"On the night of Dec. 15, 1960, I had this dream, which came true and which today 48 years later, " which would have been 2008, when this shit was first posted.

You don't have to believe me, but just bare with me! Time will tell and it's getting closer! Just have patience.

I've learned great patience over the years. It's through living my own life realizing I'm responsible for every bit of it, first. And all others that I share this world with are part of that very small circle of experiences, given there are nearly 7 billion individuals on the planet and I'll meet less than what would amount as a handful in my lifetime.
I don't recognize that an invisible supreme watcher that acts as judge, jury, executioner and voyeur, exists. I don't accept that that being taken on faith to exist, by the majority of the world's population, is there.
For to do so, to visualize it's existence in any form whatever, from anthropomorphic unto a pervasive innate natural energy, is the height of egoism. To think this speck of matter, comprised of water, carbon and other chemicals, is held in esteem as the primary focus of attention to my conduct as a human, by something that is proclaimed to be infinite, omnipresent and omnipotent, is the height of arrogance and elitism.

This is nature. I'm part of it. Not created special to it.
I live my life. And if there is a god, as you believe, and he is all knowing, he is not surprised. And if he is omni-benevolent, he does not mind that I am who his omnipotence created me to be. If "god" is a higher life form a supreme to humans being, and he creates us as less than that and then judges us for our innate shortcomings, made possible by his creative will, he's not god. He's the manufactured illusion born from self-serving egoism in man.

I'd rather live with my own ego. At least I know I'm real and I'm someone I can respect. And I don't damn me, for being me. I live me, until it's over.

This is the dream of dreams and soon you will know. Patience is man's best friend!

As I said, I have come to have enormous patience through the years. And as you don't know me, I'll give you a bit of insight. I know what's on the other side. I've been there. And I am not afraid. Death is the one destiny that unites all humanity in the greater purpose.To live our life and then to die. All else in between is vapor that we breath life into and that is whisked away with the next breath. The past doesn't matter. Regret does not serve, save to take what one would have to regret and to learn from that experience so as to never have cause to feel self pity again. The future is but a dream. Insecure, uncertain, but hoped for.
In truth, there is only now. And you are all you've got to face your personal life with. All others and all else, are accessories. If you need to think something invisible has it's hand on your back, guiding you because you're special, step by step, so be it. Because regardless of that, it is you, flesh and bone and somatic sense, that makes the steps on the journey that only you will feel personally first.

Dream, isn't reality. We awake from dreams. And some would say when we die that is our awakening. I know that. However, I also know that what is there reminded me that I'm not special when I shrug off this flesh and the consciousness that finds itself at home in an ego.

This life, left behind, no longer matters. Because it is no longer matter.
Your dream, doesn't even begin to describe what you'll find waiting. And that's just at a level you can comprehend, while still able to return to life. What's beyond that, no one lives to tell.

Welcome to your new world! It will be an exiting ride for all of us! But be not afraid because even if you die during the ride, you will be saved to your last sin! But I warn you, do no harm to anyone for your ride will be too long!

You live as if your life includes the concept of sin.

I'll live free.

I had a dream last night that a christian cock knob would take a three year hiatus from a thread he had created and then, in a retarded attempt at Lazarusing, would raise the thread from the dead again.

Holy shit!!!! It happened-EXACTLY like in my dream!

Must be one of them fuckin' MIRACLES, Epi!

Epi, did you ever consider that YOU might just be a prophet too?!

Ricardo, you got some competition my friend!

I never used to think I could be, but now, with these recent revelations, I may have to change my mind, guys.

Register as tax exempt religion, 501c3 and you could die rich if you market yourself right.

I wish I had asked Andros (was he the wacko psychic?) about the ins and outs of the business.

[Judas BentHer]

I wouldn't know about the ins and outs of portraying ones self as a psychic or "prophet" (Besides maybe acting classes?) however, I had a friend go through the process of submitting application for 501c3 religious organization tax exemption. It was arduous, but he finally succeeded.
It's interesting because the 1st amendment and the IRS regulations seem to conflict. Congress passed the law that created the Income Tax Code. From which a 501c3 seeks exemption to compliance. While the IRS, is part of the executive branch of government under the department of the U.S. Treasury. And it is they who right the regulations that enforce the language of the aforementioned Code passed by Congress and signed into law by the President.

So when the first says, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; ..."

It seems a bit convoluted because while Congress can not make a law that says a certain religion is outlawed, it did make an income tax code from which religious organizations must qualify to be exempt from paying taxes on what they generate as income from the donations of the religious. Otherwise, one is not a tax exempt religious organization and if someone deems themselves tax exempt because of the first without applying for the 501c3, they face penalty under the regulations of the IRS.
So you are free to be religious under the first. You just have to qualify to be free from paying taxes as a religious organization that receives donations from the religious so that the programs dedicated to furtherance of that religion may continue with capital support.

In any event, (Tax Information for Churches and Religious Organizations)

"The Supreme Court has interpreted religion to mean a sincere and meaningful belief that occupies in the life of its possessor a place parallel to the place held by God in the lives of other persons. The religion or religious concept need not include belief in the existence of God or a supreme being to be within the scope of the First Amendment." ( Source)

Offered just because the subject came up. Personally, I'd love to see an atheist system that's tax exempt under that particular arm of the 501c3 exemption, and an atheist living as high or higher than the most materialistic Televangelist, as the antithesis of everything that makes that Theist ilk filthy rich when their Jesus ministered to the poor, as one of meager possessions.

I imagine the indignation it would inspire in their ilk, would be enough to knock pastor John Hagee right off his podium on Palm Sunday. While his favorite son, Senator John McCain, as well as other religious politicians head would shrivel at the thought.

jesus blessed the US with a cruciform shape did he? THAT symbol wasn't even part of His[lil J's] religion....he DIED on it.

The sign a christ figure WOULD'VE used is arms formed in an X over the chest.Berne knew,i know,i'm sure it has always been 'The Sign' of Christ.

right,few will have heard this recently,i,christ resurrected[if thats even possible],tell you all now....'GOD' is a collective noun,i.e. a noun used to cover a multitude of spirits,which are the good spirits/angels,hence GO[o]D.therefore 'all angels'=god.THAT's WHY Ash are the 3 wise men,why i,tw or three years after first accepting the christ position,realised i am 'balthazar's cousin.his uncle's son.i am of course illegitimate,but have heard my father since the age of 11,even though i'd been brought up by a strict athy! i KNOW its the truth! 'he' is allknowing because 'he' consists of hundreds of thousands of millions angels/spirits who have eyes.they do the will of their king,who reports to a 'being',which is not of human form.it is asexual.it is playng a game of Race and Planets.Earth is a testing ground for our souls,to see if they deserve the eternal life that is there for everybody to have,just have to show that they're worthy of living on until the next phase of Life.!angels possess,thus a creation is a result of possession....doing god's will directly!

If you want to get rich tell the xtian morons to give you money to spread the word.


I'm sure G-C will fork over a couple of shekels for the cause.
