You see "truth" that is the problem with what you accept. I am a person, a human being (flesh and blood) who simply finds what you believe to be obnoxious and based on fundamentalist lies. It took less than two or three days of telling you off, for you to make a comment, which passes judgement on me. That what I say is related to your impression of the "beast".

For you "truth" thinking is a threat, believing alternatively to what you believe is considered dangerous. Freedoms of thought are simply too scary for you to accept. "Truth" the beast as you call it is related to our baser tendencies, the desire to lash out and condemn others in order to make we seem more important.

I do not think you are, or will ever be a saint that I feel that way does not make me evil. But that you want to call me evil because I feel that way points to something inherently wrong with you.

Your the one with a hard heart which is prepared to condemn someone juts because he or she disagrees with you. And keep this in mind "truth" I do disagree with you.

You inherently promote the idea that God is a mass murderer, you present the notion that mankind must conform to a specific system of belief because of your paranormal experiences. You admonish others due to the paranoia of your end of the world scenarios and in no way do you present an argument, that is consistent or the result of anything based on tangible facts.

"Truth" besides Brian no one else at this site is coming from the context of being above human, which is with the exception of you. You claim to be no better that us and in the same post you feel that you will one day be a saint. That makes you either a hypocrite or a fool, personally my tendency is to believe that latter.

Funny thing about Physics is that the concept of the Halo can be understood in relation to the wave function, these in regards to electron spin (something I am at present working on).


"Truth" while I still disagrees with your interpretation of the bible. I have to admit you do seem to be a real Christian as well as an adult. Keep in mind that to my culture Jesus is accepted as our first Emperor. To us after he accended (as a result of having been risen from the dead). He presented himself to our culture and restored the most ancient of ways (he also had children).

I am a Christian truth, despite the fact that I do not fall into a category you would tend to accept (by the way I am not a Mormon) what you think. (To an extent) as valid. Furthermore, understand this the Egyptian culture was not inherently evil. It existed in a time what such things as Human sacrifices were seen as valid. Osiris was a force, which made such thinking a thing of the past. Do you know what a Setian is truth? Centuries ago it was an issue, an issue which was present in all cultures (at that time).

Today we struggle to overcome our differences (and that is very important). The future is something, which has not happened yet. As a reuslt in the present we are the forces which can evoke change. My impression is that mankind is not required to (at this time) suffer the pain brought about by an inherent misinterpretation of Gods plan.


There are in reality dead American Buddhist truth, which died as soldiers to protect this country. All this world needs is recources to get it back on the right track. .

I'm wondering something.

So if "Truth" 'saw' visions or dreams of impending danger, how does he claim it to be so accurate.

A good question was raised recently...

Truth... have you ever had a dream where you were having sex or something close to it?

We'll say yes.

Here's my point... is that dream inherantly good or evil? No. The point is that your mind is trying to figure things out. You want to have love in your life, sex, marriage, fantasies, fun, eroticism.... none of that is evil in itself.

Now lets look at your prophetic dreams...

You saw the dawn of chaos and the end of mankind. So what? I've had plenty of dreams like that. I would claim your revelations to be more of the "stuff" of 'mental conditioning.' Look into psychology sometime. You'll find that we condition ourselves non-stop throughout our lives. If we think something bad is going to happen, we spawn FEAR! Now, since we loath fear, we do whatever it takes to remove that fear. You found God... which is great... but now you seem to be spreading that fear as if it were real.

If your dream was real, then so were your dreams of sex. If that was the case, you are probably a very "unclean" person, as far as your faith is concerned. You've probably also had violent dreams, and other sinful experiences in your dreams, but I'm sure you didn't take them so strongly. There is a purpose for all this. Your brain has to send you in directions to make sure that you continue to grow. Anything that doesn't grow is 6 feet beneath the soil. That's right... dead. So take your dreams with a grain of salt. I wish you the best of luck in your continued growth in the future, but ... please... relax!

Honestly, yes I am comparing the dreams. I have dreamed of heaven, hell, sex, violence, fun, weirdness, movies, shapes,...anything.

Dreams are normal. If I dreamed of seeing Christ nearly drowning in blood... I'd be freaked out, but I'd still use a level head about it. I'd then dream of a boat to rescue the poor guy. I'd wake up and know that I'd need to search for some answers, because my head sure seems to be asking questions... but I would still be realistic about it.

"having fun, sex, fantasies, (is) evil and i stay away from it. "

I think you've got this all wrong. Having fun isn't evil. Neither is sex, neither are fantasies. Our perceptions and uses of these things can become evil.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying I'm a wild, immoral SOB. I am saying that you should use a level head. Going 18 years without Christ is not a long time. Put yourself in the shoes of a 50 year old who loses his entire family and wonders "why". Be Gene Simmons on the day he went to see John Edwards, where he finally started asking himself the question, "is there life after death?" Look at your life and see how much of it you have left to live and experience and enjoy. Are you enjoying yourself? Or do you find yourself constantly fighting and arguing with everyone because they are not sharing your messages/beliefs.

Remember, when you open your eyes from a dream, it is a brand new day. God gave that to you "everyday!" Maybe that was the message, plain and simple. Put away your BibleHammer and smile. At this rate, one day you'll only hate God more for your own shortcomings. You just need more guidance. Consider this: People like Jesus inspired peace, but people who followed him inspired war. If anyone is to blaim for the horrors of the world, it's the person who stares back at you in the mirror.

You may think I'm trying to tempt your mind with evil, but I'm merely trying to show you "realism."

You know, there are two types of prayers. The ones where you talk... and talk... and talk...
and the ones where you both talk and listen.

Which do you practice? I see you talking and talking, ... but no listening. The world isn't full of devils, the world is full of people. You aren't full of evil, you're full of choices. The best thing that you can do is choose the greater good and the lesser evil in any situation. How can God ask for more from you?

Please feel free to question my faith. It currently stands on shakey grounds, but none the less... I will always believe in God, inspite of the details.
