Article in Question : Who Was Jesus?
Comment : Religion sure gets us into trouble - doesn't it just lol. You know, it was instilled into me as a child, that I am here to find, locate even: Jesus (when I say locate, I mean as in to point the finger). And even in writing that statement, I cringe - laugh even. I could point you to thousands of people that could wear that title, but what good would it do? It just seems so pointless, as in, oh there's Jesus - AND??? So yea, I wonder what the point in this exercise is. I could take you to the moon and back, and to the stars above and the heavens within your reach, but would you really care to look, would you really care to see, to experience even?
They say that Jesus was due to show face, sometime around now (as in our time) but even if Jesus were to turn up, what would anyone do, and likewise how would anyone recognise the poor freak (FREAK??? - yea, cause that's exactly what people would call a Modem Day Jesus). So my question is, does anyone fancy a change in Career?Response :
Wow! Those there are some strong words, especially the part where you say, "FREAK....". But you do hit some very good statements there. Today, I think most people "would" consider or call a modern day Jesus a "freak". Excellent comment!

Belief : Article in Question : Origin of Allah?
Comment : Hi,
I read your article in regards to the origin of Allah that this name was used by pre islamic pagans for their main god which was moon.
I was wondering if you would know that was this name used even before those pagans or not? I mean where did those pagans get Allah's name from?
thanks very much.
regards.Response :
Well, if you go back to the 3rd paragraph in the article, it would explain it a bit. A common belief amongst scholars is the fact that "Allah", as the word, originated from the word, "illa"... which was a generic word for "a" god. In other words, it was a common word that might have been found in the dictionary...if they had dictionaries back then. Amongst pagans, the word "Allah" never was in reference to "The" God that Muslims worship or any other religion. It was a basic word that meant "A God" or "The God". However, some pagans did use that "word" to refer to their pagan gods, particularly their Moon God. It was the Muslims that took that word and made it as a reference to "their" god. Thus, "Allah" is no longer a "word", but now a "name". Of course, this is all according to scholarly history and popular beliefs.

Article in Question : Religion vs Cults
Comment : I agree with you. I am doing reseacher for a paper and came acrossed this. Here is what I believe both religion and cult goes hand and hand. For some reasons they both have someone is worshipping,riturals,and prayers. Both believe in a higher being and both are trying to get many people to join. I stop going to church because I happen to believe in God but I also believe thatI control what happens to my life. I believe there are many Gods and I also think none of them are completely true and if I am wrong then I believe God will know my heart. Response :
Hmmm, interesting set of beliefs. I've never actually "heard" anyone say that they believe in God but at the same time, believe that they are the master of their destiny. Just becareful because a Christian zealot will surely bash you for saying such and Catholic (still Christian) zealot will mostly likely condemn you to hell or lynch you, whichever might be available at the time. But I'm curious as to know what or who you mean by "God".

Article in Question : Real Christianity
Comment : Sadly I agree with you!
what we see today is not even a cheap plastic imitation.
I an a Brother of the Celi-De our ways and traditions come from before Rome it is believed, from the community from Galatia. We are not the original but we seek it with all our hearts. Being Mystics we have contributed a lot of crap to the pool of faith, we are seeking to clean up our mess.
But what we do know is.... that in some way we seem to be close to the original
Our way seeks the original through - "As I was sent so I send you"
simply, man to God, expressed though community
we become brothers, "to whom are you a brother" "To whoever needs one"
No effort or faith or belief can make you better than another
greater service can make you more useful though.
Coming together to strengthen and teach one another.
we become autonomous wanders establishing cells to serve their local communities, without any discrimination.
Money given, is for the poor and needy, not us or our organization.
leadership is responsibility driven, power is a corruption.
Because of our ways we dont have a bureaucracy,
my costs are my rent and food, and from here I serve...
as do all the Celi-De...
In the beginning God created Man in his own Image,
We naturally want to return the compliment.
I know we can be silly at times, but then again we do laugh at our selfs.
I felt so much intune with your rage, at the crap being sold as gold, I wanted to write to agree with you.Response :
Wow. To be honest with you, I've never heard of "Celi-De". If I have, I can't remember anything about it. However, you stated some excellent comments;
"...we have contributed a lot of crap to the pool of faith, we are seeking to clean up our mess.".
And...
"In the beginning God created Man in his own Image,
We naturally want to return the compliment.".
I'll for sure have to look into this system. Who knows, I might even learn a few revelations. Thanks for reading my article.

Sad to say DwayneHoover130, but there's only a handful of us out there. Kudos to you for not conforming to the mindless ideologies of the masses. And for the rest of you folks, don't be like a sheep led into slaughter, but think for yourselves; or as the saying goes, think outside the box.
