And it is this… is there life before death?Try this. Just take a fruit you really love. Melon. Chickoo. Whatever. Now close your eyes. And just smell it. For two minutes focus your entire being on smelling it. If you’ve done it with just a little bit of your being you’ll find it so sensual as to rival the orgasmic.

Yet, how many times have we ever really experienced that kind of richness? How many times have we tasted when we tasted, laughed when we laughed, smiled when we smiled, touched when we touched, lived when we lived? Once? Twice, in the last tenyears? The richness and depth of sensation that can make a humble chickoo outrival caviar, is ours. But all too often it passes us by. Lost as it seeks to penetrate the dull condom of our inattentive beings, scattered foci, and congealed latex of plans, plots, future moments.

To sum it up, I believe I'll start 'really' living, once I die. This life has nothing on what's to come. Therefore, in a sense, I'm already dead to this world compared to what is after this life. It's not rather or not I believe in life before death, it's rather or not It's possible.


I'm clickin' randomly around older posts by cause of boredom and found this one. Well said. I agree. Not only was it food for thought but also prompted me to scribble 'honeydew' on the grocery list. 8)

..and yes, you very well may be. "Suicidal" is such a strong term though. You could just say you're "eager". :wink:

What blows my mind is how many non-Christians automatically assume that Christians are...happy. Truth is, more Christians now are being murdered for their belief there ever was in history. Of course, there are more Christians now then there ever was which would, I guess, bring on more senseless killings. But aside from the facts. Just because someone believes 'in' or 'on' Jesus, doesn't mean that they are better off here on earth...Just better off after death. ;)

hmm, thats cool. ill just leave this as is cuz even trying to get into this would only end up in trouble... certain things like religion, politics, homosexuals, etc. just cannot be talked about without getting people riled up. so how about this?

whatever "orgs" your "gasm" (try and make that biblical, lol). :wink:

Well, you see...The forbidden fruit that Adam and Eve ate wasn't really a fruit at all. A fruit repersents orgasms or perhaps sex feelings and such... Anyway, the serpent (Which was very attractive) Suduced Eve to have sex with it. Something that Eve didn't know of yet because she was still considered Innocent. And we can't blame Eve for all this because Adam was watching the whole time. Then after he saw how the serpent did it and everything, he decided that he wanted a piece of the action, and in doing so, they both took from the fruit which was forbidden. The tree of knowledge. After doing this sex acts, they decided to cover up their sex body tools with clothes because they was afraid of being caught and they was naked. Then God, blah blah blah. Curse the woman and man and blah blah, made the serpent crawl on his belly. blah blah.

THEN, Eve was to have a child. The first child (The serpent's son) Cain. And then the second child (Adam's child) Abel. of course you know of Cain slaying Abel and all that good stuff. Cain (The bad seed, the seed of the devil) was banished and so on and so on. Now, all this is just a theory and a theory have I have came up for my own way of thinking. I'm sure if you tell this story to any church going person or preacher then they'd rebuke you on the spot! They would never believe that the fruit repersented sex. oh but I do... *nudge nudge wink wink*

This is, of course, taking for granted that Satan exists. And yes, I'm sure a man named Jesus has existed. I've met a few myself, though they pronounce the name "hey-soos".

As to more christains dying to non-christians, there is more christiantity, you're right, and that's probably the number one reason there are more dying. People die every day for absolutly no reason, no religios ties, for money or drugs or whatever.

But being murdered is still a fairly rare occurance in the "large scheme". Most christians can walk around being happy not having to worry about dying just because they're christians.

Just think of the middle ages, when christians activly hunted down and burned heritics. (non christians - Catholics in this case) Puts some perspective on it eh?

*takes a deep breath* Cwew, I'm about to let loose on your ass...I've been holding back a lot but it seems you're itching to make things a little interesting on this forum. *wink* Which is something I'm not fully prepared for. I mean, it takes thinking and shit to reply with most of your comments...In time...In time.....

The inescapable truth is that I'm only as smart as the world sees me.
