in faith, although I suppose some would argue that as well.
Truth is ambiguous. It's too bad that most people in this world can't make up their own mind, just like that stupid god who made sex with a virgin
I agree with you to some extent. Especially about people! The stupid god who made sex with a virgin, that is funny you know. It made me laugh out loud when I read it. No kidding. I can understand how that seems like something out of a fairytale to some, but, if you can stretch your thinking long enough to start to understand some of the simpler concepts, then you have still gained something that is good. Look at science, we can splice to female ovums and grow a female of the same. We can play with DNA, we can make clones! SO how does that make the idea totally outside the realms of possibility?
And who said that I support the stupid war? What's wrong with this world is religion and the stupid clowns who supports them, religious fanatics, church and mosque goers who think humans are the only intelligent life in this whole infinite universe who deserve the attention of a fictional unseen supreme ruler bigger than the creation itself, but made a half assed effort
I just went off on a tangent there, sorry. I didn't mean to imply that you support the stupid war. I even agree that organized religion is poison, that is due to the imperfection of men of course, not because God is stupid. Man will always try to impose power over other men, it is the way it always has been and always will be, as long as there remains a human species on this planet. See we aren't that smart, and maybe if there were really a supreme being, he could intercede and save us from annihilating ourselves. LOL! If all I really have to count on is man, it makes my world pretty hopeless. I can't muster up enough faith in humanity, to see it any other way, if things are left up to us, we will destroy ourselves, and our planet. Bush wants the nukular (his pronunciation of nuclear) option on the table, it really could cause such a huge world war, it will be so terrible, because the lives of all of us will be completely altered to living conditions the likes of which none of us have ever seen. And it won't be a short lived tragedy, and people will fall on there knees, begging for food, water, protection, because there won't be any.
From what I can see, the perpetrators of religion be it god, alien or some unseen covert human groups or whatever you want to believe that made up this anthropomorphic or patriarchal concept of god is too crass or just plain evil. Churchmouse can you answer my question about the god and son of god thing and how your god made sex with a virgin to make Jesus appear in her tummy?

Excessive beer. Ermm. Well, the problem with my post was that I can't type as fast as I think, and when trying to convey an idea, in a concise and non challenging way, I sometimes lose my own way.

Basically what I was trying to say is the way I see it, it is truly a war of principalities, and deception is rampant. We don't even really know who our enemies are, because they are behind fronts that seem perfectly acceptable; or in secret meetings, making decisions for us on the sly. I really think that if the truth really were ever known, there would be a very bloody revolution.

here's one explination for why earth:
SIGNIFICANCE OF EARTH
Only on the planet Earth do human beings come here to reincarnate and begin the involutionary path to God-Realization. The Earth is at the center of the millions of universes, to which all souls must migrate to begin the Inward Journey.
In Infinity, you cannot have a point as center; otherwise, it is not Infinity. And yet on the chart we have made the Earth the center of infinite space. Why? Because though there are many inhabited worlds in infinite space, human beings of those planets have to migrate eventually to the Earth. In some worlds, the people are very intelligent, much more so than on Earth; yet, they must come to this Earth-speck for the sake of the "heart," the involutionary journey.

baba explains this elsewhere by discribing other life forms having more inteligence and less love/soul. We, on Earth, have the right mix of soul & inteligence for God to be realized.

Anyway, just like Jesus came to America in the Mormon Bible, then Jesus the Son of God will visit or has visited every inhabitable planet in the Universe at just the moment they need him most. Even if it means being on two planets at the same time. Because Jesus's works are mighty and miraculous, and the Will of God is not bound by time or space.
not based on the bible, but more than a theory. that is, if you believe Meher Baba, like Jesus, was an avatar (god as man).
sounds like someone as described in the book of revelations, someone who will come and proclaim to be God as man. this person is known as the Anti-Christ. many people will be deceived by him and his teachings. Jesus Christ is Gods only begotten son. there was only one. that was Jesus. no other. what you are saying is contrary to scripture.

IF... Jesus was real.
IF... "God" (undefinable) exists.
IF... Jesus was an actual Messiah, and Son of God.
IF... There are other planets with intelligent life.
IF... The other planets were "sinful" and in need of redemption.
Oh, where do I stop?

I must point out that the book of mormon as well as their other book 'gospel principles' contradict the bible many times.
Apparently not enough to bother all the people who think it's the real deal. Besides, the Bible itself is full of contradictions, and that hasn't hurt its sales a whole lot.
