Are you a Mormon? I don't know anyone else who would prefer Joseph Smith over Jesus, Mohammed, or Moses as a prophet. (the tags)

^I'm a methodist,*sighs* I'll bet Jesus and others who tried to tell others what they had to say had this much trouble at first. I'm seriously trying to convay a message of truth handed to me by a goddess but no one wants to listen.

I'll continue even though no one here wants to take me seriously. and as I've stated before, I'M NOT ON DRUGS GALEFORE!!! and my parents have never had drugs either so leave them out of this!

point eight, the soul.
the soul is a hard thing to explain but I'll describe it the best way I can. the soul has 3 parts, the core, the secondary, and the current souls. the core is what you will always be no matter what body you inhabbit, the secondary is a collection of the lives you have lived, thus adding weight to your soul. then there is the current soul which is what you are in this lifetime. a soul does have a certain amount of time before it is recycled to make a new soul, of course that is determined by the number of full lifetimes you've lived.

point nine, Magic.
magic, real magic, does exist. it's all around us, and within us. but thanks to the efforts of Yahweh, his angles, and his magic hunters there are few who can access the magic within them in this day and age. the Wiccans, Satanists, voodooists, and those of similar religions are the ones able to access this magic within, but their numbers are growing.
but this brings me to something I need to say.

Point nine A, Magic Hunters.
magic hunters are creatures created by Yahweh that take the form of the dominant beings of a world and seek to destroy magical beings and humanoids who can access the magic within them. these creatures were what started the burning times and humans blindly followed Yahweh's creatures on a path of desturction, slaughtering the innocent in mass burnings and hangings. the goddess that I met was on earth during the burning times and she told me a group of humans raped her and tortured her repeatedly before finally killing her through burning her because she could access magic.

damn... I can't post anymore tonight, I'll get too emotional if I do. draw what conclusions you want from what I've posted so far, I really don't care, all I care about now is posting what I've been told by a goddess.

Yeah, maybe this would be more convincing if you weren't just spontaneously mixing elements of existing dogma, mythology, and fantasy with science fiction and random products of your imagination.

ZG, sometimes that line is very fine indeed.

but that's the underlying message I'm trying to get across, all religions are right in some respects and way off in others. but overall, there is an element of truth in everything. but I'm not making any of this up. if you guys actually met her then you would know this stuff without me having to act as her messenger! but this isn't the first time you guys have assaulted me, you guys assaulted me for trying to proove that dragons existed. I know I'm not crazy, in fact before I met that goddess I was just like you guys thinking that there was only one god and the other dogma spouted by christianity was true, but she awakened me to the truth.

After this statement, you really wonder why we questioned you?



You know, I think for your own sake, you should tell your parents. Maybe they can help you... or get you help.

Of course, this could always be just a desperate plea for attention... which is what I suspect it is. I suggest getting a day job, Inferno. Or at least a hobby.

I did that; it's a South Park reference.

I must wonder, why are you all calling this guy mental and all that? I mean sure some of the things are questionable, but doesn't this guy have the right to say and believe what he wants to believe and say? I mean sure, I don't believe in religion full stop, so I think that this is unbelievable but I don't go flaming him for it. Would you guys call someone who believed in the roman gods mental? I thought not.

</rant>

Edit: I just realized how weird this post was, but my point is, don't flame someone for the beliefs. :P

This makes about as mush sense as the Christian and every other Bible. As soon as you finish registering with the patent office and get the zoning papers, you can have yourself the beginnings of a legit religion.

In the words of L. Ron Hubbard,"*wheeze* The easiest way to make a buck nowadays is to start a cult."

Conversly you can hole up in Texas and create the always popular death cult.

And Raptor Jesus.

you know what, you guys aren't ready to know the truth. Masahiro is the ONLY person on PPR who has actually been nice about this where as the rest of you haven't said one kind word to me.

maybe if you spent less time saying I'm high or mentally unstable and more time to at least try to understand the truth then maybe you'd all learn something out of this. just because you have one set of beliefs doesn't mean you shouldn't listen to the viewpoint of others.

this is not a plea for attention ZG, I am not crazy, and I am not high, I am just trying to tell you guys what I know to be the truth. heh, I'd bet you'd all be going "ZOMG HE'S A PROPHET!!!11" if this were told to me by the christian god, or at least a famous god or goddess but because it's a goddess that none of you have heard of you think I'm crazy. but she is real, and since she is stuck in a physical form she has an e-mail address. so go ask her about this stuff. her addy is wrong addy, will post once I find it.. I hope this ends your doubts once and for all!!!

Considering I'm a firm atheist who doesn't believe in any God - Judeo, Hindu, Sihk or otherwise - I doubt it would matter.

Unfortuantely, all an e-mail address tells me is that someone out there can spin a good yarn over the Internet. An e-mail address is hardly going to convince me. In fact, nothing short of the 'goddess' blowing my door down and floating inside while glowing could really convince me. And even then only after I'd checked for strings.

I don't think people should flame you for your beliefs, but equally I think it's incredibly naive to think that anyone is going to change their belief system because they read something on the Internet.

ID, if you're trying to argue the point that religions are baseless and prophets should be regarded as nuts, would you hurry up?

Sai, I don't know what you're talking about. If you're saying I was defending Scientology, you have the reading comprehension of PZoH.

Note how only religions you've heard of are incorporated in this, while there's nothing from more obscure ones, even though they're equally "true," according to you.

That thing about the e-mail address is pretty hilarious, though.

Okay to sort this all out.

Firstly Dragons do exist. Dragon
Right now that's fixed second thing.

ID, if goddess that your speaking to was the real deal. Surely she would have picked someone who was slightly more, you know higher up in social/business/Real life stuff. Say if the Pope started going on about your Godess, as did every other high person in reglious terms started going on about her. Then I would probably start thinking she was real.

But some kid on the internet, who for the better part that I remember, wrote stories (and don't get me wrong they were good stories). It don't really hold much water.

Saying that neither do I, let's get away from these power cables.

Inferno Dragon, what you are saying has absolutely no basis whatsoever. It does nothing to explain how and why these things exist, or to prove that they do.

First of all, it doesn't matter what religion you come from - by claiming yourself to be a special prophet of "mother goddess" you not only make yourself out to be clinically insane and extremely gullible, but egotistic as well. What you are doing is making claims with no evidence whatsoever to back them up with.

These ideologies likely stem from a very quixotic individual who was so into the stories of dragons and magic and wizards that they went out and tried to prove that it was real, because they so badly desired it to be. When they found no proof, they found a bunch of gullible persons to spread the word to, and because that person happened to know so much about all the mythologies, they were able to sound convincing enough to brainwash people into following them.

If these gods and goddesses needed to create mortals to worship them in order for them to exist (sounds familiar, no?) as you say so in your original thread starting post, then HOW THE HELL DID THEY EXIST IN THE FIRST PLACE?

Last of all, if Wiccans and Voodoo practitioners are able to use magic, how come the love spell a Wiccan tried to cast on me didn't work?

Okay, ID. Let's say that what you claim is the truth. You actually were visited by a goddess. Then what? People aren't going to believe what you say if you don't have anything to back it up. What did Jesus do during his career? (By the way, I'm an atheist.) He performed miracles, he peformed inhuman feats, which made people believe he really was the son of God. I'm not saying that you need to go around performing miracles (though it would certainly help), but if this goddess really wants you to spread the word, wouldn't it make sense that she'd try to help you a bit? I don't know what the hell she wants, but before anyone will believe you, you need something to back up your beliefs. Hope I've been helpful.
