OK.i thought if i posted this..it wouldn't be like 7,004,333,567,543,345 posts long.. so STOP POSTING.ok? Hence why I got on your case for making such an irresponsible post. It didn't take a lot of forethought (or much of any) to figure out that a major controversial topic would spawn this kind of chaos. And this is controlled chaos--a lot of people simply didn't post or kept their posts limited to one or two just because they didn't want to get involved in a long drawn-out debate on the forums. The whole thing could easily have gotten to be 3 or 4 times as big. If anything this thread was kept somewhat under control by people who actually did think it through. Now I don't mean to go on attack, so please don't take this as such, but you don't really put enough thought into anything you post. You have a penchant for making posts just to slam people, using foul language when upset, posting threads like this one, and posting threads in entirely the wrong place. I wish there was a gentler way to say that, but there isn't. Please, ShadowSiientx, think before you post--I don't mean briefly, but actually stop and take time to consider what you're posting (and where) before you do it. It will help you, and it will help all of us too. Lummox JR | |
They actually had a website about it? Ive been stocking up on as much texts as I could find in this damn town *Only 3 big books*, If I knew there was a site it woulda been a bit easier. ;-D
--Ken-- P.S: Im still gonna keep trying, just to see energies, im not gonna try to become that advanced, Also I can kinda compare other's energies to mine, but it makes your stomach feel wierd sometimes. | |
I can say Earth is a god, and still mean what im saying, like the 4 meanings for the word "God" i gave, notice not ALL are a supernatural entity, so Yep yep yep im right on that. its just your still stuck on me saying the world is supernatural.

Dictionary definitions are listed in order of significance/relevance. The primary definition is the big monotheistic Judeo-Christian deity. The secondary definition is an entity with more than natural (supernatural) attributes. You asked which is the real definition... well, these are them if any are. Three and four are included only for the sake of completeness. They are, as someone else pointed out, idiomatic. They're actual definitions, mind you, but they only apply as figures of speech.
The earth is an object of supreme value to us, so figuratively, it is a god. Literally? Nope. From the very start, I said your theory worked just fine as a metaphor (a comparison, a figure of speech), but it can't go any further than that. I'm not "stuck on" you saying the world is supernatural. I'm stuck on the fact that you're espousing a paradox. "There is no god and his name is Bob." makes as much sense as what you're saying. | |
he is saying there is no god in deffenition that you are trying to give, but the real god is our earth, thats what he is saying entirly, and dont say its not.

wered did god come from

I know what he's saying. What he's saying is wrong.
Notice that I'm not saying there's anything that can fulfill the literal definition of god. The earth certainly doesn't. It is not literally a god. It's a rock. A dynamic rock. A nurturing rock. A life-supporting rock. A rock, nonetheless. It fits definition three, which is not literal, so it can be spoken of as a god, compared to being a god, etc. It is not, however, a god. If we believe the earth is more than inanimate rock, we can believe it is one. He manifestly doesn't believe it is more, so for him to call it a god is ridiculous. | |
the greeks though that the sea, sky, planets, sun and almost everything else that is greater than us was a god, there even was a god of love. So are you saying the greeks had it all wrong? That your beleife is better than theres because you say so? WB beliefe is very simular to theres. Ecpept the greeks had to have a face behind the names.

The sea itself was not a god. Anyway, I'm done here, for now and forever. =P | |

The Greeks believed there were supernatural beings in charge of/representing all of those things. They had a god of the sea, a god of the sky, a god of the sun, etc. These beings had feelings, thoughts, likes, dislikes, etc... they were entities apart from their offices. Even more ancient peoples believed that rocks and plants themselves harbored spirits, much like animals and people do, which made them every bit as much alive and thus capable of being communicated with or worshipped. This belief is called animism. WB belief falls into neither of these categories. He doesn't believe there is a god of earth... he doesn't believe the earth is alive. He believes the earth is a big pile of dirt and rock and other things. He calls that dead, unthinking lump "god". That is why his belief is ridiculous. The ancient Greeks might've been wrong in believing that natural forces were controlled by supernatural beings. The animists might've been wrong in believing that natural objects were intelligent beings. Right or wrong, their decision to worship these forces and objects was based on their beliefs and so was logical from their viewpoint. WB's decision to label an earth which he doesn't believe to be alive or aware in any form "god" is illogical. | |
Yes because if not where did we all come from...

And just how do you know she wants you to be loyal to her? Did she visit your home? Called you on the phone? Wrote a 'Dear Dizzy: please be loyal to me or I will damn you for eternity' letter? | |
No, there have been several much larger than yours. ;)
