Quick Poll - Do you believe in God?
|
 
I don't know why I suddenly thought of this, but I remember it very clearly.
In the 1st grade my fellow classmates and I read our catechism book aloud every day ... and I remember this word for word. Catechism book: #3. Who is God? God is a spirit who does not have a body like man. Don't know why I suddenly remembered that so vividly.  Now that I think back on it ---- what a strange fucking way to define God. ?????????????? ![[Image: Evolution.png]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i1118.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fk619%2Fjcincain%2FPublic%2FEvolution.png)
You had to read a catechism book in school? Every day? Brutal. I spent years at a catholic school and had to do no such thing.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
I do not believe that "God" exists. I'm not fond of the phrasing, "Do you believe in God", because "believe in God" sounds like a presupposition that there is a "God" to believe in. That's an important distinction to me, because... I'm weird that way.

even though i'm the Christ of the 21st Century[they are centenial],i do not believe in a 'single god'. as i have stated a few times-'G.O.D.'=ALL good angels.....DA EVIL=a substance in the earths atmoshpere which flies into the minds of weak,arrogant nd ignorant sods,then possesses them to 'do evil',then flies out again once the 'person's life has been changed for the worse. the conjugation of 'da' and 'evil' happened thousands of years ago,before jesus' time.
'G.O.D.' has levels to be attained[which can only be acheived whilst 'with the here and now'] and what jesus called an 'archangel', i call a 'wowman'!lol... 'arch...' being the top of the arc of a rainbow,perhaps??? (August 14, 2011 at 11:17 am)Paul the Human Wrote: I do not believe that "God" exists.

I'm weird that way. but...you believe in an afterlife???? spirits/angels ARE 'G.O.D.'! The problem with 'people' of today's Times,is that they ALL look for 'god' in the WRONG places,i.e.the bible,in church etc....try MUSIC!all music-punk,metal,rock,indie,jazz....etc.... THIS was a song by PennyWise[pat wheeler[thru possession?]],telling me to 'question how much of a father my dad was'....Same Old Story... or Mr Blue Sky......'tell us what did we do wrong'[???] or Dean Friedman's 'shopping bag ladies'-..don't pity me,don't pity me,beautiful bastard boy,i'll be just who i am......i was told to 'listen carefully' whenever my 'dad' played it[i was 10-14y.o.] ...Pennywise-same old story ...Dean Friedman's 'shopping bag ladies' 'shopping bag ladies'-Dean Friedman... Thing IS,'possession IS everything'! e.g. any creation,ie.song,artwork,film,book etc will always influence SOMEBODY.it is the angels who bring about the 'coincidence' of that pesn hearing the relevant 'creation'....i.e.random places,like my own example...i walk into a club in newbury on its opening night,'uptown girl' is playing[remix obviiously],just two months after my favourite band of alltime cover it acoustically on BBC Radio1.[?!?!] pretty soon i realised i am a sucker for a pretty woman!!! i need a queen of the universe,which is WHY my first toy[aged 4]was He-Man[and the masters of the universe]!!! 'i am adam,prince of eternia....'!!!! pennywise....directed at the entire Race![?] MY OWN COUNTRY-pennywise.listen to it...the WHOLE world is meant to be ONE COUNTRY.i make my own philosophy etc more social comment from pennywise----possession is everything!!!!it IS!!! do you get how I feel about ;stuff',listening to htis song? i have to,i am THE One! "statistically impossible...","i'm an alien,dressed like GIDEON"??? we've GOT to be 'one voice'! and...in case you had NOT guessed-its MY 'badge of pride'!!!!! RE: Quick Poll - Do you believe in God?

ME=victim of reality, NOW its everyone else's turn!!! and, a childhood favourite of mine-Mr Blue Sky.... Envy, an ash song written shortly after i came out of psych ward. the 'struck by a lightning bolt' idea was EXTREMELY enlightening!the guy singing is pat wheeler's nephew. and the above is where i first heard of this 'uncle pat'.....all i knew at that time[1994,aged 12/13] of this uncle of tim wheeler's was that "he may well have passed away",due to the last line.. need i point out WHO the 3 wise men ARE,this time around? well,twould be the Ash guys[they started as 3piece],which would make gabriel the dead father of jesus,and uncle to balthazar??? And for that one person who changed their mind re:is there a god?, i'll make it clear for you all....the 'mind' and brain are separate things. brain is the grey matter,mind is the fluid surrounding the brain[and in the spinal cord]..at the top of the spinal cord there is,or so ihave been told,a 'knob' which is connected to the brain by millions of nerves. IF each of us has a 'spirit'[ie.atom of 'otherworldly chemical'?]then i guess 'possession' is when a single 'angel'/spirit occupies that knob.he/she flicks 'switches'[metaphorically speaking],thus controlling the person! yes,i KNOW-mighty morphing power rangers!!!MAYBE THAT'S why that series was created??? of course,as soon as an angel inhabits,d'evil fights him/her out of the head,BECAUSE d'evil is the opposing force of nature! Freud and the other founders of psychiatry called the positive and negative inside the 'head' libido and mortido...life instinct[like making,fixing,creating,happy thoughts/thinking],and mortido...death instinct[with its aim separation,maiming,harming[emotionally or physically]destroying]..... its all related!!! |
