Symbols on the American dollar bill - Page 2

RedS! 

Of course I have done my research. Let us start at the year this design was published and used as legal tender in the fledgling USA. What was that exactly, you must know! 

And if you take that number and add all the digits and minus one digit you come up with 13 does that mean something to the Mayans? lol.

GSD Admin,

Are you saying that you don’t believe in words? You want me to prove to you that the Bible is Ultimate truth without using words? Because you don’t believe in words and I can’t use words! Well I don’t accept your belief that words don’t exist, I don’t accept your standard…But for the sake of argument if words didn’t exist you couldn’t argue anyway, the fact you able to make your case demonstrates that it is wrong. You just used words to tell me that you don’t believe in words, do you see how absurd that is, I am just reflect back your philosophy, what are you going to say now? If you say nothing then my point stand un-refuted but if you saying anything proves my point.

 

All you have is words. Words aren't proof of God. There is The Devils bible, is it the truth, after all it is words.

The Indians have Gods why don't you believe their Gods? In the name of Christianity, Indians were slaughtered. You know those pesky little heathens that were in the way of the white Christians, remember them?

hey! Dark Horse is one of my favs 
Certainly don't take it as a course in theology,,,
My son came home from school and said, " I need a real Bible" lol ,,,
King James fanatics!! Gotta love them! Apparently our NIV has the address of the devil in the index!!  Funny stuff...this is similair IMO,,,
 

Mrdarcy you never want to talk about much at all, ever. Best keep that blanky tucked up tight!


Also, to save time we really must deal wth this empirically. Please re-focus on the number 4! Then we can really begin to enjoy ourselves! 



 

Shtal, have you ever though that maybe, just maybe, if people sated their "lusts" a bit more, without involving those who wish not to participate, this world would be a nicer place to live?  Why does other peoples' lust so consume you?  You do realize that lusts are mainly based on our needs, don't you?  They kick into overdrive and turn to lust when they are suppressed, or taught as being evil demons, lest you parttake too much.  Suppression leads to frustration and foggy thinking.  It leads to being led by the wrong people, at the wrong time.  It leads you to deny yourself and so your own opinions and your own proofs.  It leads to being molded into the shape that others want you to be, instead of molding yourself, based on your happiness, your desire to live in a nice world, your desire to make those around you happy.  In other words, those lusts.  We don't have to live tortured lives Shtal, we can sate those lusts and not think them evil.  We can openly enjoy life and all the joys that come along with it.  When we make mistakes, we pay for them and we go on.  If it was too much of a good thing that got us to where we are, we either stay on a self-destructive path or we change our ways.  It's really pretty simple.  If it's not good for you, it will show in your life and at that point, you can choose to change or remain with your self-imposed "demons".  The rub is, they're always self-imposed.  We can grow up and be adults, able to conduct ourselves in a peaceful society, without a parent keeping us in line.  I thought that's what adulthood entailed, but correct me if I'm wrong, please!

What you have been proposing to do is to make life as miserable as possible, as unbearable as possible, for anyone who doesn't agree with you, Shtal, for anyone who offends you, just by the mere fact that they exist.  You deride, you inflame, you twist words and poke fun.  But when the behavior is reciprocated in kind, you're being persecuted for your beliefs.  The day you learn to stop persecuting others, will be the day your persecution ends, Shtal.  We are not all alike, nor will we ever be, nor should we ever have to be.  The only way to peace is to leave others to their own conscience just as you wish to be left to yours.  Stop trying to take that right away from others and nobody will complain about yours.  

When you live your life as you see fit and allow others the same courtesy, it would be refreshing.  That will be the day that peace comes to the world, the day that the religions learn their place in society, in the heart of the individual, not in the bars of a prison or the darkest depths of the mind.

When needs are suppressed, ugly things happen.  And worse yet, if you convince people that their basic needs are lusts that must be suppressed, it's easy to convince them that they are innately evil.  That's the worst twist of the soul by religion, and yours in particular.  I don't feel guilty for being human Shtal, I don't feel dirty, I don't feel evil,, I don't feel "bad".  I celebrate it :)  And I don't consider myself evil if sating my lusts is causing no harm to another.  It is frankly, none of your business how I handle my lusts, until I violate the rights of another.  Ironically, I'm sure your vision of me is a 180 from what I actually am, but that's okay too, you're entitled to your opinion :)

You just keep convincing yourself that every want and desire that you have now, or have ever had, was born in darkness and evil, that you are no more than a worm without some higher morality to guide you to do right by others.  You are basically saying that you would break down into the vilest trenches of your soul and unleash havoc and destruction, not caring about any other living creature, unless somebody told you that it wasn't right, that the command came from something beyond your grasp and understanding.  How about just trying to be human, for a change?  It might surprise you!

And Red Sable, I have just one thing to say to you on this subject.  Stop trying to make everybody else a party to your Armageddon.  If that's where we're headed and you were right all along, stop trying to chang the prophecies, let them come, let us "sinners" pay our duty to your God then.  You can say "I told you so!" in Heaven, while we're writhing below for eternity.  Would that be enough atonement for us, though we have harmed none?  Think about it.
