How the Bible "Hints" our being
    #8883721 -

God loved the devil so much that he gave him a place to rule and make his own.
(Think about the earth, Think about our Egotistic ways. People want to create the world to fit our desires. A fancy house, a car, lots of patron and hot women, ect. ect. We truley do have the power to do whatever we want here within limits. If a person doesnt like someone they could choose to kill them, if someone wants to have nice shit they can do it. To me the bible is hinting that it is "We" who are the fallen angles, and god loves us so much he gave us a place to rule and make our own with our identity.)

God sent his only son to die for our sins
(Are we all not going to die from our sins someday? Think about all the shit in life that is bad for you or has negative consequences. We caint take away the fact we are mortal, But if we do "Negative" actions it leads us to our death quicker. Smoking, drinking, multiple sex partners, stress, anger, hatred, Over indulgence, Fast food, ect ect. All lead us to a unhealthy body which will eventually kill us someday. In a sense, if we are children of god.....is the bible hinting perhaps that WE are his children, sent to earth to die for our own sins? AKA Jesus)

God Created Man in his image
PErhaps the most obvious hint that we are the Gods of our lives and we are responsible to do good and work twords the light?


.......just some of the stuff on how i view christianity and how it helps me. Im an Agnostic kind of guy. But I think a little from all religions helps. Hope you enjoyed the read if nothing else :tongue2:

I can think of a solid contradiction to this thought.....
Besides original sin, what sins has an innocent child committed besides being born, if it then dies due to "natural causes" soon after....?

I believe you're on the right track. I believe that the story of the fallen Angels and Satan to be symbolic of the human race. We are the fallen Angels and Satan is a symbol for all that is evil. The same goes for the story of Adam and Eve, in that the Garden of Eden represents Heaven and the banishment from the Garden represents mankind's fall into matter (the physical universe). Almost everyone who has had a DMT breakthrough is immediately struck by the familiarity of the DMT universe. They feel as though they've been there thousands of times. This is what led Dr. Rick Strassman to propose the theory that we go there every night while in REM sleep. I believe that this sensation is due to the fact that all of us were once living in this dimension in the beginning until we did something that was not in accord with God's perfect universe. Therefore we have been sent to this realm of matter and have forgotten our truly Divine nature.

Bingo. I think this is the grandest scale of egotism ever conducted. To think that there are people who believe that the entire Universe was created for humans almost exclusively. It's mind-boggling.

The ultimate duality internal power struggle....

If God got so lonely that he found it traumatizing, he could have created alternate personalities to cope....
We are just the temporary ones....    :thumbup:

Your theological understanding of Christian doctrine is sorely lacking and full of falsity.  Why bother with the pseudo Christian baggage at all? Just make up things as you go instead of trying to wrest things to fit your ideas.

I see Satan as God's subconscious.

I see sin as a crude linguistic-synæsthesic control system. I don't feel there is really a consequence to any action other than it's consequence and it's imagined consequence. (The universe is cause and effect, the belief of sin is the only sin, these two phenomena occur in parallel and thus are indistinguishable without linguistic-synæsthesic dissection)

I see group sex as being like a super-conductor of human health. When the socio-dissociative state (preserved physical individuality) keeps physically transmitted diseases separate, it is easy to incriminate sexuality. By the time transmitted viruses are defeated group sex may become more regular because of its emotional benefits; nonsex may be frowned upon in the future just as sex is today.

Man created God in his own image. Man gave God only one offspring so the other billions would all forget who they were.

Its because of statements like this I wonder about it at all in fact. Bottem line is that even though christianity fucks with some people's brains, It actually HELPS cirtain people.

Im not saying the bible is real or not, But i cannot deny that there is a book THOUSANDS of years old that tells people how to live. Instead of calling them all idiots, why dont i see what it is the bible gives them and MAYBE use it for my spiritual benifit as well.

Maybe I'm cynical, but these days I have a hard time seeing the Bible as anything other than a manual for the subjugation of other cultures.

If God's universe was perfect, how were we able to do something wrong?

How can anything be wrong when viewing it from the perspective of the universe?
