In between the bathroom tiles where the grouting has come away. I use a laser pointer and an electric egg whisk.

Greatest I am wrote:Or are you an idol worshiper?


Well, I do that too. I worship a piece of garden hose about one metre long that lies in the back yard and in which the spirit of Ra manifests itself regularly. Don't ask me how I know this.

Greatest I am wrote:There are so many Gods and Goddesses in forums today


All false. Proper Gods and Goddesses don't hang around in forums, fora, fori or even forui. They've got godding to do all over the fucking place. Stop and think before you post for Goddess's sake.

Greatest I am wrote:Which camp are you in?


I'm not camp. I'm a heterosexual male who just happens to like wearing flamboyant colours. I resent the insinuation, Dorothy.

And you have the gall to imply that I am camp? I have no wish to see yours.

Weaver wrote:I do not seek any gods, nor have I found any evidence that any exist. I worship nothing - not idols, not poorly crafted ideas (i.e. the Christian gods), not cats, not even a speck of dust.

I do, however, tire of the incessant, idiotic preaching of some theists.


So do I. Who wouldn't?

Animavore wrote:The thing is, you can't seek something unless you already know what you're looking for. If you found me in the woods looking for my watch I'm hardly going to be foraging for something I've never seen and don't know what it is.
That's why people who say to seek God and tell me I'll know it when I find it make no sense to me. How will I know I know? How will I know I'm not mistaken? Maybe I only think I know?
These people all nod at each other sagely when talking about God, as if all in on a little secret, being mystical and vague. How do they know they're talking about the same thing?

Seems to me on the left you have those seeking for they know not what, and on the right those who know not what they know.


All religions and political parties do is sell their respective God's laws.

Seeking God is seeking ideals in law.

Seeking God is trying to improve life.

Having a God or idol is to sit back and wait for him to do it. So much for, they will be known by their deeds.

God helps those who help themselves by seeking a better way than to idolize the status quo.

Found him the other day. Left ass pocket in my trousers. It's always the last place you look in. He smelled a bit like fart, but I'll chalk that up to the chili and beer I had the day before.

My girlfriend is a staunch atheist, but she loves calling me god on those special occasions. :naughty2:

Or maybe I am just an idol. #selfesteemshot :waah:

There are so many Gods and Goddesses in forums today that these places begin to look as in the days of Babel. Two camps do seem to be forming though. Those who seek on the left and and those who have found on the right.


Oh gnostics and your irrational, naive dualistic nonsense. :roll:

Which camp are you in?


Crystal Lake...be careful...

If you seek God, where are you looking?


42 Wallaby Way, Sydney

If you have found your God, please supply a name. Show me yours and I will show you mine.


P. Sherman.

I'll pass though on yours. It's probably a nobody.

P.S. Gnosis is knowledge that leads to wisdom. Wisdom is Sophia in our myths. She has faith in you finding her. Thank God Eve ate and Adam had the good sense to do as told and eat as well.


Gnosis is nothing but bullshit. Eve never existed. Your unsubstantiated preaching is boring. Good day.

I thank the Lord god Prokaryota, who gave me life, and continues to help me digest my daily bread. Not a demanding god. It does not dictate to me how to live or or any of that shit. The perfect god IMHO. :thumbup: :cheers:
