I do believe in God as well...I am sorry you got hurt or angered...I have been both as well...but God is not to blame...


Anyone who is hurt or angered by God eventually goes back to the fold... for it is impossible to have feelings for/about someone or something that you don't believe is there.

imF No one is EVER hurt by god. Only by their own perception that god is to blame...

God loves us. All of us. Upon the earth and in the heavens.

Perceptions of the spritual realms are sometimes tainted by those same rituals...

shed them for but the time of a prayer... and walk with all that is for a moment.

then decide

My friend, my fellow Adama,
let us regain the stolen Paradise,
and reclaim earth’s garden,
we have tasted the fruit
of knowledge, we are as gods.
Look beyond the veil of maya,
draw back the flimsy curtain,
expose the lizard wizard.

God is not love, man is love.
God is a lie, a magician’s trick,
a device for divide and conquer,
the hidden sleight-of-hand
of the vampire brood.
We are amnesiacs, stacked
naked and pell-mell in
the slave ship of State.


Wow, the enemy really lied to you.

The church is within you - Jesus bigsmile

What it seems like you are confused about what is religion and what isn't. You think religion is what you see in the TV or hear in the news. You think, religion means you gotta dress up in a specific way and perform specific ceremonies in a specific place and you gotta read a specific book.

My best suggestion is to educate yourself more. :wink:


There is shame in nakedness. If you think about it, if we all walked around naked, we'd be so preoccupied with sex that we would break the very laws and morals that we stand to preserve. It would literally be Sodom and Gomorrah and Ancient Rome all over again. And at the present time we are not far from it.
waving Shame? Surely there is more to it than such a base emotion, an emotion that straight away points to the fact that we are feeling guilty for something....spock
Hey, isn't Rome the seat of some kind of holy power?waving


To address your first question you should read this article. http://doesthebiblecondonenudism.blogspot.com/2007/11/does-bible-condone-nudism.html

As for the second part yes Rome is the seat of the catholic church one of the major christian denominations. He was referring to the Rome of the past. Because of Rome is why Easter bunny is around at Easter. Here is a short paraphrased version of what happened. During Easter Romans would celebrate the Goddess of fertility. What better way to celebrate the Goddess of fertility the a weekend orgy of all your closest friends. So you would spend a couple weeks having sex with whomever and whenever you wanted. Well during this time you have Christians who are told to abstain from sex. So how do they blend in a community that is very intolerant( i.e death for not conforming)? Have your own party in your home during the same time but celebrate the death of Christ. As time went on celebration of different saints was added to coincide with Roman Gods in order to protect the Christians during this time.

So to wrap up plan an authentic Easter next year. Anyone game? jk
I guess I was looking for a different explanation then a snake....ohwell

...like where exactly does the shame come from?

Is it merely a biochemical reaction from the release of a hormone?

Or is it really coming from US...is it really our soul, spirit, what have you, that is radiating emotions.

If the latter is true, what other reason is there for us to feel "guilty" about nakedness?

to be honest there are
3 good reasons that i went form pentecostal to agnostic.
1 i refuse to accept teh one world voice/one world choice of teh end times
2 i will never respect anyone who thinks george w bush was a decent president and tells me he did gods work.
3 churchs feed you there own man made dogma of endless crap and doctrine, in other words their way of tricking you outta every dime you get for some quick to dispose of ministy purpose.

God didn't do any of that, man did all of that against God.
Not all people or churches are like that.
Do you have proof of this church doing such thing or is this all just propaganda.

There is a difference between people and organizations that claim to be and those that truly are.

humans are taught to feel shame about nakedness. Look at young children. They have no problem being naked. In fact, they rather prefer it, I'd say. It is only after they are taught that being naked around others is not proper do they start wearing clothes by choice. And they best way to teach them that is via shame. Consider it the first mental scar bestowed by parents to child.

Why thank you.:smile:

Also, there are many primitive tribes of humans still in existance that have no problem w/ nudity, lending credence to my theory that non-acceptance of nudity is a learned behavior.

I am the Lord your God
You shall have no other gods before me
You shall not make for yourself an idol
You shall not make wrongful use of the name of your God
Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy
Honor your father and mother
You shall not murder*
You shall not commit adultery
You shall not steal***
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor
You shall not covet your neighbor's wife
You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor

Other then this it says : Do not dwell in the HOUSE OF THE LORD!, for you will not find me there! I am a peasant in the streets washing your feet, i will take bread with you and help the sick, the week and needy, i will heal the blind if you have faith in me!

it is man: for some! points of view that has taken this way out of content. It is words to help us live side by side in a world filled of millions and millions of humans who have there own minds, it is wild animals who do not make are choices for us, it is us and only us that chose to be the people we chose to be. But it is faith when you are ill, or when a loved one needs hope, it is faith when death creeps bye!

Believe or not believe is not even the choice it is the Will one mankind has that gives us joy, laughter and contentment in are lives..

if we lived with, Hate then everyone would be dead that is why the earth was flooded the first time for 40days and nights we hated each other so much we were destroying one another with greed, sex and drink, with abuse and vindictiveness, we were selfish.. but hen God came to say.. Hay.... I made a mistake.. lets do thiS again.. and in the end... WE STILL AS A HUMAN RACES CHOSE DISGRACE!

only a 1/3rd of the world wants peace... United States v The world!

The Greatest thing of all is YOU don't Have to BELIEVE, FOR WE PRAY FOR EVERYONE... in the world.... so even if you do not believe or you chose to not care about faith.... We keep you in our prayers to save your soul. that is what Jesus was all about.... NO matter what you do.... YOU... are thought of today!

I've studied many of the world's religions recently, from Ancient Egypt, Christianity, Kabbalah, (Need to study that one a bit longer as 40 years of study just scratches the surface.) Islam, Hindu, Shinto, I Ching, Taoism, Ancient Greek and Roman pantheons, and multiple translations of the Bible, and many other sacred texts. As far as this topic, everyone and everything that is, is proof of God. You just need to step back, and take in the whole picture in order to hope to comprehend something as vast, far away, and close as God. You are right to believe in yourself though, as each human has within them the spark of divinity. Indeed we not only have a link to God within each of us, but we also through him, have a link to everything.
