created_in_god's_image The Truth There are many things that seperate, elevate Humans from animals. I don't think we are as closely related as some may think. (I think humans are a hybrid species of biological, conscious and spiritual beings.) So, I've decided to make a shortened list of things that elevate us from an evolutionary standpoint of that which creepeth. -------------------------- Love. Our creative process. Our recorded history. Painting, sculpting singing (save birds and whales) music (comprehension of variances between rythm and melody) dancing. The missionary position Fire. Opposable thumbs - ehh no biggie a sense of purpose a question of origin a quest for imortality a search for knowledge the ability to count mathematics invention problem solving speech, language psychic ability (well, there's cats and dogs) technology writing construction prayer agriculture (we don't look for food, we build it) chemistry religion (although I think all animals just know the truth, we are the one's who have the choice of whether or not to struggle with it.) Police, Politics, Polar Conquests Biodomes Industry - Commerce Institutional learing facilities Free will genetic cloning time travel space walking supersonic jets lasers microwaves "iron horses" trains marketing currency trade which eventually must lead to: non-fat frozen yogurt nuclear weapons manufactured hormones LSD tequila Internet/TV marinara sauce and twinkies. we've been to the moon! Are we aliens? Or are we just growing up to be like our Father in Heaven? 010726 ... The Truth I forgot ( a lot of things ) but one important one is this: -------------------------------- A wide array of emotions. --------------------------------- 010726 ... kingsuperspecial do like, believe in god, or something? 010726 ... god in milwaukee just believe in me, yoko and me.... that's reality 010726 ... satan satan satan even I am the work of god. He and i, well, we've worked out most of our differences, but lemme see your explanation. [aside, to god] By the way, dad, you up for the game on the TPC Scottsdale course? 010726 ... The Truth God_vs_Satan God always wins Love_always_wins (and I know about your dual identity up there guys, who'd you think you were fooling?) Can you think of anything else that elevates us from the animals? 010726 ... satan satan satan i am not him and he is not me, (and thus as such neither of us is the eggman or the walrus) [well, okay, maybe dad's the walrus after all, when he feels like it] i proceed from him as do all things plus i've never been to milwaukee 010726 ... satan satan satan God always wins? so you're telling me that he's going to win the golf game too? damn! (and i mean that) more of that old time predestination? well then i guess that means he better bring along some extra beer 010726 ... chanaka but, if there is no god, whose image were we created in? 010726 ... Aimee If I was created in God's image...I honestly think that God had some sick sense of humour.. honestly... 010726 ... black-dyed gel product Hey Truthie, for the record, I've seen a monkey count and a dog wasted on tequila, so I'm not sure if those can really make the list. One thing that you didn't mention that truly separates us from animals (an ironically makes us more animalistic) is the fact that humans are the only creatures on earth that murder their own species for no particular reason. Even those fighting dogs don't kill each other, and when they do it's purely an accident. 010726 ... The Truth Yes, but you won't see that monkey calculating the pythagorean theorem, or that dog looking puzzingly at an Agave plant and say, "Hmmm, I wonder if that would get me all kcuffed up if I let it ferment and process it?" No, the dog would lick his balls, lick your face, lick whatever liquid substance was put in his dish, then lick his balls again. (and dog's are the 6th most intelligent specieces on the planet. (wolves are 5th)) 010726 ... The Truth And chanaka if there is no God, then we must not be here then, huh? Because the universe would not possibly be able to exist. And, Aimee, you share the same opinions as Depeche Mode. Cool! But they share the same misunderstandng. The same image is this: God is a being with free will, an emotional range from love to anger, comprised of 3 different levels of consciousness, and an imagination leading into a creative process. Humans are beings with free will, an emotional range identical to God's, comprised of a mind, body, and soul, and an imaginitive, creative process. 010726 ... satan satan satan you didn't answer me. 010727 ... Teenage Jesus you can't get a damn answer from The Truth. A sermon yes. Not a goddamn answer. (the funny thing about it's wordiness is it's fear of "bad" words. Notice the cute re-spellings e.g. kcfu, or cufedk up etc...like spelling fuck or fucked properly would tip the eternal scales and earn a one-way ticket to hell. Not even the most dogmatic believe that.) Now-more importantly; golf on Sunday. If it were predestined, I'd have whooped `ya last Sundee. SO- Be there! (BTW-those red clubs are REALLY sharp.) 010727 ... just another monkey I know something that separates us from the animals. car keys. 010727 ... The Truth The Truth is an answer. Is an answer the truth? Depends on the question. So some things I will not choose to answer, Only the right questions attract The Truth. 010730 ... god hitchhiking i don't get out to the links much anymore. 010730 ... satan satan satan i highly doubt that. TT you seem more than content to interject yourself wherever, whenever. you're not fooling anyone, least of all me. you just don't like having to contend with anything that you can't wrap up in one of your glib little sermons. just remember, all those times as a child you thought i was under your bed i was. 010730 ... The Truth Sigh...Just as the pesky gnat buzzes in my ear while I try to sleep, I can't ignore it anymore, and I must make the effort to shoo it away. ------------------------------------------- The Truth Dissolves Satan's Lie # 1: ------------------------------------------- Now, if you click on my name, you will see a long list of everything I've blathered about. It's all right there, and does not qualify as whereever, whenever. There is a theme...donchyaknow. The_truth is the same in love and God and interconnectedness and blather_honesty and time and color and light and Jesus and inifity and spirals and waves of blessed_words_of_light or the Toes (10 of them) Isn't it amazing what you can see when you actually open your eyes? ------------------------------------------ The Truth Cuts through these baked-on grease stains, otherwise known as satan. ------------------------------------------ I am not fooling anyone. I will not fool anyone. I do not try to fool anyone. I wish there was no such thing as deciept, so no one could be fooled ever. OK? "The fool will walk himself into his trap" -Anonymous -------------------------------------------- The Truth even eliminates stinky odors, and battles satan with april freshness! -------------------------------------------- I thrive off of intellectual conversations, especially those pertaining to philosophy. I LOVE them. I enjoy them more than beer and sex. Philosophy coupled with physics and astronomy automatically gravitates towards God. So Theology is the most enjoyable branch of philosophical engagement. I even discuss theology with the Jehova's witnesses that come to my door, or my friends doors while I am there. All of this God talk in the hopes of stimulating some good conversation, and if a few people learn the truth, see the light, make a positive change as a result, well I see that you, satan are the only one who loses in that situation. But I get the feeling you are used to losing. -------------------------------------------- The Truth discovers amazing new polymer!!! It seals minor cuts and scratches in satan's attempts to tarnish the shiny clear-coat pollish of spoken TRUTH!! -------------------------------------------- Take your silly little palaguristic ways with you when you leave this place, I've seen "The Prophecy" too. 010730 ... satan satan satan tsk, such unbecoming egotism 010730 ... Teenage Jesus FOUR!! *THWACK* "Good shot man!" "Ah; thank you my good man- you know, all my experience with The Bleeding Head of Arnold Palmer Head Launchers Society has payed off..." (notices Reg approaching) "Did you know there is no proper name for the back of the knees?" "Yes. Well, every cycle thinks it's is the last, and most true." "Yes-well; um...did you know that the elephant shrew never closes it's eyes?" (groan) 010730 ... satan satan satan sets the dial to Medium Well okay, point conceded, you pick your spots instead of fulminating indiscriminately. as the accuser, i stand firm on all other allegations. especially the glib sermonizing. oh, and by the way, it's spelled "p-o-l-i-s-h" the extra L is superfluous and to think that this could have been avoided if you would have just seen fit to answer my question in the first place instead of behaving as if you are too superior to dignify me with a response. 010730 ... The Truth It's not about superiority, it's about blather. Why would I comment on something golf related? I don't know!? Why would you even ask me? IT's insane! is this blathe called "insane people pretending to play golf"? NO! IT's called created in God's image... Look, I know that you are only trying to distract other readers from reading what I write. Which is juvenile, pointless, and makes you look really bad, yes...I agree, but Why do it? I am just writing...what is so special about what I write compared to anyone else? I just enjoy writing, I can write about whatever I choose. Why must you follow me around...Funny, I don't see you discussing irrellevant topics on anyone else's blather_murals. hmmmmm? Unless...you percieve me as a threat. If my words were a threat, then anyone could just read them and know they were nonsense. Nothing for you to worry about. No PG comments would be necessary to try to distract people. It is your attempts to deter and cover my writings that will only attract more attention to them. Why would you waste so much of your time doing something so useless as trying to deface art? 010730 ... satan satan satan i rest my case oh, and that next step, it's a doozy, little peacock. 010730 ...

Are we aliens? Or are we just growing up to be like our Father in Heaven? 010730 ... kx21 Some Hints:- Refer to the_theory_of_everything... 010730 ... The Truth The "same image" of God that we were made in is this: God is a being with free will, an emotional range from love to anger, comprised of 3 different levels of consciousness, and an imagination leading into a creative process. Humans are beings with free will, an emotional range identical to God's, comprised of a mind, body, and soul, and an imaginitive, creative process. 010730 ... god sure you guys are created in my image. dumb all over with a little ugly on the side. 030326 ... silentbob Well, i don't think The Truth really talks to animals, so i don't know if he contemplates love. How do you know that love isn't just something that we call what we do when we reproduce? or share affection? Animals share affection too, mothers nurture their young, its in their blood to do so, just as it is in ours. its in their nature. Maybe the only reason we can do all that other shit is because of the fact that our brains are slighly bigger, so they can learn information. 030327 ... hey now! a wide array of emotions is the most important on that list?? now thats just bullshit. animals have complex emotions just as humans do. shit, i even had a dog who suffered from depression. anyway, were animals too (being that we are mammals and mammals are animals). the majority of us just happen to think that we are superior to the rest of the worlds animals, which are also gods creations if you believe in god. the only thing that separates us from "animals" is the fact that we, in general, are so fucking stuck up our own asses. 030327 what's it to you? who go blather from
