Guardianism in Signature?

[Marcus]

oh yeah, i pray to a lifesize sculpture of abraham lincoln carved out of meat loaf.  i channel my divine magic and cast magic missile through it.  you guys can't see my magic or know that i'm actually a space alien from the planet fruton because humans are imperfect beings and only perfect eyes can see the truth.

you can't refute this because truth isn't absolute and because abraham lincoln says so.  i win.

So something that was all powerful and all knowing would be a slave to the desire to hoard stuff.  I've always felt the same way.  But why start one?  Why not just not have one?

The Jury was created because there needs to be laws and limits.  Especially when some have the ability to bend the force, which could ultimately distort it and destroy it.  This is why the force create the Jury.

Well, the main thing that is wrong with them is that all the major religions have an omnipotent being.  This, in my opinion, cannot exist because that being would succumb to greed.

The being does succumb to greed. Islam, Christianity, and Judaism all embrace the Old Testament in which God randomly created the world, flooded it, killed everyone, burned down towns, and turned people into salt on a whim. How is that not succumbing to greed? (If the Bible is to be believed, anyway)

Also greed is a human concept, how can one pigeonhole the divine into human terms?

I say they are the same because, just like us, they have souls.  As for the other religions, I do have to agree with you.  The other gods succumb to greed at times.  There are other things I don't agree with in the other religions, like Adam and Eve, the world being created in 7 days, etc.  In other words, the stuff that has, at this point, have pretty much been disproven.

Guardian ignore the trolls.  I'm curious as to the experience that led you suspect/discover that you could use magic.  I've always suspected but never had a true belief.  I have meditated many times and sometimes gotten the feeling of energy beams from my fingertips.  Is it magic?  Is it similar for you?

~Guardian1239

Right, because your religion doesn't have anything that has been disproven like magic or anything like that, right?

 

[Stardust]

Also how did you suspect or discover you could use magic?

I've never heard that magic was disproven.  I've actually received a little support with the discovery of dark matter, which is basically the force.  I'm not saying I can't be disproven - I will most likely be eventually.  But, until that time, people will create explanations, which is what this is.

Fuck do you even know what Dark Matter IS!?

It's matter.

MATTER.

Not some hokey fake magic crap.

Please try to understand things before you decide that they support your views.

And force is matter.  It's not nothingness.  It exists in everything because it is the base on which everything was built.

Oh well.  At least I gave everyone good signatures for a while. 

I used two posts because I haven't been able to keep up with the flow until now.  Sorry, though.

So, this whole Guardianism is basically a mockery of other religions where you pick and choose things you like and disregard the things you don't like?

Guardian, you have no idea what a "religion" is.  It is a shared communal belief in a single idea that is practiced through worship and strengthened by faith.  You cannot just make shit up on a whim and claim it to be the absolute truth.  God has a soul?  Omnipotent beings submit to greed?  Considering the existence of higher beings is only spoken of in religious text and they are written without fault, there is no actual evidence claiming a god to be greedy.  

So by your logic, Guardian, your religion is a farce because I have access to magic making me better than you.  Do you see how wild claims work, now?

GUARDIAN(SOMENUMBERSHERE), YOU ARE A COMPLETE AND TOTAL DUMBASS TO EVEN CREATE AND/OR BELIVE SUCH A FUCKING STUPID PIECE OF FICTION LIKE THIS.  GO DIE IN A FIRE

I don't believe killing me for having ideas is a very good idea.  I have every right to express them.

I'm going to change it.  It will no longer be called a religion after everyone's . . . input.
