"Most Intellects Do Not Believe In God..."
First let me star by saying, if you truly want to be a rapper you have to enjoy literature and reading,anfd you have to have a love and appreciation for words. So read this in it's entirety. Then respond with a message or question.
I'm an Erykah Badu fan. Don't have not 1 c.d but I'm a fan. I like the way she thinks. For instance, the song on and on. She uses alot of metaphors in that song, like "...with 3 dollars and six dimes". 3 dollars and six dimes is 3.60 which represents 360 degrees (the measurement of a full circle). 360 degrees is something that the 5%'s nation uses to represent full understanding and knowledge. Completeness. In the chorus of the song she says, "My cipher keeps movin like a rolling stone". I didnt know what her cipher was until my friend who went to her concert told me. She has a tatoo of her cipher on her arm. (the thing that looks like a cross but has like a loop at the top)The tatoo represents the ovaries(the loop) the fallopian tubes (the two arms) and the birth canal(the bottom part of the cipher). When she says "My cipher keeps moving like a rolling stone" she is talking about life, it keeps moving. But what had me most awe struck is when she said "Most intelects do not believe in God but they fear us just the same". What that means is most intellects have their own theory about how our existance came to be and rely more on tagibility and facts. But when they are around christians, they go out of thier way not to offend us, and alter their behavior. Which means they are reverencing something that they claim tey dont even believe in. So fear and respect are the same thing in this instance. Which shows that God is truly real because the bible says "At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, and every tounge confess". So I'm gonna keep that lyric from Erykah as my signature for awhile till I find something else clever to put down there and right a whole essay about it on here. Selah(think about it) |
never heard of erykah bada............
those metas are ok i spose.... if u like her thats good for u ........ sounds kinda wack thread tho?,., |
i think if i herd thoughs metas in a verse i would have to think tha little bit to get it.... im glad there are some clever ass people to think like that
|
I'm Considered An Intellect By Most On Site...
And I Dont Support The Idea Of A God And Heavan And What Not... Most Intellects Think Beyond The Facts... Truth Is Only Truth If You Believe It... If You Chose To Make Something Else Be Your Truth Then It Will Be... And Myself Personaly Always Remember This... So When Someone Gives Me A Fact, I Think Beyond Just There Fact And Form My Own Truth... .One. |
Quote:
Most intellects in america maybe most other countries are ruled by religion and their "God and Heaven" |
How Can you make up your own truth
Quote:
So your truth is derived from what you accept to be a fact? I just wanna say that I'm not trying to start a holy argument, and tell people whats right and wrong, but this is a very intereting topic. I'm excited. So in order for intellects think beyond facts, facts have to be introduced and some what accepted right? Why dont you suppor the "idea" of God and Heaven. And even though you claim to not support the idea, how is your interaction with people who do support the idea. Do you avoid the discussion of the idea or do you welcome it. What do you do? I'm really interested. |
Quote:
thats really interesting what you said. So do you believe that intellect and philosophy are synonymous? Do they have the same influence on ones lifestyle? |
Because...
To Mean I've HEARD Others Facts On The Topic... And To Me There Is More Reason To Believe Against It... Now, Im About To Say Alot Of My Opinions Right Now... If You Dont Wanna Hear Then Leave... Dont Come In Here And Act Ignorant In This Conversation... To Me The Whole Heavan Hell Concept Is Outdated... If I'm Good I Sit In The Clouds And If Im Bad I Rest In The Fire???... Now I Believe Something SIMILAR To That... But I Dont Believe It Takes Place In An Afterlife... I Support The Thought Of Reincarnation More... And The Whole Moral Praise, Like If Your Good Good Will Come Kinda Plays In... I See It As We're Reincarnated And Are Next Is As Good As We Were In The Last... Not A Hell In The Ground Or Heavan On The Clouds... But Hell On Land (Ghetto's,Wars,Slaves, Ect.)... And Heavan On Earth (Rich Neighborhoods,Loving Families,Diffrent Gifts/Talents)... And Variations Of Both (Being Rich But Not Being Close To Your Family, Poor But Your Family Is Rich In Love)... All Is Reflective Of How You Were In The Last Life... And The Whole Have Faith And You'll Be Saved... That Just Seams So Off... The Concept Of Faith To Me Give A Fake Prophet The Abilities To Take Claim Of Every Good Happening And Excuses Him Of Misfortunes Blame... Thats How I See It... I Mean Compare Your Beliefs To My Self Thought Up Beliefs... Wich Seams More Realist And Has A Greater Possability Of Being The "Truth"... .One. |
What I think matters about as much as when I went to the poll to vote, it dosent. But sence you asked my openion I'd say that when man's so called "intellect" is thought to be greater than the the lords influence on us all as a whole than negative things are bound to happen to all of us

I believe that isnt literal I believe it is actually metaphores for what awaites us all The "locust swarming" that you cannot hide nore run from stated in revelations I believe it to actually be "Helicoptors" in a war thats on it's way to greet us all to swiftly |
Mmm...
But You So Strongly Support Your God... But By Taking A Turn Away From The Bibles Literal Turns In The Churchs "TRUTH" You Are Now A Blasfimer... Am I Correct???... Thats Another Reason I Dont Support It... The Bible Is To Rigid For Our Day And Age... It Was Created Ina Time When The Things We Now How Could Not Have POSSIBLY Been Imagined... .One. |
Quote:
No I am not a blasphemer the bible is all meta's any reverand will state that. |
But Not In Terms Of The Afterlife...
Those Are Met To Be Taken Quite Literally... |
id have to disagree with abstarakt on the truth thing... think about it.. the bible only wants you to live by morals.. which is why every religion is asically the same change a phew names,places and ideas... but if u live my morals, then it dont matter what religion u claim, you will be going to the same place (heaven in my opnion).. u can be jewish, and go to heaven.. as long as live by morals, treat people nicely, and live the best life you can live... the bible isnt meant to be taken literaly.. as i dont take it that way.. i see it as gudance and a phew interesting stories along the way.. dont go to church and think you have an idea of a religion.. cause most times ur just getting someone elses interpretation of that religion.. which is why you MUST read the bible or karon or the books of your religion, then interpret what is being said YOURSELF, then carry out as u think it says to.. i kind of got of off subject a little, but just letting you know what i believe.. im originally a baptist, but i dont do things quite as they do.........
|
im still shocked some of you have never heard OF erykah badu
anyways....common summed up my thoughts on religion in the why remix (<-- hottest track out at the moment) "why i gotta have religion if i believe in god" p.s. there are a lot of books that are held out of the bible |
Dude, don't come on rap sites shoving that religous crap down our throats.. U totally misinterpreted that meta, what does Christianity or religion have to do with God?..
"Why Do I Need Religion if I believe in God?" - Common Think about that, that is not what Erica was sayin, and we go out of our way to not offend christians because they get easily offended and are judgmental in a lot of cases. So we don't wanna get persecuted just because we believe something different, and might not take the bible (which is 1 of thousands of books on God) as historically accurate.. i mean, that's how i see it.. |
I love Erykah Badu's music and poetry as well, but to continue on this topic, not everyone is going to agree with which religion or spiritual path is the "best", or right for you, as long as you believe in something that generates passion in your heart to do good and be true to yourself, who are we to critisize? i believe the bible, the koran, the buddhists principles, the tao te ching, were all written with the same underlying conditions, to love, do unto others as we would have done to us, and have faith and beliefs in a "god", but that could mean anything.. i believe that these ancient texts were all written in metaphors on purpose so that we could all come up with our vision and thoughts on the subject.....although some "religious" people abuse they're beliefs and start holy wars, to compete for the title of which is "best", there is no best or greatest, just differences, these are my opinions, have a nice day y'all
|
i will agree, i'm a catholic , but not a going to church believe in all that, if you think about it religion is just the answer to what we cant answer, because we have the questions, but nothing to answer them with, so what do we turn to? the supernatural, god and religion is just the answer to the question of origin, and how we got here, but in all actuallity it dosent add up. we as a human race, homo sapiens, go through a life cycle, there is no after life, (after life is jus so we are not scared to die) we need a point even after death look at the egyptians and all other ancient societies, but we do die, and after that nothing, no hell , no gates, just dirt

erika and common are newwoopiens the dumbest religion on earth we chased malikai york outta n.y.c for preaching that bullshit and any intelligent man will believe in GOD for only a fool would believe himself to be GOD the definition of good is a self sustaining entity are you self sustaining?hell no yu need air water food madd shit to live and can you create something from nothing?no you need things to create even a child taked sperm and a egg you make nothing and create nothing at all.can i prove GOD exists nope but you cant prove he dont :nono:

|
i dont think common or erika badu are fucking retards.. common speaks mad truth...
|
that dont mean he aint smart a wise man is he who uses his knowledge while a fool is one who does not.hes smart but doesnt use it read the book first only a fool could believe that nonsense
|
i dont doubt newblahblahianblah religion is a dumb ass theory.. but in any case he prolly stil going to heaven.. cause as long as you live a good life, any religion, any where, the afterlife will be gifted for you..
|
your intitled to your opion but i dont believe that i believe you have to accept the true religion to go to heaven but your intitiled to your belief.
|
thats some touchy stuff... most people avoid rapping about religion because theres so many of them and no ultimate religion... she has some pretty clever lines but not everyone tries 2 change themselves when they are around christians..
just my thoughts |
Quote:
Well it's not a good/bad thing, because it doesnt matter how good you are, if you arent saved (meaning that you believe God sent his son Jesus through the virgin mary, to die for your sins and arise on the third day to sit on the right hand of the father) you are still going to hell. There is no amount of good deeds that you can do to get into heaven because salvation is not earned. Those who are saved are saved through God's grace and all men are sinners and fall short to the glory of god. The way you look at the concept and how it relates to today and our "now reality" is what I precieve as the way God has blessed us, and the consequence of our sins. But at the same time, what we dont have can be looked at as what God is taking us through to strengthen our testimony (cause you dont want advice from someone who has'nt been through anything or not similar to your situation) also, in our decrease, God's glory is increased. Meaning God sometimes gives and takes away so that we wont get besides ourselves and think that we did everything on our own. |
Quote:
Actually the Bible itself says study my word and hide it in your heart so that it may not depart from you. Meaning the bible requires dillegent study, and interpretation. I'm not sure about the helicopter thing, but Jesus himself spoke in parables so everything in the bible isn't to be taken in a literal sense. It has a lot of symbolism and metaphors. |
Quote:
I'm not shoving down your throats. You have the choice to read this thread or pass it up. Apparently alot of people are interested in this topic. And what do you think it means. I honestly wanna know, not to seem like a smart ass or to make it look like I think that I'm superior. And u need religion because God requires us to fellowship with others like and unlike us to spread the gopel. |
why is it a piece of shit?
|
lol..this needs to be closed its the wrong place for this period...in my opinion take it to another site im srry but it wouldve been different if you said "how does religion or god effect your writing (rap)"....but this is str8 BS......
