I quite like zorro, hes clearly invested in the theme and gets his jollies from it which isnt the worst thing in the world.
I wonder what his world is like interpreting every little thing as a sign or influence. Its very nuanced and rather archiac, hes already found god whether its real or not doesnt really matter. |

dark matter 26 percent of the universe.
dark energy 70 percent of the universe. that's 96 percent of the universe that's missing fellas. 4 percent is all you guys are basing your lives on in science. you can't see gravity but trust it's there? you breath in all day, stuff you cannot see? you ignore beauty and emotions - calling them synaptic firings and chemical reactions. you collect songs, music, knowledge to feed a brain that will die. why? you are an animal. animals don't compose sonnets. you forget miracles and wonders and focus on your belly button fluff. sad sacks.  |

so you own dark matter now too?
Dont recall the bible covering it..... |

By:
zorro that is like saying if a tree falls in the woods and nobody is around to hear it....does it make a noise?
you don't have to see or hear things to know they exist But science has proved Oxygen exist, they even knew it's chemical properties |

Some religious people may be mentally ill. Absolutely, yes. Especially those with weak constitutions and believe all they hear.
Others may be ill through reading all they read. I am a Christian chap and feel the Holy Spirit in my life regularly. I get gassed from time to time, which I shouldn't really, but have my reasons. All you guys dissing Jesus Christ should take a few moments to invite Him into your life sometime you have some time to yourself and are seeking a deeper meaning to life. Sure, **** happens - such as African children being born into a life of poverty / slavery etc. satan (with a small "s") was sent to rule Earth many moons ago. he's doing a fine job ... but his time for damnation will come ... and it's getting less. |

"The Scriptures tell us that God not only created the universe, but that He sustains it. That is, God did not “wind it up and let it go.” Rather, He oversees its ongoing operation just as He oversaw its original creation. Who builds something and does not maintain it?"
Hebrews 1:1, 2, 3 – “…and upholds all things by the word of His power…” so maybe the missing 96 percent is God in action. an atom is all empty space - The diameter of a hydrogen atom is roughly 100,000 times larger than a proton. yet you think all your stuff is solid? it's just electro magnetic. it's what stops your arris falling thru your seat when you sit. http://keithcom.com/atoms/scale.php |

leopard - Religion is just people trying to control other people.
what's politics? want to join the army? Your job? do you do what the boss says? the police, lawyers, traffic wardens. do you recycle properly, we can check you know? Satellites are watching you. I agree religion does that. But Jesus did not come to form a religion. That's a bustardization of his teachings. He tells us we are Kings and priests. We are the authority. No middle men needed. So the guy in the suit or the clown costume is not needed. They might occasionally have a good insight but it's about the book and you. you read the bible and the bible reads you. |

I like this zorro and i often like to use it in deep conversation after a rum or two. It is a fact that science has discovered and is discovering further that the universe is of hologram form and there are no solids as you point out. Never the less, stargazers from the iron age knew feck all of this. The bible is talks nothing of this. The iron age version of God is far removed from the scientific version of events. |

Let's invent an idea. Then use it to control people. Very clever idea to keep the proles in line.

All man influenced based on desire. Just as God was likely his creation....just not a very good one so as to required euphemism and metaphor to encompass the meaning of everything. |

Run for your life from any man who tells you that money is evil. That sentence is the leper's bell of an approaching looter. Ayn Rand every corrupt man loves Ayn Rand. |

Well, which fookin god should I be following then??
The mussie one, or the christian one, or buddist one (well they've got fookin 8, I'm told), or shinto ... wiki says they've got 8 million!! 8 million FFS. Nah, I'll just not bother and see what happens. |

No one has spoken to God, anyone who claims they have is either a liar or mentally ill.

Zenmaster - you are an idiot - almost everyone has spoken to God. It's whether God answers them.. that's the sticking point.
|
|
By:
clearly choosy then eh zorro
but clearly thats the fault of the fallible creation and not the maker. So what say you about the fact the secular saved the jews and artificially placed them back where they wanted to live? |
|
By:
Zorro, can you speak to me if i am not on the forum?
|
|
By:
By the way ZENMASTER - I passed the message you left to the Queen and the rozza's are coming round to kneecap you. You might be aware the Queen mentioned God a lot in the Christmas message. She said - after the gang kneecaps the zenmaster spray paint his aarse red and lead him out to a field and let the bulls 'ave 'im. Nonce.
Those were her actual words. God won't be my judge on that, as I took the free pardon. you sad sacks. |

My vocation is innovation zorro, I saw you mention once you were a graphic designer, well I am/was one of 'things'.
Industrial designer originally, and no matter how good you are the vast majority of stuff fails, the thought each of those failures is the fault of the product and not the creator sounds smashing...if fanciful. |
