Natch,

and you think those bizarre religious concepts, because you are infested with nasty body thetans from back 100 million years ago, when Lord Xenu fixed a burgeoning population problem in this quadrant of the galaxy by luring the unsuspecting into his clutches with a fake "tax audit", froze them with ethylene glycol, flew the frozen bodies to Earth on space planes, placed their bodies around volcanoes, blew up all those poor devils with atomic bombs, captured their souls overhead with fly-paper-like "soul catchers", forced those souls into giant movie theaters to watch movies about Christianity and Islam (where you come in!!), and released those souls (or, body thetans as they are now known to be) into the wild where they attached themselves to unsuspecting humans. They have attached themselves to YOU MK. Sad to see. Makes me all itchy to think about it. Sad

Simple really, and easy to comprehend.

MK, that's our point.
God, if he exists, is above all comprehension!

You do understand what indoctrination is and how it works, right?
Wishful thinking is fine but correlating it with reality only makes sense to other indoctrinated people.
To us, it's all gibberish nonsense baring no resemblance to our reality.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

God has nine billion names. Once we suss them all out, the Universe will cease to be.

RE: God's Name
I, here begin this reply with a simple advice, Mystic : the more you complicate things, and lets your dreams control your judgement, the more you go astray.

Not just in religion : in everything; actually. What you're doing is embedding "mysticism" to an already obvious matter, how in hell, does people know God from his face or name ? how is his face like ? or do you claim you saw his face ?

We know God from his deeds; not from his name or face (hence : we didn't even see his face).

We know him through the life he created, through the universe he sat in order, from the sun, moon, stars, the cherry blossom.
Deeds, acts, not "mystic name & face".

We know the Quran is from him, by validating the book against reality. Heck, I wouldn't believe a book spitting nonsense about "mystical" stuff; that is the same reason I never bought the Hadiths as a legitimate source of faith.


Quote:It's through this connection, that people are set aright and become righteous. It's through his name, all beautiful titles belong to God. It's through his name, through which things are given light and given enlightenment.

Through the power of his name, the darkness is subdued and the devils defeated.

It's also through his name, that evil is evil, and get's it's negative reality from it's opposition to God's Name and face.

It's also through his name that guidance is achieved, which is light with light, and light above all light, and light that unites all light.

No, Mystic. but through his deeds, is where people realize what he does, and follow the path he "named and identified" for them to follow. If it's his name only, there would be no Sunna & Shia slipping each other's throats at every corner.
Matter in fact, all I hear is people screaming his name, yet commit all kinds of brutalities, or did you forget the syrian civil war ?

He created the darkness too, remember ? I mean, as he is the light, he also created the darkness.

He also created evil, or did you forget this verse ?
(Sura 90 Verse 10 )   And have shown him the two ways?

Didn't he create "hell" ? or do you call that place a negative reality ? that's his creation, his doing.

And guidance is snot achieved by his name. yet by his "guidance" accompanied by the deeds of people. Or you're saying, that it's okay for killers, rapists & criminals to achieve guidance, only through his name ?

What I want to say, Mystic..don't make something so obvious, into something so complicated.

Listen to God's advice, after all the Quran has a verse for that :

( Sura 5 Verse 77 )   Say, "O People of the Scripture, do not exceed limits in your religion beyond the truth and do not follow the inclinations of a people who had gone astray before and misled many and have strayed from the soundness of the way."

And Abraham, didn't believe in God through his name, rather, through God's deeds (i.e creation) :

Sura 6
( 76 )   So when the night covered him [with darkness], he saw a star. He said, "This is my lord." But when it set, he said, "I like not those that disappear."

( 77 )   And when he saw the moon rising, he said, "This is my lord." But when it set, he said, "Unless my Lord guides me, I will surely be among the people gone astray."
( 78 )   And when he saw the sun rising, he said, "This is my lord; this is greater." But when it set, he said, "O my people, indeed I am free from what you associate with Allah.
( 79 )   Indeed, I have turned my face toward He who created the heavens and the earth, inclining toward truth, and I am not of those who associate others with Allah."

Abraham believed through logic; not through "mysticism".
If I followed your words, I would be an atheist in no time. It doesn't make any sense, mystic, and defies the original faith itself.

God's name has no effect if you already chose the wrong path. It's all up to you; not to a magical skyrim "Spell" containing " the mystic secret word".

And mystic, this is the begining right ?

tomorrow, you'll come and say "ali and his sons know a secret name of god Angel that you whisper to let all your problems vanish).
I already heard that from shia before..

He appeared to me and told me that's his name, so he shall hereby be Bob. I'm sure if I write "God appeared to me on Mt Snowdon and told me his name is Bob" some fuckers will still believe it 2000 years down the line.

We might also get two sects of Bob-worshippers going to war over a useless mountain too. If they can over some barren sand dunes they can over a mountain.

I'm pretty sure that God's name is Derek.

Or Kevin. It could be Kevin.
