That was rather random

What is it? Flash won't work on my computer.

No, the download box never comes up.
We should post these messages as wispers from now on to make the debate/ topic more fluid.

I'm sure it was. (looks for left-in-the-dark smiley...)

(...still cant find it...)

Wow, I'm still downloading, but I read through the transcript they have on the site. It's crazy, was almost like reading my own thoughts. All of it just kind of rings in my head. Must...buy...book...*foam*.

I don't see how it stops at ten dimensions... wouldn't this chain just continue on, creating its own infinity and then becoming one of others in a never ending string?

God sacrificed his son Jesus for our sins. Or so the Bible tells us. This would imply that god is bound by some law or another. If he was all powerful he could have just forgiven us instead of sacrificing Jesus. Another theory I like is that God gave up on us but Jesus chose to come live like us and experience what it was like to be human, from our perspective. And then possibly took over responsibility of us. It would explain the drastic change in God from the old to the new testament. God was getting crappy results from his aggressive approach, was going to trash the whole idea, but Jesus asked to come experience humanity and in doing so he saw that flash of hope and chose to take over instead with a totally different approach.

In his time, there were many small sects of jewdisim, christianity being one of them. Because of emperor constantine and his vision of a firey cross in the sky before one of his victories, christanity became the official roman religion. Once rome fell, and the dark ages enveloped europe, christanity became one of the only surviving aspects of the roman empire until the renascence in europe. I've noticed that throughout the world, one main large religion developes in every region. Islam developed where it did because it was the home town of Muhamed. Jewdism deveoped because it was there first. Christianity developed because of the fear of the dark ages. I don't know much about far east and native american religions.

All of them origninated in that region. They just spread in different directions. What I find to be an absolutly astounding coincidence is that Muhamed decided to acsend to heaven right on the jewish temple mount.

I don't know much about them.
All I know is that they are located in Asia and that they have nothing at all to do with middle eastern and european religion.

Why the navel? Is it because that's were the ambilical cord detatches?

chi involves balancing, my completely uninformed guess would be that the navel is roughly in the center of the body. isn't chi generally involved in taoism, or is that something different. I'm pretty sure that buddhism doesn't involve chi, but I'll defer to you there.

oh an dleague, when it comes to religion, few things are coincedences. I wonder what kind of political message that sent to Jews and Moslems.

meanwhile im gonna look up taoism, buddhism and hindusim on wikipedia.

I'm also pretty sure that acupuncture has somthing to do with where chi flows from the body.

Actually you are correct, the belief that Chi is focused in the navel is because of balance, and Chi is alot to do with balance, however I never meant to imply that Budhism involves Chi, my knowledge of Budhism is very limited.

I believe in Cantonese Taoism just means a way or characteristics, so the tasoism of Chi would be a way of releasing Chi etc.

So i'd like to take a moment and reflect on exactly how alike all world religions are. It's quite amusing yet not difficult to imagine why as humans in large groups tend to come up with similar explanations for the same questions

1) obviously the Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, are very close to due shared cultural borders.
2) Then Buddhism and Hinduism are also very close to each other for the same reason, though Buddhism has a much more defined doctrine than Hinduism.
3) Then the Jewish had this ever present belief that God is everywhere, which is like chi or any other metaphysical energy,.

Isn't Chi focused behind the naval? In the actual center? Seem to remember that, though its xmas morning so I'm not going to look it up right now :0).

meh i jus think that if you cant see something then it doesnt exist, and since nobody on earth has ever seen god (apart from psychos and very religious (mentally disturbed) people) i dont think he exists really

yes but there are other humans in the world that have seen me and can varify my existance.. are there any for god??

He edited it.

yes but is there anybody in the world who has seen god?? is there any proof of his existance at all?? a lot of lifes questions have scientific answers which prove against religions eg. evolution so holy scriptures can not be used as proof really

im acutally supposed to be religious believe it or not.. but i dont believe in god as a whole.. i just believe in the ideology of sikhism.. rather than the belief in god..

That's because it's the fifth largest religion in the world and it's centered on the other side of the world in India.
