The Truth
|
I have spent the last four and a half months blathering the messages of my version of the truth.
It took me a while to realize that I wasn't dealing with real people here, but their alter egos and their poetic passions. I really grew to respect and admire many of you while I was here.
I tried my best to not mind-thump those of a juevenile nature, although because of the nature of my purpose, many altercations weren't avoided, but they could have been if only I were more patient.
I really will miss blather. And I hope the best for each of you. I have left instructions on how to achieve all of your dreams, and how to live a noble life of peace and prosperity. Read them if you want to, ignore them if you want to... they are here, and always will be.
I was the one who posted The_Words, big surprise. Perhaps that is my destiny, to deliver them along with the message_to_the_future. (hehehe).
Anyways... I didn't mean to offend anyone, if you were offended, that really is your problem when you get down to it. I have never tried to hurt or harm, only to give and teach. There shouldn't be a resistance to that, but we are in the Earthly realm of good and evil, so what did I expect?
I'd list everyone who I like, but I like everyone. Even those of you who really pissed me off with your ignorance, I like you.
In fact...
You are all my favorites. I love you all.
Well, I'm off to become a successful __________ [it's a secret] investor...
You'll hear of me again, but not on blather...
Perhaps when the revolution is over.
Love the Light.

There he goes.
We need a new Blather_preacher now.
It would not be right for this place to be without one. Blather is like a democracy of sorts, a mixture of all social standings, and we need a christian here to keep balance.
Farewell Truth.
May god stand between you and harm, in all the empty places where you must walk.

Toldja...we need his kind. We need em all. The more ingredients, the more complex the stew. Not too much of this, not too much of that...mmmm blather_stew.
I'll miss you Truth. You were always thought of fondly while I parried with you. I won't say you were a worthy adversary, so much as I'll say you were a worthy collaborator in what we created here, all of us. I look forward to seeing you again,(perhaps this is a ruse to start over fresh here. Your continued presence here is welcomed by me. You always give me SOMETHING fun to react to, and that's what I enjoy doing) I trust that we WILL see you again. I hear blather has that effect on people.
Good luck, man.

You had the choice to ignore them or take them with a grain of salt or whatever.

unhinged, what was so bad about him?
He wanted to save us, sure.
But he wasn't some narrow-minded doorknocker and he wasn't preaching fire and brimstone. Just trying to spread his version of the light, because he'd found something good and wanted to share it. Just like a whole bunch of us here, except in little ways.

I really see it this way:
I ask that noone confuse what I write with who I am. They are two separate things. I chose to extend to Truth the same consideration as far as not judging him by his works. I think I succeeded both internally and externally in doing that. None of what I wrote was meant to be anything but impact. I also appreciate unhinged's entitlement to her opinon...let's not forget what a levelheaded opinion tit is too.

Well since Truth seems to have left.. I'll propose a new blather preacher which seems to be quite fit in my opinion. Kx21. He/She seems like on of those.. blather preachers, don't you agree? kx21 for blather preacher material, who's a taker?

No, Kx is many things (many many things), but s/he is not preacher material. Kx does his/her own thing and is best suited to present role.
I think maybe Seeds_of_Light is the next best. Seeds is a very spiritual individual, but not in a christian sense, or any particular way that I can name. But, Seeds has that strange notion that most religions were first formed around; "We should be good to each other".
So I nominate Seeds of Light as the next blather_preacher.

I think its a shame he let himself be pigeonholed as the christian one. I loved what he did on the few occasions where he let his creativity flow. His theology was just reductive and smug.

Here here DannyH. That's what bugged me was the smugness. However- I do wish him well. He seems like a happy, confident person who would help someone (anyone) who needed help, and that, in my opinion, makes him an asset to the universe. My grandmother always says "you don't like people because of, you like them in spite of."

bye bye, truthy. You really pulled at my boap strings.
I find it interesting that people feel the need to "preach" when they have found what they see as enlightenment or answers, but I suppose the drive to spread that knowledge imakes sense. It also makes sense that others get defensive around preachy types; most people receive preaching as criticism. And for anyone with a slightly rational brain the whole god / creation / jebus thing is pretty hard to swallow.
What is it about faith that so frustrates the unbeliever?
Sharing something good is a brave thing, in a way, because it exposes that thing to be potentially challenged/tainted/ruined by others.
I don't tell people about blather, and I wouldn't want to share my girly, either.
Id like to cast a vote for paste! as blather preacher. Now there's enlightenment, a truly gifted visionary.
Is it possible to get a blatherpreacher that's less sappy? All the love/light/hope/goodness stuff starts to grate on me after a bit. I only have to travel about 200 ft to be reminded that incessant optimism is great in theory, but in reality is the world is absolutely clogged with greedy, narrow minded assholes. A person my be okay, but people no better than semi-articulate munkees in a violent, full blown shit fight. Greed, hate, and poor behavior in general are so readily found these days its hard to ignore. I have no time to play about with dreams that someday we'll all get along. No, actually, we won't. Human nature is to take, steal, and fuck over anyone who gives opportunity, and all the pot-smoking, bible-thumping, light-loving optimism on gods green earth will never change that. the preachy stuff is a really nice concept, and might make some isolated pockets of munkees act civil and feel better about things, but its a grain of sand stacked against the narcissistic, greedy, hateful, racist, uneducated, self-serving, vicious-animal shit mess of humanity, Were basically a rampant virus on this planet, and deserve whatever we get. Plus, hope and love just doesn't quite take the edge off of things as well as a nice shot of bourbon does, or maybe beating the fuck out of someone with a shovel.
how's that for preachin?

i'm sick of this conversation so i really have nothing else to say. i've been in a constant state of conflict for weeks having more to do with myself than anyone else and i'm sick of it. so he's entitled to say what he wants to say but i think it's only one small part of the big truth. his truth wasn't the only one and that's sure how he perceived it as far as i could see. constantly posting shit about his beliefs and fighting and debating and getting pissed off with anyone who didn't respond in a positive manner. i am not going to say anymore about this. there will always be instigators here and i for one have retired my position as such for the moment.

Heheh oh unhinged, mighty do0d that you are. The same things that irked you about the Truth were inspiration for me. Heheh he was an endless source of "side of the neck" talk and a fountain of "come-on! sense" facts. With so much sarcasm and so few opportunities these days to use it, I welcomed his bullypulpit tirades and middle-of-the-month sermons. They gave me something to do and amused me.
Well The Truth is gone...guess that makes you my favorite blatherer again do0d....(JUST KIDDING...sheesh you ARE done with this subject huh?)

Hey Db....my son David is afraid of clowns too. (Another bizarre Tauran connection? (Naww prolly coincidence...stay tuned though..I'll be asking that question. "Taurus you say? Do clowns fighten you or make you uncomfortable?" We'll see what happens. I'm not expecting much, but I've been surprised once already by this stuff...you just never know.

I'm tarus till it hurts, and I'm not afraid of clowns. I think they're creep, social misfits, and I would sooner break one over my knee than have them pawing my (non-existant) kids.
I wasn't trying to say that there is no room for hope in the world. Hope is great, and if it makes you happy take as may tokes on the jebus-pipe as you want. I was just saying that it pretty pointless to think tht peace,love,light, or religion is going to "change the world. Change your life, maybe. otherwise, forget it, you're wasting your time and mine.
hey truth - since I know you'll be back to read this, and see how people reacted to your leaving, I just wanted to say you're welcome back any time, and nobody would think the less of you.
now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a tea party to attend.
