Tsuzuki Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 If you practice witchcraft and sorcery, how does that glorify God.It glorifies God through my own personal growth, as you mentioned above.How do you practice it? What actions are involved in your witchcraft and sorcery?Lots of visualization, sigilization, belief modification, and the subtle tweaking of people.
LifeOnaPlate Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Huh?That was Tsuzuki, not Tarski.Go back and look.My mistake. I stand by my point, however.
Tarski Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 I am you.And I am you.I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.I'm crying.Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday.Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob.Mister City Policeman sittingPretty little policemen in a row.See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky, see how they run.I'm crying, I'm crying.I'm crying, I'm crying.Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye.Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess,Boy, you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down.I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob.Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun.If the sun don't come, you get a tanFrom standing in the English rain.I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob.Expert textpert choking smokers,Don't you thing the joker laughs at you?See how they smile like pigs in a sty,See how they snied.I'm crying.Semolina pilchard, climbing up the Eiffel Tower.Elementary penguin singing Hari Krishna.Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe.I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob.Goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob g'goo. We were talking-about the space between us all Andthe people-who hide themselves behind a wall ofillusion Never glimpse the truth-then it's far toolate-when they pass away. We were talking-aboutthe love we all could share-when we find it To tryour best to hold it there-with our love With ourlove-we could save the world-if they only knew.Try to realise it's all within yourself No-oneelse can make you change And to see you're reallyonly very small, And life flows on within you andwithout you. We were talking-about the love that'sgone so cold and the people,Who gain the world and lose their soul- They don'tknow-they can't see-are you one of them? Whenyou've seen beyond yourself-then you may find,peace of mind, Is waiting there- And the time willcome when you see we're all one, and life flows onwithin you and without you.
Son Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 And I am you.Acidic nonesense, put to a really good down beat
BarrelO'Mangoes Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 I've cried for 3 days over Snape. I can't even think about him without getting weepy (here it comes). The books are not satanic and I thought this last book had a beautiful theme of sacrifice. I loved it.
USU78 Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 I've cried for 3 days over Snape. I can't even think about him without getting weepy (here it comes). The books are not satanic and I thought this last book had a beautiful theme of sacrifice. I loved it.In the first book, we find Snape (against Harry's expectations) saving Harry's life at the Quidditch Pitch.In the last book, we find out why . . . and so much else . . . about Sev.USU "Albus Severus" 78
Joseph Antley Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 I think any good person typifies Christ to the extent that they typify a good character.No person is as good as Christ is, of course... unless that person is also as good as God.But all the good guys are the same "type" of good as Jesus Christ.... and all the bad guys are the same "type" of bad as Satan.Me too (in a sense)... and I only keep up with the movies. True, but I was saying that I doubted Rowling intended it to be that way.
moriancamur Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 I've cried for 3 days over Snape. I can't even think about him without getting weepy (here it comes). The books are not satanic and I thought this last book had a beautiful theme of sacrifice. I loved it. me too. really enjoyed the sentiment and the ending. Tied everything up well I thought. HP for president!I thought the idea that anyone who wanted power was unlikely fit to have it! Very good point!
Bond...James Bond Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 I've cried for 3 days over Snape. I can't even think about him without getting weepy (here it comes). The books are not satanic and I thought this last book had a beautiful theme of sacrifice. I loved it. I think a book on what Snape was doing behind the scenes while playing double agent would be a cool premise.
Ron Beron Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Satanic? Probably no more than the Left Behind series of books. Now, thaaat is satanic.
urroner Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Satanic? Probably no more than the Left Behind series of books. Now, thaaat is satanic.Well, Left Behind is less satanic than Kirk Cameron's reasoning of the shape of the banana is solid proof that there is a God. Now that really had me laughing.
LifeOnaPlate Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Well, Left Behind is less satanic than Kirk Cameron's reasoning of the shape of the banana is solid proof that there is a God. Now that really had me laughing.I'd like to see that, CFR?
BarrelO'Mangoes Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Bananas and KirkAfter I watched I just wanted to ask them about their theory on the watermelon.I think a book on what Snape was doing behind the scenes while playing double agent would be a cool premise.I don't think I can handle it. I was so overwhelmed by Snape's love and his struggles I don't think I could read anymore of it.
Son Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Satanic? Probably no more than the Left Behind series of books. Now, thaaat is satanic. So true, and so sad......
Joseph Antley Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Rowling has already started on two new projects, one for children and one for adults. She said probably only one of them will come through, and implied that neither of them were fantasy-themed.
Jigglysaint Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 I think a book on what Snape was doing behind the scenes while playing double agent would be a cool premise.BTW, I think I know why Voldermort has such a high pitched voice and why he can't seem to love anybody.Eunich, anybody?

I was so overwhelmed by Snape's love and his struggles I don't think I could read anymore of it.Why did he open the banana wrong? Even monkeys know the other end is much easier to open.

consiglieri Posted July 28, 2007 Author Posted July 28, 2007 True, but I was saying that I doubted Rowling intended it to be that way.Inasmuch as I do not know JK personally, I will probably never know what she "intended" absent some kind of public statement from her one way or the other.On the other hand, it is difficult for me to believe that an author as obviously intelligent as JK would not look back at what she wrote and see the obvious parallels to the sacrifice of the Savior.I mean, if I can see it . . .All the Best!--ConsiglieriI think a book on what Snape was doing behind the scenes while playing double agent would be a cool premise.Your brilliance is on display with that idea.Interestingly, a guy at church last Sunday suggested that a good follow-up would be to look at the entire seven book series from the persepctive of Draco Malfoy.All the Best!--Consiglieri
consiglieri Posted July 28, 2007 Author Posted July 28, 2007 I don't think I can handle it. I was so overwhelmed by Snape's love and his struggles I don't think I could read anymore of it.My wife hit it pretty good when she said that all Snape wanted was to be loved, and he never found it.As a substitute, he became a Death Eater, feeling the need to belong somewhere.There was one person who loved him, though, and that was Dumbledore.And as a culmination of that relationship of love and trust, Dumbledore asked Snape to kill him.So the one person that ever loved Snape, Snape had to kill because of that love.Pretty freakin' tragic.All the Best!--Consiglieri
consiglieri Posted July 28, 2007 Author Posted July 28, 2007 Why did he open the banana wrong? Because he has eyes to see and a brain that works.The banana is the "atheist's nightmare"?I think that may be a tad on the hyperbolic side.All the Best!--Consiglieri

HP for president!I thought the idea that anyone who wanted power was unlikely fit to have it! Very good point!Yes, this theme came through nicely with Harry forced to decide between Hallows or Horcruxes; a theme that Harry Potter shares with Lord of the Rings.All the Best!--Consiglieri
BarrelO'Mangoes Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Why did he open the banana wrong? Even monkeys know the other end is much easier to open.Apparently the banana is more perfect than his brain.
