• "A cage went in search of a bird."
    Are these also from a collection of Aphorisms?
    I liked the first one.
  • If my bird lays an egg in your garden, who does that egg belong to?
    Late to this but if your bird lays an egg, the egg belongs to the bird who belongs to you, so the egg is yours.
  • The Wheel
    Not necessarily backwards thinking more like it's refusal to play along harmed them all.
    Their attempt at compensation was doomed to fail.
  • "A cage went in search of a bird."
    So the cage is impending doom?
  • "A cage went in search of a bird."
    Nice. This was a perspective I never thought of. Thanks!
  • A cautionary tale of a thief and the lemon juice
    Knowledge is inexhaustible, it makes sense that someone who therefore holds a lot of knowledge would be aware of the difference in ratio. Not to say that this is an absolute though
  • The Trinity
    I think the Trinity was supposed to display the Christian's perceptions of his personality, even the Jews had more than one name for him, names that reflected aspects/facets of his personality. Jehovah Shammah, Jehovah Nissi, etc
  • Does Jesus qualify as an idol?
    Christian churches are full of carved images.Gnostic Christian Bishop

    Now to this , the issue of the rosary and other supposedly holy statuary is one that still Sparks debate in Christian gatherings.
    As much as I agree with your assessment of this act as idolatory. Your overly generalistic view of Christianity is not very realistic
  • Does Jesus qualify as an idol?
    What is an idol in the biblical view. An idol is a graven or carved image, spiritual entity or substance that attempts to detract glory from God. The whole point of Jesus's ministry was to show human beings the true and perfected way of worship. Christ himself said " I am in my father and my father in me, he who believes in me believes in my father" also " there is only one way to the Father and that is through the Son" Admittedly due to the current popularity of Christianity and the diverse denominations coming into being everyday a lot of strange philosophies are masquerading as Christian but this was anticipated by the early disciples, it doesn't mean you should separate Jesus from the Christian God or set him up as some sort of apostate or selfcontradiction
  • Is god a coward? Why does god fear to show himself?
    Reading your text only convinces me of your dislike of mainstream Christianity, it's interesting that you can't make a statement without insulting or castigating. That said since you know so much about the Bible how come you are under the impression that it was "written"
    bible was written as a book of wisdom, but literal reading screwed up the wisdom.Gnostic Christian Bishop
  • Is god a coward? Why does god fear to show himself?
    You assume he fears to, what if he is merely uninterested in you. Also are you referring to a universal coming out of the cupboard by showing or do you mean individually.
    A lot of people claim to detect recurring patterns in history, now imagine how it looks to an all-knowing or even simply multidimensional being. Very boring huh.
    You presume that humans can and will understand God, does your pet fully understand and anticipate you? Sure there is a level of implicit telepathy with a familiar cat but that cat doesn't understand half of what goes through your mind and probably doesn't care.
    Now, if you can ignore ego and pride for a moment, imagine you are the cat and God is the human.
  • Homo suicidus
    I was thinking over this and I came to the conclusion that the two defining characteristics of Humanity is our absolute Dissatisfaction and the passive fear and understanding of death
