    This is actually quite interesting. Yet long. But it's definately worth taking the time reading. My advice to you is to keep an open mind. And remember that weather it's true or not is irrelevant. It's the point it's trying to get across. Post here with your thoughts after reading it.

    very interesting and quite a lot of it I think is believable like if we are to move forward, we need to take risks. "You simply can't have the benefits without taking the risks". That whole article makes a lot of sense, I guess I could question some of it but I have an open mind to accept on some ways.

    I'm glad you guys have read it. And i completley agree with everything said in that article. The human race needs to grow the hell up if we expect ourselves to live longer than 1000 years. =/. It's all true. It's like a mind orgasm just reading it. And after you have read it. Things seem to make more sense. It just feels right to...can't explain it really.

    aye i was thinking about that ealier

    but u gotta think about certain things like for a start he says it may not be 100% bang on but u get what hes saying
    i have had dreams and such where i can remember every single detail, all the conversations and every single detail, its all down to your memory i guess, the brain is a powerful thing

    he seems like a pretty smart guy for sure, so id definately put that in favour of a good memory

    also you dont speak to god everyday so its kinda something that would stick with you, most of the time we remember what we want to

    im hapy to belive it happened and that the write up was close enough to the real thing to be accurate enough to take away with me

    Goes without saying we have a good writer there ;) He tells us everything we wanted to hear.

    I'm not believing it any more than I'm religious (who would!), but I did find the article extremely entertaining, and also inspiring!



    ... somehow I find myself in peace of mind at the moment. Thanks for bringing this to us.

    Extremley inspiring i think. It makes you think. (If you have already pulled your dick out of the bible) that IF there is a god. He'd be like that. A god not wanting people to worship him. etc etc. People need to get over the phase of religion. It'll destroy us imo. Look at all the unnecessary death in the world. I mean the wars on religion.

    Anyhow. It's been my pleasure to share this article with you guys. No need to thank me.

    I remember doing this excercise before I was confirmed into the church where we dicussed god and if he was real. I remember a question somewhere saying something that does he want us to worship him or is he just a maker of all things and we are just mistaking him as religious. I think this article just helps people understand life better or look at it from another light which I feel actually puts life into perplextive. Oo

    Sigh... Assuming he's telling the truth and the bible isn't. Yes, it's good, but it's man-written, just like any other piece of text we have.

    P.S. Please don't consider me against this article, on the contrary I like it very much. Just trying to remind you of what was already skillfully reserved in the article: it's on the net where anyone can post their visions.

    Hate to spoil the fun.. But its a work of fiction, a philosophy. And yes, its a rather good one :)

    Written very well, and it doesn't even require one to believe. Just needs to make people think, and in that, I think this is an excelent text.

    Exactly what I left out, knowing you'll want to fill it in.:wiggle:

    To be honest it didn't get me thinking at all. It's just more made up stuff, there's so many possibilities and theories that have been mentioned before. Might as well make up your own and be content with it.

    Good. Do it. I, too, have always preferred my own words over quotes by other people when possible. Explaining the universe isn't one of my interests though thus I'll skip on making up a nice bedtime story for you on that one.

    Yes you're right. RZ is heaven and MentaL is god = Good theory. :D.

    But yeah. There are thousands of possible and likely answers as to how the universe was created BUT...it still doesn't explain why. Why was it created? What's the purpose? Can anyone here try to comprehend just as to where the universe came from? Where litereally everything came from? Like "God" says in the article.

    Oh wow, I bow down to your superiority. Not. You're old enough to know how immature that was, right?

    Not to be rude, but I don't really plan to read someone else's work. I understand that's biased as I'm Christan and I believe everything that happened in the past. It's all really ineffable tbh :(. I understand I can agree on peoples' perspectives on lives but there's just some stuff that's just shit you really don't want to get involved with it. I'll proably read it later though.

    I choose not to [read it] however, not because I'm afraid, but it's not true imo.

    No offence, but claiming you're a devout Christian - that would mean you believe all the teachings, right? The Bible claims the Earth to be a shade over 4,000 years old, but through evolution and radiometric dating, there's conclusive proof that it's thousands of millions of years old. What are your thoughts on that? And does it shake your faith in other aspects of the Bible, seeing as one of the many 'truths' written it is already false?

    Once again, no offence intended - I'd just like to know what you think about that.
