Are you suggesting that it's a bad thing to be a follower of the Dark Lord ?


(waits for comments from a certain Nirvana fan)

[rarsa]

Finally the All mighty heard our pledges. I hope he does not ask for this puppy's sacrifice.

According to the Book of Revelation, the number six hundred and three scores and six is not a number of a dog. It's a number of a man. I can't see any associaition with puppy.

[Lobster]

It is quite common when the bio-OS begins closing down (known as death) for people to see or sense the shape of a grey or black dog. This is where the myth of dogs guarding Hades may have come from.

I hope to see a puppy . . .

Most things are a product of the mind (I lost mine a long time ago - along with my soul - sold it - they offered me a refund)

or following the white line for too many miles with not anywhere near the right amount of sleep............it's a fever....the dog'll get ya.....if not the dog the bloody 'roos will........

Anyways we don't have any written record from the devil himslef...so how can we judge him with all the evidence being a little bit one sided.........

[klhrevolutionist]

We can not judge lucifer, however we can acknowlegde that GOD
is right always. Make no mistakes about it, GOD warned us of great deception.
It is written and past down through the ages, What does it bother "you" meaning anybody, that all HE ask is that you acknowledge 10 laws and HIS SON.
For eternal life? Uh, wow only 10 laws? And acknowledgement of one SON?

Well, call me a fool but I can deal with that. If it means I have to be kind unto others, well call me a fool but that is actually a great reward in itself.
I don't know?
I can understand people's doubts, I've been there and it is hard.
However, when you stop and look at everything from a view that is hard to
describe, you just see the madness of it all, and that GOD does exist.

In order for me to be where I am today it took remembering what I had ask of
JESUS, and I looked on my past and saw that it had been given to me,
the mind tends to forget, but like I said just one day stop and look
and be openminded like you never have before, you will probably notice
and remember all things you should know, and that is that GOD loves you.
And he gave HIS only SON for us.
It is hard to accept, but look around at life the lies deception, all of it
and think if people followed ten stupid laws and beleived in one SON,
this world would be better, grand, spectacular, HEAVEN.

If you believe that that's good for you


Some have other beliefs, some have none

tee hee - watch out for those roos . . .
Was it the 'speed' and wizz of Puppy that attracted you? I remember one time I had been on the computer for too long (that is like a drug) I knew it was too long because the prompt >
. . . moved across the screen (hey that happens) but it did not stay on the screen - kept moving. I then concluded with what little rationality remained that this was unreal and I needed a break . . . maybe it was a sign? [. . . ahem]

BSD have a devil as their mascot.
There are works ascribed to Venus (or Lucifer as she is sometimes known) - most of it is drivel. The Book of the Beast and the Necronomicon (I think it is) and the Book of Shadows (written by Buffy Summers I believe with help from Willow) are all pretty tame. In Freemasnry the use and undestanding of Lucifer is quite profound and utlised effectively. In Alchemy (my old specialisation) the understanding of the 'Darke Arte' is so veiled, that even alchemists such as ex-Popes and Isaac Newton could not fathom it - which leaves me out.
In Europe devils became gargoyles to protect Churches, in Buddhism they protect the temples and teachings, in America they elect them.

In the UK we now have (I believe) 30 000 followers of the Jedi religion.

May the Force be With you.

Who said GOD is DOG spelled backwards.

Belief is a great thing.

I believe I am going to die.

[Lobster]

In Islam the dog is an unclean animal - just as a pig or lobster is not kosher in orthodox Judaism.
Some Sufis (an Islamic sect) have high regard for dogs (and Lucifer).
As for dying, there are more theories than verified returners. In Buddhism (which does not teach reincarnation in some schools), death is seen as inevitable - like suffering and joy.
As some of you know I like fantasy as much as the next lunatic but it would be crazy to expect others to confirm, confine or customise their Linux or beliefs to my preferences . . .

LOL!

We do do some strange things over here. Like eating lasagna. A lasagna is a single lasagna noodle. Lasagne is multiple noodles, which is what we actually eat. We also complain about obiesity and eat at McDonnalds, and sell such oxymorons "low carb bread." One thing that confounds me is people who call hunting barbaric and immoral, while we raise, imprison, breed, and fatten cows with the sole purpose of butchering them to make hamburgers, and that is considered fine and dandy. I have no problem with either, having grown up in the county on a farm, but the logic behind dissing hunting is confusing. At least with hunting, the animal has a chance to escape, and has lived a free and happy life (hopefully).

We do do a couple things right, however. One thing is driving on the right side of the road. Think about it: The right (the direction) side is the right (correct) side. Otherwise, you could drive on the right side of the road and the wrong side of the road at the same time! The whole "no royalty" thing is another plus. I don't understand why someone should be automatically better because some ancestor of their's killed a bunch of people (or just ordered their army to kill them). The desendant did absolutely nothing. It was his ancestor. So why should he be rewarded? And should the ancester even be rewarded in the first place? Some of them were all right, but others......

Anyways, would you call every book that has 1000 pages evil because of one page? Of course not. If a hippo weighed 665 pounds one day, then gained a pound, would that then make it evil? Nope. It's no omen either (well, maybe since it's underweight, but that's different). It's just one being's ID number. It is significant if it refers to him, but otherwise it means nothing. If something has the number 3515, (my fake school ID number), does that make it a reference to me? Not unless it refers to me, which it likely does not. Page 3515 of your history book has no relation to me (at least I hope not....). Someone who's PIN is 8675307 probably has no relation to the fictional Jenny. They're just numbers, only significant if ment to be.

Regardeless of what one believes, one must believe in something. The proof is that you are. Yeah, it might be possible for humans to come into existance, build cities, and create operating systems; to feel pain and happiness; to reason and become unreasonable; but that doesn't explain you. I mean the part of you that is inside, looking out at the world. You can have 6 billion people running around thinking and programming, but that you are inside one of them is an anomoly. It is my belief that that part is the soul. You can call it what you will, and believe what you want, but the existance of the soul cannot be discounted. It is no "natural" developement. It is "supernatural." You can believe it was given to you from a giant puppy in the sky, from God, or from your pet turtle, but it came from somewhere.

I quote "natural" and "supernatural", because depending on what you believe, the supernatural could be perfectly natural. God created praying mantises. Does that make a praying mantise supernatural? So by natural I mean "coming into existance without intervention from another being," more or less. That doesn't really work either, because I am a result of my mother and father, but you get my drift (I hope...).

That's just my pocket change. Take it or leave it, it makes no difference to me. I have plenty of cash in my wallet, but I think that's enough for today. I have homework I need to be doing

[rarsa]

but the existance of the soul cannot be discounted

Why? because you believe on it?

Maybe it's just a matter of labels. If you define soul as a methaphysical entity that define us. I can discount it.

If you define soul as our identity (without the 'methaphysical' label) I cannot discount it.

So, we may be talking about the same thing but attributing it a different origin. Neither of which can be proven or disproven ... yet.

We are physical entities and are ruled by physical laws. If you call that God, good.

If conservation of matter and energy can be called ethernal life, and that fits your rational needs, great.

So there is a rational need for religion for some people and that's OK.
There is a rational for not believeing in supernatural entities and that's OK.

Regardeless of what one believes, one must believe in something

Of course we all believe in something, Whatever we cannot prove we have to believe. That does not mean that we have to believe in the supernatural.

We can preach our own beliefs. We should never try impose them.

[Pizzasgood]

Hmmm... It's hard to explain what I meant. Like, the you that is in you. I can see where it would be possible for a dude named Pizzasgood to be running around, but I am in me, if that makes sense. It's not just people doing stuff, there are people in the people. So unless I'm the only person who is like that, that can't be denied. I can't even plead insanity on this, because I am here, whether I am insane or not. Like I said, it doesn't have to be called a soul, that's just what I call it. You can call it whatever you want. But it's there. Either that or I am the only real person here, and I'm just dreaming all of you into existance (entirely possible, I'm not exactly mentally stable....), but for real people who aren't figments of my imagination, it exists. That or I'm just the only person with a soul. Hmmm.... I never thought of it that way....
I wish I could describe it better, but I can't.

Now, if you believe a soul as I just (hopefully) defined it can come into existance with no supernaturalness, then I guess you can get away without believing in some kind of supernatural. But I don't think that is possible. The only real way out is to deny that there is a little you inside you. In which case you aren't real and I need to see a psychiatrist.

I'm just trying to prove the existance of some kind of supernatural, whether it be aliens, God, Fate, giant turtles with a world on their backs, or the Force. Souls are supernatural, so that shows that there is supernatual. That's all it does, though. What you believe is up to you.

But hey, if you deny you have a soul, I guess that's your problem. Maybe you don't.
But if you don't exist, I guess your opinion doesn't matter! (just kidding. all of you figments of my imagination matter)

These are just my beliefs, and if I seem to insist on something, that's also a belief, and I'm not actually insisting. I just sound that way. I've been writing essays, so I'm in "my way's right even if it's wrong if I can defend it" mode, if you know what I mean. We aren't supposed to say "I believe this, I believe that," we are supposed to say "this is the way it is."

Oh, and by you, I don't mean you, rarsa, I just mean whoever. My English teacher would have a fit with all this second person stuff

[Lobster]

In the Turing test AI is based on appearance.
In the human being (I wrote humming being by mistake - which I think is better), consciousness - which you term soul - is dependent on processing. When you sleep where does your soul go?
So it may be that soul conciousness is a result of sufficient aggregates of processing:

Sensations of Body
Perception of processing
Memories and impressions

that sort of thing. In other words you exist (or have a soul) when you process. When these components that give life and being dissolve completely. . . the computer - she gone . . . but some old components and a new motherboard may create a new Puppy.

Psst - anyone wanna buy a soul?

PS. Just had a dream about my imaginary psychiatrist - she thinks life is meaningless but I managed to comfort her - poor thing . . .

[Guest]

V Oh please I do not think so.

[Pizzasgood]

Eh? What don't you think? That Puppy is evil? That we are part of the Matrix? That I have a brain? Enlighten us
