    Well to be fair Christians perfected the art of trolling.. I believe they were called missionaries :p

    And yes that was a disgusting effort of hypocrisy on Rcanfiel's part.. I guess his beliefs are not quite strong enough to embrace in real life

    Believed? They STILL believe this. Present tense, not past tense.

    Ignorance is a self-imposed state of mind in order to have experiences.
    It was necessary in order to make this world...which is a state of mind.
    Before ignorance was perfect knowledge which does not involve experience.
    Ignorance must be defended in order to keep the fun and games going.

    Face it. The new testament is about censorship and spin. It's hard to get a word in edgewise there. Count yer blessings. If you still want your Jesus in short sound bytes you can keep a bible right next to Fox News. Scribes and numbacrunchers all!

    I taught the whole truth. Others before me taught parts of the truth. Others after me taught parts of the truth. I agree with some ideas from Krishna, Lao-tzu, Buddha, Plato, Paul, Valentinius, Plotinus...but not all of them. Once you understand what I'm saying in it's entirety, you will see that it is an original thought system that will lead you much more quickly to God and is not really the same as any of the others.

    If you think that man is made in the image of God, the path will be broad, long, depressing and slowgoing. Worse still, it may be boring. The New Testament reduces the whole truth to sound bytes. It's the whole truth that saves your mind, not any kind of compromise.
