This whole topic went down the drain I think, mainly because of the last pages and how uninteresting, and relatively stupid the discussion became.
Kerasu and Ikabod I stopped reading your posts, not only because they lack content, but also because no capitals. CK has made no arguments, rather states single premises without support. The fogies including jar and RAZD, and omnivorous started quoting songs and stuff lol. Schrafinator gave up on the topic, and aggressively wanted to know things about me that were not even important or relevant to the seeking of knowledge or truth. Archer and the guy with the green avatar made meaningless posts. And messenjah fought with these people over nothing.
There we are I guess.
This one is done probably. Peace.

or perhaps you stopped reading my posts (and my name is kuresu, not kerasu) because they contain an element of truth that you don't want to hear?
Uhm yeah, no, Uh yeah, no, I don't think, yeah no, nope.
For example, I can't remember anything besides your previous classes that you have wrote. This is not to degrade you and stuff, it's just that I don't think that you have provided much content in your posts. I am sure there are those here who feel the same about me I guess.

Why don't you go back through the thread and see if you can figure out how they could be?
You're line of questioning was designed to make me "admit" that I have accepted the benefits of mass production/capitalism/greed/exploitation.
You have asked "Where did you get that guitar?", and similar questions.
I don't know why you got so mad, whatever.
Yes I have many things that were made under capitalism, and yes I use them. I live under capitalism, I did not choose where I was born. Now that I have realized what it is all about, there are not many other places to live a life without having to struggle to survive that are not under capitalism. So although I believe that it is "messed up", you think I should be happy that I have all these wonderful things. I play guitar for the sounds, and for the music, and for the ability to go places through the feelings. I realize that it is an instrument made by factory workers under capitalism. Doing jobs, jobs that I find trivial. But music is a worthwhile purpose.
I would not call myself a hypocrite. I understand the meaninglessness of most purposes, especially those under systems like capitalism. But then again with any system there are trivialities that must be entertained to continue to exist. I am less interested in government, and society lately because I am more interested in truth and Jesus. Jesus, meaning everything that is good and righteous in the world, and in my life, and transcendence.
But I feel that I can rise above the trivialities of government, and society, and empires. And history. I have learned a lot, and I have begun to figure out that none of it is important, if only to show me what is really good.
I am sorry if you thing I avoided your line of questioning, but I was on another plane I believe.
Tell me what you think.

Re: Warning to Schraf!

This is very easy to clean-up, Prophex just needs to inform us how he is putting his fine words into action and is not actually full of shit.
I hope my response is straightforward and clear enough for all to understand.
Long ago I decided to give my life to search of knowledge. To the understanding of God. To truth. Salvation is a common term for it.
More recently I have also decided to give my life to my guitar, to music. To pursue this, my brother and I have been working on some quite promising material, we will begin this coming week to do open mics furiously until we feel that we can move on to bigger gigs, which we have connections with from previous efforts in a rock band.
I guess I want to show you guys that I am not going to be mediocre, I really am going to be something good. I'm not a hypocrite who can type this stuff from a computer, I really am working on it.
It's lame to "prove myself" to an internet community, but I have enjoyed much of my time here, and it has helped me develop ideas more coherently, and to form stronger arguments for my ideas. The debates have given me some good stuff.
There will come a time when this forum might not exist, and when the oldies here are long gone, and when the younger crowd is as old as they were. The contribution that has been made to the indivuduals who post here is really something special. Thanks a lot to everyone here, I think it has helped me grow I guess, with my beliefs and everything. And this isn't a farewell, but I think about these things sometimes, about when Percy and Jar, and Phat, and RAZ'd, and Buzsaw, and all these guys are far too old to type.
I can still remember all of you guys, DC85, Rrhain, mike the wiz, Lam, schraf, crashfrog, Nosyned, rei, mr hamrbe, Brian, the young creationist from florida, mark24, dan carroll, berberry, mammothus, robinrohan, pink sasquatch, asgara, holmes, nwr, truecreation, yaro, mick, loudmouth minnemoose, quetzal sidelined, lizardbrain, irishrochhound, paulk, tal, kendyemer, and the list goes on. I've been here a long time posting, used to make topics with answers and genesis copy and pastes, and evidence from Dr. Hovind. Prophecyexclaimed, and Iron Man were my old names. But yeah, crazy stuff.

Re: In summation
Jesus has come to represent the manifestation of his ideas I guess.
What is good.
