Horus - Egyptian Sky God

Mr Smith is one most devoted christian that anyone ever has known of. He lived in a nice big house called Diginity, and has a big family of five, his wife is called Mercy, he has the following kids: Innocent, Agressive and Indecisive. The whole family is grateful for what God has given them, and they all followed God's words

One day, a robber broke into the house with a gun, and BAN, killed Innocent. Everyone was awoke by the noise. Aggressive carried his riffle and said "Dad, let me kill the bastard!"

Mercy cried:" no! how horrorable you speak your words! we must NOT kill by God's words!"

Smith said:"That is right, son, we must not kill, lets try negotiate with him."

So Mercy went to the robber with a charming smile on her face, but too bad, BANNN, she is dead too.

Then the robber robbed the diginity clean, and turned to leave. Aggressive cannot wait any longer, so he took the riffle and chased the robber down. Being too bigheaded, he trippled himself over before the robber, and there we go, BANN, another one is dead.

Mr. Smith was so pained by the loss, he cried and cried:"ohh... what have I done? Only if I took some actions early!! now the robber had killed Innocent, killed my woman so there will be no Mercy left to give, and killed my son. Now only the Indecisive and I left!! I am a MURDER!!"

Well, I can tell you that right now!! Supposing 'god' came to earth, then everyone would, first of all, want PROOF that he/she/it was god. As soon as he said anything that people majorly disagreed with, because it went against their vested interests, they'd probably do something really horrible like, oh, I don't know, crucify him or something??

Of course, being god, probably he wouldn't be crucifyable, so they'd just have to do a smear campaign so no-one would believe what he said........ He might have something to say about freedom of belief, for example, and that wouldn't suit everyone.

Might also have something to say about no way being 'the right way', but all ways affording paths to the divine, if people follow them with sincerity and love. Again, that wouldn't suit everyone!!

Sorry Seph, but what is funny about Dio's post? You said that it wasn't as funny as the terrorist post, I haven't read the terrorist post, so haven't a clue about that, just wondering why you thought the above was funny at all?? (Didn't mean to jump down your throat..... :begpardon:

ahh, someone like you probably wouldnt find it very funny anyway. it was about the terrorists and what happened to them in Hell... sorry, i have a very dark sense of humor. some other people probably thought it was funny too, if you want i could post it here...

It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every living soul.


What are you saying? Are you trying to tell me you have feelings now? Ha, ha, ha... Stop acting as if you're sad. And there's no need to act as if you're angry either. Because, Cloud, you are... a puppet.

Someone like me..... hmmm. Should I be flattered or peturbed. I think I'll go with the former.

If you read my posts on some of the lighter threads, Seph, I think you'll find that I very much do have a sense of humour. However, I've never found pain, suffering, misery, death or violence particularly appropriate topics for humour. (Boring bitch..........) To my mind, what we trivialise, we are more likely to accept.

So no, I'll pass on the terrorist/hell thing. If I see one more flip thing about death, I think I'll explode. (Not getting at you. Just read a few posts that made me see red, that's all..... )

You are very welcome, dear Cheetah.

Actually I think you would find the article he refers to funny, when you are feeling in a lighter mood. It is another "article" at the Onion, about the Terrorists being interviewed about their surprise to wake up in Hell instead of Heaven. You can reference it by the Link I posted above, in the "last weeks news" section. You would enjoy the Onion site, Cheetah. It is full of biting social and political satire. The above article about God speaking out was an exception to its normally light hearted tone.

Other current articles there include stuff like "US vows to defeat whoever it is we are at war with" and this little gem:

Bush Sr. Apologizes To Son For Funding Bin Laden In '80s
MIDLAND, TX— Former president George Bush issued an apology to his son Monday for advocating the CIA's mid-'80s funding of Osama bin Laden, who at the time was resisting the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. "I'm sorry, son," Bush told President George W. Bush. "We thought it was a good idea at the time because he was part of a group fighting communism in Central Asia. We called them 'freedom fighters' back then. I know it sounds weird. You sort of had to be there." Bush is still deliberating over whether to tell his son about the whole supporting-Saddam Hussein-against-Iran thing.


Good stuff
