Exclamation "Most Intellects Do Not Believe In God..."

IP: F694 DF56

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)

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.

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"...

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

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...

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.........
