Re: Word Salad with Dressing
I believe that angels were given limited free will in that once they freely decided what to believe they could not change their mind.
I believe that humanity is at 0 and that God is 1 and that only through Jesus can people make the leap from 0 to 1.
In essence, God sent 1 to 0 to make 0=1. Sounds silly, I know.
It DOES sound silly Phat. Maybe it sounds silly because it really IS silly...?

Re: Whoppers
sounds like quite a fish story. The bad guy becomes the good guy while the good guy is really the bad guy.... Ringo agrees with you. He thinks satan got a bad rap.
Jar thinks satan is simply a tool and has no real power. Which sounds like something a bad guy may want you to believe... oh well
Again Phat, You are the one trying to take silly things seriously. I'm pretty sure Jar, Ringo, Frako etc... are having fun playing with mythological scenarios. You by contrast are in the position of insisting that a mythological anti-hero is a real and present danger to us. That's really strange, right? Just because you WANT it to be true?
And who seriously reads Mark Twain as Scripture? You seem to just make stuff up as you go, and that is not how reality works.

Re: Whoppers
reality works in ways that you have not measured yet nor understood...
the perception---lack of evidence---will vanish and truth will soon become evident to all...
We understand you have to tell yourself this. But you see our perspective, right? You are a modern man trying to make sense of the Universe in the light of one particular ancient mythology. I mean, I do understand you. I used to be a preacher, called by God, dedicated to His work. I understand you...don't think I don't. But the only things you have...the only things...are your desperate want and need for them to be true (faith), and tomorrow. "Tomorrow you'll see. I know there's nothing today, like there was nothing yesterday, like there was nothing the day before...but TOMORROW!!! Tomorrow I will be vindicated and you will all fall in reverence before my mythological and heretofore invisible heroes, now made visible!" The problem with tomorrow is that it never really comes, especially when we are waiting for the appearance of invisible people who can do magic.
I pray for everyone I talk to
Thank you! But can you see that you talking to invisible people who can do magic doesn't really mean anything, right? Sorry if I sound offensive. But I have spent hundreds of hours fasting and talking to invisible magical beings just like you, before I saw the light. You pray for me, I wish reality for you. It isn't as bad as you think it's going to be. I promise!
