Now just a minute! Once, after some incredibly super duper sex, I saw Jesus. Really, I did. More than once. Several times in quick succession, actually.

Anything is possible. Let's try and keep an open mind, folks.

I've never actually seen Jesus after super duper sex, but I sure have called out his name and several others during this super duper sex

It is obvious that few of you practice such ideals. Then, there are those here that practice such ideals with the lips, but have no courage.

Oh you want to discuss Buddhism do you?

Okay. What do you want to talk about?

Well, I'm not a Christian. And it seems like many people on here are familiar with the OP, but I'm not. So I might be missing something huge.

And...big caveat - this thread has me confused. But here goes anyway...

Other than some arrogance in his choice of words, I'm not finding his concepts to really be all that out there. I would say that many people see themselves as one with God (the term I will use). I was told myself once that my actions were more like Jesus than anyone that person knew - and yet, I, too, am on the kink boards. I don't think embracing one's divinity should be limited only to those who reject their deviance. In fact...and I am not educated in this area....but I'm under the general conception that spiritual leaders will often rise from those who have been turned out from the norms of society - deviants, if you will.

Haven't you ever had a spiritual moment? A time when you saw or felt God? I certainly have. Honestly, I've been awed at the power of whatever is more powerful than me. And his quotes are valuable - if he truly believes that he has been touched by God, or whatever it is he's saying, then great - let him shout it from the rooftops. As long as it's no harm to others, more power to him. How do we really know it's not true? It might be. And if it is true, and we're here poking fun of him? We just might be fucked. You never know.

I feel he has made himself unapproachable with the holier-than-thou attitude, yes. Perhaps that it is his goal. Perhaps that is the only way he knows to express the enormity of his feelings. Perhaps he's just having fun with us and I'm a schmuck, I know it. I can't help but hold out, though, that there really is a little bit of divinity in everyone and some are simply more apt to embrace the challenge of their charge than others.

Though Buddhism is not Christianity, a Christian could regard it as adhering to a lesser standard. It was in the Amish or Former Amish thread that is no longer available where I wrote

quote:

This begs a question, Can a person live life according to a lesser standard and be saved? I believe that a person can live life according to a lesser standard and be saved which may seem paradoxical, but Christ was paradoxical and so was his message. We cannot all be artists of the highest stature, but we can appreciate art and the works of those greater than us.

The problem is how many of you are managing to live up to even this lesser standard? I managed to live up to the higher Christian standard in a dramatic way though it was not my intention to do so. It was a matter of love. I called upon Christ in desperation to take pity on my beloved. Christ knew my heart. It was not my intention to be an evangelical. I called upon Christ as a means to an end. I sought his intercession. I did not call upon Christ to save me. I called upon Him to save someone who I loved dearly. I was granted a miracle.

Some of you no doubt feel that this is a ridiculous place to speak of such things, but there is a prayer which is spoken as part of the rosary, "O my Jesus forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, especially those who most have need of Thy mercy. Amen." What better place to offer my thanksgiving to God.

Aha it all makes sense now. The guy's male, dominant, American, talks a lot about Jesus, Christianity, being hurt, being abused, being lonely, has this holier than thou attitude, seems distressed, writes a lot of twaddle, seems unable to connect to anyone, or write anything meaningful or coherent.

I'm now thinking 'Tea Party'. The OP is a Teabagger.

Well I've been known to yell Oh g.... F*** me but I am fairly sure the dominant involved thought I was calling him a God.

Just when I thought I'd heard everything.

I am not a Christian at all, I reject it on personal views, for personal reasons. I'll share if asked but I will say that mine is an informed rejection. You seem to have no conception of what Christianity is or what it means.

If you are truly superior, it is your duty to share, or lead. Show me.

Re purple text:

Ahah!

At last, on page, what? nine? we get to the Divine Accomplishment (or at least one of them). You prayed for someone...and they got better.

Wow.

That makes you touched (fingered?) by God?

Like no one's ever prayed for a loved one to recover from injury or illness before?

Like people's bodies don't often heal themselves?

And what part did medical science have in the recovery?
Theists often forget about the doctors, caregivers, researchers, etc who are actually responsible when it comes time to distribute credit & thanks. "I had a headache. I took an aspirin and prayed. My headache went away. Praise Jesus!" But rarely does it lead, as in this case to "I practically AM Jesus".

= = =

Re red text

"I prayed as a means to an end". So, just as with all (or most) intercessionary prayer, it was "I want you to do this for me". Selfless? This was your "beloved". So your prayer, if successful, would save the person...and keep that person in your life. Which, presumably, is better with that person than without them. So: still self-interested.

Any other Divine Accomplishments?

News flash for the rest of you: "He's not the Messiah. He's a very naughty boy." (that's a quote from the mother of Brian, the Actual Other Messiah)

This used to be car-crash fascinating. But now it seems we're getting to the tow trucks & ambulances gone, nothing but skidmarks & broken glass left to see stage.

= = =
<=== Goes back to poring over the blueprints for my expansive underground Napoleonic Complex.

= = =
edited to add:

Ooh, ooh...and of course, now that your prayer saved your beloved, you get to, ahem, "lord" it over her forever. "Don't forget, I saved your life. How great am I?" Cuz if you blow your horn so loud here, I can just imagine what you're like to the people around you (until, sniff, they leave & hurt you).

Yeah, selfless.

'k. Maybe there's still some fun left in poking the troll.

And faith is required because you make extraordinary claims with no evidence?

I am not claiming that the central tenets of Christianity are logical. Logic has bounds and meters, however. There are things that cannot be understood logically. The central tenets of Christianity are, however, desirable. Who wants to be all dressed up and have no place to go? There is evidence. The evidence merely eludes you. It is obvious to me that He is worthy of my admiration. He is my hero. Perhaps you could say that I'm well intentioned, but naive.

It is beyond imagination that a prophecy such as this could ever come to pass. What I do know is that the generosity of God is beyond reckoning and there is much work ahead of me.

People, the topic of this thread is how to preserve you for that special someone. Preserve does not mean, gee people. What I wrote is not that opaque!

BOUNTYHUNTER seemed to grasp what I was talking about even though everything he wrote was in caps. See post 35. In response to bounty hunter: I agree with you fully. You have to move on, but it does not mean that you will ever truly be free and do you want to be truly free? Love is meaningful. It is unjust not to be all that you can be for that special someone who is in your future; even if that special someone is God.

In post 113 I wrote "If you don't like Christians, I personally wouldn't condemn you for it." So I'm not saying that you must love Christians in order to honor the truth. I have spoken concerning the nature of faith and how faith is paradoxically not blind faith. According to the Word of God in order for your journey to begin all that is needed is a mustard seed of doubt.

The ancient Greeks had mystery teachings. I spoke of this briefly in the Value of Poetry thread. The mystery teachings came in two varieties. Those things that were hidden, but if someone were to explain them to you, the secrets would be revealed to you. For example, you might go to school to obtain a degree. The mystery teachings also come in another variety. With this second variety the truth can be hidden in plain view because no matter how much you try to explain it, there is no guarantee that the person at the other end of the conversation is going to grasp what you are saying or even have the capacity to acknowledge the existence of the things you speak of. The acquisition of such knowledge requires a journey of the soul. It's like going to school, obtaining your degree and having had good grades you are still a moron despite all your degrees and accomplishments.

I suppose it is Truth, Justice, and the American Way of Life. I meant that tongue-in-cheek, however.

The simple and direct answer is quite literally enlightenment. So, I suppose that makes me a Buddha.

quote:

"Buddha" meaning "awakened one" or "the enlightened one."

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gautama_Buddha

Hence, the reference to Allegory of the Cave earlier. According to the Allegory of the Cave upon achieving enlightenment it is your moral obligation to return to enlighten others.

Now I am a Buddha!
