Since we all grew up knowing only the things in the box, this is all most people ever see about God. They think it is all God is. But i'm here to tell you it's not true. The stuff religion teaches does not necessarily have anything to do with God. We need to think outside of the box religion has placed the illusion of God in. Look beyond the portrait painted by religion. Because God is real, just not the God of current religions. Just as God does not sit on a mountain throwing lightning bolts, God does not do the things claimed in current religions. We need to distinguish the factual information about God from the non-factual. Which, of course, is incredibly difficult to do. But, the first thing any of us need to do is understand the possibility that God has nothing to do with current religions. Just as God had nothing to do with religions of old.

Think outside the box. Unlearn what you've learned about God through religion. And then maybe you'll be able to find some truth about God.

This is really good stuff. Religion has placed God in a box, however, when did Jesus ever fit into that box??? Altho I tend to think the religions of old (at least intitially) did have an understanding that we don't.

Again I keep reiterating about this but it's all in Bible interpretation - the Bible is an unusual book because it is 'self-interpreting'. When we let it 'interpret itself' rather than trying to tell it what it says, then the Bible becomes the truly astonishing book we heard it is supposed to be. I have serious evidence for what I say; search VINDICATUS at Lulu.com to read my reserach (too indepth to place on a post).

heh, i have a friend that's said something to think about about that, he said:
"well, really do you think that god is better then satan? consider this, god goes around and says, well i dont want you, you did this, and you are not going to heaven because of this and that, but satan welcomes everyone no matetr what they have done in their past, so which one of them is good and which one is bad?

What Wizdumb said is very good theology.

Well.....

I personally know the Prophet of Watsjoukak. His name is Wiewilweet. And He's been travelling the World for ages now spreading His Word.

His main message is known as the Daarsniekaknie.

And it's all about love and peace and everything nice.

So, after the revelation of Wiewilweet's teachings, I believe in my heart to be a Watsjoukakian.

And here's the crunch: Who can disprove this? Why would Jesus be elevated in any way or form above Wiewilweet, and why would God be any higher in purpose or form than Watsjoukak?

The story of God and Jesus is so universal in human matters, that it should be obvious that the allegory and metaphor disproves His/Her existence.

Truly excellent! This post is an absolute gem, Boerseun. Daarsmosgeenkaknie!

O.K. so where is the 'written' account of Daarsniekaknie?

You have 'no' actual proof!!! Where is the 'physical evidence' for what you say?

The Bible, specifically the Old Testament is 'ancient' - an actual 'written' account, the fact that it is interpreted incorrectly takes away from it's uniqueness, nevertheless, it is 'evidence', whereas you have presented none.

This is Boerseun's belief - and according to the arguments made by believers in other threads, he doesn't need any "physical evidence". He just has to believe in the existence of the prophet Wiewilweet and cling to the gospel of Daarsniekaknie.

I think he has converted me to the fundamental teachings of Watsjoukak.

I do see what you mean However, the religions of the world are founded upon some 'written' work - they are not just pulling something out of the air.

Case in point:

Scientology was 'pulled out of the air' by L. Ron Hubbard, in the process winning him a bet that he made with a friend of his that he will invent a religion within ten years. This came after a discussion they had about Religion being the easiest, surest way to make money. Today, in our 'enlightened' information age, there are Scientology centres world-wide.

Mr. Hubbard won his bet hands-down.

'Dianetics', the book that started it all, is being peddled to this day all over the world with total disregard to it being complete and utter hogwash.

Famous idiots who fell for it and are proud to describe themselves as 'Scientologists', include pint-sized Tom Cruise.

I'm sure if you give me enough time, I can come up with the complete Written Word of Watsjoukak. And have a few converts soon enough. And be rolling in dough soon after.
With the current bloom in revivalist and charismatic churches it seems that people are experiencing a growing need for 'feel-good' messages or groupings or simply have a need to 'belong' to something. And if you see the luxury the Jimmy Swaggarts of this world cover themselves in, it also seems that the members of these churches are willing to part with a sizable chunk of their wages for the priviledge of hearing that particular message.

The time is ripe, brothers and sisters! All hail Watsjoukak!
