The bible was warped and twisted probably as soon as it saw the light of day and then really got it's groove on back in the beginning of roman catholic times to keep the LITTLE people in line,and also because peons were basically too stupid to understand the real version:rolleyes: Anybody interested in it though,research for yourself-Elaine Pagals is one of the best religous untanglers I have ever read-she is very easy to understand and rarely goes beyond the average intellect:D |

Her book 'Origins of Satan' changed my life.
I still want a copy of the Gnostic Gospels,it's probably the only thing she has written that I haven't read thru and thru. I have had a personal experience that leads me to believe there is something out there that we belong to and that loves us more dearly than we can comprehend.....and religion doesn't even begin to explain it or even touch on that. I still believe in a supreme being and am a member of a Lutheran church(although I haven't been to church in quite a while) but I do not trust most religions-christian or otherwise-they all seem to have there alterior motives that has nothing to do with enlightenment and human progress. |
Beautifully put Nova.
Origins Of Satan? Sounds interesting. May i have a brief synopsis? |

I don't have a problem with anyone believing in anything they want to, religion is a personal thing...I only take offense when someone tries to push their religion on me... Wouldn't a Christian be offended if someone told them that they should be Pagan?...That's all I'm saying... |

Oh lordy,I'll try.... Pagals tells of where 'Satan' originated from and how in each new 'version' of religious texts,and each new age of man Satan becomes more and more prominent(sp?) and 'Evil'. It's like he 'Grows' into the Satan we all know and love today:D I can't remember exactly how this book ends,it's been a long time since I read it,but this would be a good book to check out if you have the time. |

Okay, maybe not. They can go up in Paga bookshops and bitch and preach, but one of steps inside their stores... We'd get slapped with disturbing the peace. |

Another point is that there are fanatics in EVERY religion.. These idiots are the ones who ruin it for everyone else.. :D

Up untill I was 16 I was all for Jesus and the bible and whatnot but then something happened that you would think wouldn't change that. I moved in with a Christian woman because I called DFS on my dad. Well, at first we went to church on Sundays and Wednesdays. Then we started going to ladys nights once a month. Then we started going on Tuesdays also. Next thing I know we are going to church almost everyday of the week. Can I say OVERLOAD. On top of that it was a pentecostal church. I had never been to one before. I went to Baptist churches my whole life until then. Well, it was as if they wanted me to feel something I didn't feel. They got me up in front of the church, everyone put their hands on me and started talking in "tounges" as they called it. The paster put his hand on my head and was praying and pushing me backward. As if he was trying to make me fall. Maybe that is why the old ladys were all falling to the floor. Because they were pushed by the Pastor and not because they felt the power of the "holy ghost". Since this happened I have decided that I don't believe in a god or the bible. I don't have a problem with anyone elses beliefs because that is on them but, I just dont see how that stuff is even possible. A guy losses all his strength after getting his hair cut off, what? I think I believe in evolution more than anything. I also believe that their has to be aliens out there. The universe is too big for there not to be any other kind of life out there. You know. Wow. That was flippin' long. My bad.
