God

John1188

i just wanna see what everyone thinks
(plus i'm proving Sparky wrong)

Aliminator

u do realise that 'god' has various aliasies (sp?).
god a.k.a. allah a.k.a. what ever the jews call him

John1188

i'm using god as a general term

btw wat does (sp) mean?

*******

Aliminator

have a thinkle.
aliasies is obviously wrong. probably aliases. (sp = spelling, if ya hadn't figured it out yet)







only I can say i am god. for i was referred to as such for CTYI.

sk_irl

well most people know that god exists, but the real question is who created god, and who created that guy, and so on. and are our lives just small little parts of some crazy persons brain.

ll=llannah

this thread?...biased?...*raises eyebrow*... certainly not...

do you mean supernatural power in general? or god? or do you mean just one supernatural power and not many? or do you mean something out there bigger than us? (which could be any number of things, not necessarily any one religion's narrow view of a religious/spiritual/higher in general- power) and I sincerely doubt that most people believe in a religion's narrow definition of a higher power. there are a lot of people in the world with a lot of different opinions.

gotta love the wealth of sketchy polls on this board :rolleyes:

Be clearer in options. God means many different things, my personal belief is in a universal conschence (<-def sp problem). All living this vibrate at diffrnet frequencies, this is the "life force" or energy. I believe all this energy is interlinked as it all has been one and will one day return to oneness. Its a scientist slant, not a faith. I believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion about spirituality and faith, what really gets up my nose is organised religions claiming their faith is the only true one. *Brisels* "Grrr!"
As for the whole afterlife and sins question which where bound to be asked, I believe a person themselves is the only person fit to judge what is right and wrong morally (not legally, don't like a law- move some where else), you know when you do whats right and when you do wrong. Afterlife, hum...don't know yet. Almost died once, saw my life (short at that point I was 5-6) flash by me, but could have been paniced mind trying to cope. I've no proof of an afterlife, but like to hope that what ever you believe happens to you after you die, does. I want to be a cat for a few rounds, then maybe go to a nice warm "heaven" or something fun.

Seriously though, there's a lack of options for agonistics. Or however you spell that.

Spenguin

What the hell?? Aw come on. God?? Don't make this thread. I don't wanna be mean, but just don't. You'll only end up offending someone. Geez. Talking about religion has always ended in tears for me. Well, not literally but, you know what I mean. And that poll was kinda stoopid. Not giving a wide enough variety of options. What if you are buddhist huh? Thinks aren't as simple as god existing and god not existing. Plus some really dumb options. God is dead? I'm being really mean to you. Sorry, you just really annoy me. No offense.

i second that motion, although i'll get someone else to do the kicking for me.


and i'm secular, in that i'm utterly non-religious and believe in one thing: seperation of church and state. well, that's the short side of the story.

Aliminator

yo M-O-DD! do some banning. he didn't put u in the poll list : Crash is God and the like.
Ban his ass.

I also believe in seperation of church and state, but not the American style one where the president is sworn in on a bible, and the church has political power. The church should stick to the affairs of the afterlife, rather than interfere in the affairs of this life.

mentalimplosion

and the way that it says in god we trust on the money


/me sees big lightning flash outside
/me hears fartlike thunder outside
/me hides behind computer

sorry, a little off topic but i was scared

Spenguin

Why? Thunder and lightning is beautiful. And it makes you feel warmer and safer in your house then you actually are.

mentalimplosion

ok, in school today, lightning struck a tree LITERALLY 20 feet away from me. i was scared. and me being a genius, i walked to school with an umbrella.

Yeah, but Scarlet Joe could slip in a nuke between lightning flashes, and we wouldn't know to duck and cover.

"Remember, when you see the flash, (cue cheesy music) duck and cover"

Spenguin

Oh my god, lightning hit zion church beside my school and two girls nearby got hit aswell and they had to get an ambulance and the fire brigade were there too. Ironicly, what attracted the lightning was a lightning conducter shaped like a satan pitchfork thing.

Aliminator

they got hit by lightning?
BULL****

Barry Aldwell

Only on the CTYI board could a thread about God be turned into a discussion of lightning.

Liquorice

Nobody can prove whether a God or numerous gods exist or don't exist. It's up to the person to decide whether they believe in an almighty being or not. Me, I'm agnostic. I have trouble putting my faith entirely and without question in something.
I agree with Ana, the state and the church should remain seperate. The state is concerned with every citizen, and the church is only concerned with some. For example, if abortions are legalised, and your religion is against abortion, then that doesn't mean you have the right to prevent people who don't share the same beliefs as you from having abortions.

John1188

*sigh*
ok, in this poll "God" means any higher being that was involved in the creation of the Universe,
also i am sorry if i offended any agnostics, buddhists or crash
and lastly "God is Dead" is part of Nietzschean philosophy
(Barry will no doubt add this to list of reasons to kick me but i don't really care as he shows no real signs of actually kicking me)

Heheh, you Dublin people and your thunder and lightning. It's all sunny and prettyful where I live. Woohoo! Thunder and lightning is beautiful, I agree, but when it rains the leaves go all mushy and crap and you cant step on them and make them crunch so I'll keep my sunny weather. I love autumn.

PurplePainter

May I point out how disturbing it is that 25% of us are god?..... Anyone share that view?

Without a doubt the best thing I've heard today:
"He actually kicked me!"
- Mr Bowler, responding to my tap. He shall feel true kickage in due course

Spenguin

I love thunderstorms! They is great! Sunny weather is good too sometimes, but it was nice for a change and it went on for almost a whole day. The rain wasn't good though. Yeah, leaves suck when they go all slippery and they're just waiting to trick you, and then you fall over. Reunion soon...

obviously not the lightening i saw thru the window and what not, cos that'd fry anyone.

It wasn't me!

On the subject of the reunion, I will not be there as I ship out to France the morning of the Saturday. Those of you who wish it may have hugs when I'm in the country.

Raphael

Ya I barely know him, but what little I saw of his ass was quite impressive.

But I was referring to the barry hating concerns

Aliminator

*bangs head on table*

Raphael

Oh. Sorry alim. I'm still incredibly jet-lagged

Awayindahils

On the subject of God and not lightening a moram or morham im not sur how to spell it spent a half hour tring to covert me and my friends in town today.Apprently the prophet/a prophet is among us at the moment...... :eek:

Zounds

Crash

Mormon.

Awayindahils

The person who came up with coin opperated lampposts and i dnt know how to spell it so interpret it as you wish and yeah mor-amm is it phonetically- they can have lots of wives

Raphael

hey, didnt i leave a flame parked somewhere around here...

Zounds

i did like to say how stupid and annoying it is that crash deleted aonghus' flame about Barry but as it might get me banned i won't.

Crash

Zounds: shut up. simple fact is i've just had to spend 15 minutes deleting **** and PM'ing people warning them of bringing personal **** onto the board. I thought you to be an innocent party but now it is obvious not. read the charter: NO FLAMING. take personal arguments off the site. got it?


Neil

Zounds

*whimper*
sorry

Raphael

Neil this isnt a personal problem, its me objecting to the amount of $hite and US army propoganda that barry has been posting recently

LOL that comment about the suck up. True, Mayhaps it was stoopid of me to say it. What are you on about? That doesn't make sense as a response to what I said earlier. you say obviously not the lightning you saw through the window would hit someone because it would fry anyone?

Actually it would seem to be a personal problem as you typed a very personal attack. now this is the last word on this i will have, discussion over. if you still have issues take it to PM.

theymademedoit

can you just ban zounds and get it over with? either that or lock this thread. im so filled with anger right now. grr. i think im going to change my avatar...

anyway, this thread just seems a way to drum up controversy.
:mad:

if only there was some moderator here to save us...

Aliminator

for fek's sake.
the people who claim to be hit by lightening are obviously not hit by the big fukers we saw on wednesday and thursday. if so, they would have been fried to a crisp

i apologise for communication problems, but fek's sake, i'm thinking of my finals in 10days time. and am only here for a distraction.

Zounds

Y ban me ? i didn't mean this thread to cause problems it just happened that way!!

Spenguin

I never said the people claimed to be hit by lightning, I just said people do get hit by lightning and I didn't say that they all survive it. It doesn't matter though.

Crash

Thread totally off topic. Locked.
