If I said that God spoke to ME

[zer0]

...through a Burning Bush I found or in the middle of the desert when I was starving... OR just on a regular basis.... And he told me recently that we should go slaughter our neighbors and take their daughters for ourselves.... Would you call me a prophet or a loon?

 

[Madhuri]

I would call you dangerous, just as I consider those guys from back in the day to have been.

 

[Willamena]

Depends. Provided you worded it nicely, I might call you a poet.

That.

Ain't no difference.

Glad to see there are reasonable people on these board =) my journey is complete. Some theologists, when under the influence of their God, say that they would allow many things. It's scary really.

I'd call you Glenn Beck

Here's on better. If you said that today, even with the bible stating it happened, would you be in an asylum? Odds are YES!!

HAHA. Yeah, I'll admit he is a funny guy when it comes to religion but I'll tell you what when it comes to politics and history he's got it better than most people on television. He's like that conservative political commentator for 'soft heart' christian conservatives. But when craps about to hit the fan he'll tell you despite some of his more radical poses on Islam and the such (even though when it comes to radical Islam you do have some nutty stuff). In the end, when I'm flipping through the news stations I go from MSNBC to CNN to FOX I see an actor that has no idea what he is talking about and is reading a script, to an actor who has no idea what he is talking about but has some opinions on it, to an actor who has a good idea of what he is talking about and has some opinions on it. That's just one mans opinion though. I hate it when he cries.

1. If that is you in your profile pic which I think it is you are super fit. Do you have any tips for someone who has multiple sleep-disorders to put on muscle mass because I've tried a lot.

2. I would hope that I would be in an asylum but judging from past events I may just gain some followers. So long as I had acid or promised polygamy. All would bow down :bow:

This is a silly question. The reason it is a silly question because you are instructed to do something that is commonly bad. If some voice in a bush instructs you to kill without provocation or defensive purposes then quite obviously it is not the Abrahamic god, but perhaps the god called "schizophrenia."

Another reason why its a silly question is because you are alluding that the prophets of old were crazy and thus you are utterly insulting them.

See now this is where I commonly lose my belief. How can a God, who say's not to kill (and he says kill, not murder, he says kill, the hebrew word he uses in the commandments means to corner and kill. Not kill for motive) can then command to kill! And not only kill a few, but as in the case of the medinites and the amalekites God commands the jews to kill MANY and not only many but ALL he says the women the children the baby children the women that were not virgins and keep the virgins... I mean this is not something like "protect yourself" this is go and seek revenge, and the God say's that it is out of vengeance. Is this the God of Abraham? Or is the seed of Abraham?

Good looking daughters?

@doppelgänger

Well... They are virgins... Soooo... Probably 50/50 shot.

I have a clear memory of accepting the title of prophet from god. I am also a certified psychotic...

Which is to say, the god I glimpsed is more that capable of transmitting seven billion "true gospels" to seven billion "true prophets" whereas none of them agree... i.e. god is big. And yeah, I don't think anyone should subscribe to a theology just because its main proponent happens to claim divine revelation. Didn't the Buddha say something like "don't just take my word for it, give it a try?"

Rest is essential to building muscle so hopefully you can get your sleep disorder resolved. Adding muscle is about calorie surplus and making sure that the surplus is good (higher protein, good carbs) and good time under tension workouts. Most guys neglect their legs, and shouldn't since training legs hard increases GH and anabolic pathways which are essential to adding muscle mass. So train legs hard to start.

Hahaha! I think anyone who has a concept that is unusual will have some followers.

I'd definitely say this wasn't God, but if you just said God spoke to you and left it at that, I'd believe you. Very few of us are mind readers.
