Such a profound post

Would have been better with a curb stomping.

I'm referring to the Egyptian god Ra. I think people should be allowed to talk about him and other gods.





Is this better?

I need to become a more creative poster too

Owned....

Damn

Getting back on topic...

If ya don't mind I would like to leard a lil bit about this Egyptian God Ra....was he or is he much like the christian God? or much like the Devil? Is he just some kind of figurine that people believe to be a God? You have to excuse my ignorance but like a lot of folks on here this is the 1st time I have heard of such a God

Good idea, BM

Here is a link to Wikipedia on Ra

Ra is a pimp, so that would made Anukabal his... *I can't say that on the forum*

Well BM it wouldn't be like Ra is like God, more the other way around. And this is evident with stories on the divine name. Which perhaps helped to inspire the Tetragrammaton.

isnt there only one true god? the creator of the universe?

OOOOOOO

So scared... NOT!
If that so called ruler of the universe has power, then I shall die right after I do this post, if I edit it then he doesn't exists...


EDITED TO CONFIRM THAT HE DOESN'T EXISTS!


Now who is all powerful here? huh? huh?

If you want to believe that then go ahead.

an atheist as well as a comedian ...

TY Rowan I'll be sure to check that out

I was asking a question ?

I tought that what yelekiah said was the joke...

Who are you referring to?


And I'm saying that if you want to believe it, more power to you, although there is no evidence of that.

Hmm the other way around...now thats intresting..so far from the site RR gave me it seems to be mythical..but thats only going by a simple glance...I need to take the time to read it before I can pass judgement of my own thoughts

not you.........

Yep, read some books on Kabbalah, then read some material on Egyptian Creation stories. It's like plagiarism.

Truly? And why isn't a Bible mythical?

LOL, so you are saying that the christian god isn't mythical? it just isn't if you don't believe in it to be...
It's all in your head people, it's all in your head, now go see a doctor!


EDITED: this was to BM, except the go see a doctor part, that's to everybody here!

Now that I have taken some lil time to read it...to me it's Egyptian mythology and intresting to find how much it changed as time went on from the time when it combined with the Theban god Amun to become Amun-Ra. I was concerned about Yahweh and now have just learned that Yahweh was believed to be the worlds creator.

The egyptians have some imagination

LOL, and doesn't the christians do also?

When you say a Bible..are you speaking about the bible according to christians? if so..then as I have made it clear before in my different threads I will do so again...yes IMO it too is mythical..for I do not believe for a split second that the words within it are the actual words of God.

Every culture had its own creation myths. Who is to say that it is not the same being going under different names?

Who is to say that they aren't all fake?

Again, why isn't the Bible mythology. You totally skirted the question, like most people do...
What many people fail to realize is that they believe in something only because of it's popularity. Ra is thousands of years before Jesus. And there are so many parallels with the Egyptian stories and the Christian ones, people don't realize that there are many pagan ideas in the Bible. And yet pagans are shunned at times. I suggest you read some books on the material.

You don't seem to know too much on the subject, but the letters of God's ancient name in Latin letters is IHVH. Very similar to the Egyptian HUHI, divine name (before the Tetragrammaton) and both have interchangeable letters.

And the Bible could easily be a work of imagination, given that some of the books were based on dreams and nightmares that people had (Revelation, Daniel, etc) Not only that, but at the time the Bible was written pious fiction was gaining popularity.
And why written in third person? It would be much more practical if it was written in first.
And another thing, the Egyptians did in fact worship Ra, but I'm guessing you knew that already.

I say that we dare every god in the world to kill me, if they are unable to do so after I post this then they aren't real!


EDITED:they aren't real!

Yel read this slowly...I asked you a question in ref to the last time when you asked me- (pay attention) - Why isn't the bible a myth...guess what hun...I did answer it...the only way I know how to but to make it a lot simpler just for you...I will say again.....IMO the bible is a myth (plz note I said IMO) now Yel take your time sunshine and scroll up and actually READ what I said in ref to your last post asking the same QUESTION

I'll spell it out for you again...yes IMO the bible is....mythical....I have said it once and a thousand times throughout this board

And when it comes to Egyptian myths...yes sunshine you are right as I CLEARY stated I know nothing about the subject..now if I did..why the heck would I ask such question about Ra ect to help you out its post 576!!

Jeez, and then I am the inattentive here...
actually I tried to read it once but I got distracted by something else and I just tought that it wasn't interesting enough (lame excuse)

You know how the forum works BM, you posted it *before* mine.
And I haven't had time to edit it. You know that posts cross. But I guess you forget eh?
Plus, my post is really long, and I'm quoting your *previous* post if you didn't notice...so ingest that.
edit: Also, no need to quote large blocks of text.

silly atheists...why would god waste his time on you

Why wouldn't he? Just because someone is a non believer doesn't mean that God would ignore he or she

he or she was asking god to kill him or her did you read the post?

I was referrring to the Tetragramamton and the Latin letters. I clearly say that in my post about God's ancient name. Reread it.

From the amount of time when you 1st asked me the question it took you a further 17 mins to re-ask it...maybe if you where a tad more patient you would have seen I had it answered....and throughout this board and I know you have seen my thoughts on the bible for you yourself have asked me about my beliefs...I told you I don't see the bible as Gods word and I dont go to church...actually I have said this so many times...like a broken record

Yea and thought it was silly...anyone that comes out with that is being silly....best ignored IMO

Aww bet that made you feel good again...thats nice

Did you not see how long my post was? A long post takes time to type

Yea, you say you don't read it
That however, was not my question. My question was about myth. I've *never* seen you call it a myth until recently. So ingest that too.
edit:

Seeing you make a fool out of yourself yes.

Wow. Guys, calm down. Take deep breaths. Remember, we are in search of an answer, not a good way to offend each other, so lets remained civilised.
And thats all I got to say

God Bless.

Cool. I agree

Yel sweetheart you make me laugh...lol you haven't seen me call it a myth but you have seen me say over and over and over again that it don't follow it, I don't believe it to be the word of god and I don't read it ....now that to me sounds like someone to see it as unbelievable and a myth if you will take from it what you like it still boils down to the one thing

Now where I had said I don't read it.....I have however (once again must repeat) been taught it in my early days believe it or not I have stated several times throughout this board that I was once religious...uhuh tis true

but as for making a fool out myself(results to name calling) ..LOL yel hun I am glad to see that lil ole BM here can get under your skin...such thrill....here is a tip next time you want to ask a question...why not wait a lil while to see if I have read your question and give just a few mins before you rush in and attack there's a good chap

Whats this all about anyway? What was the topic? The Bible's mythology compared to the Egyptian beliefs?
Something like that?

Not reading the Bible and believing it is a myth are two different things, BM.
BM, it only took me 6 minutes to respond, not 17. wtf are you talking about?

Goodness me. I believe I have already asked once to have people get back on topic.

If you wish to argue non relevant points we have a lovely pm service and/or a fully furnished debating section, please make use of these facilities.

TO me it is...if I don't believe in a storey I will call it a myth...and that doesn't just mean the bibile that could mean any story...

go back and read the time difference between your 1st question and the second time where you tried so hard to be the wise guy and re-ask it without giving me time to answer...even though I had answered you and my answer to your 1st question was followed by two different posts by two different members in between....

to help you out...(so you can understand) you posted the 1st question at 11.51pm (gmt) my time and re-posted the same question @ 12.08am again (gmt) my time...to me in my calculation that makes 17 mins

Ahem!

You heard the guy. Get back on topic.

It's 6 min on mine and evident in the amount of time it took me to answer. Perhaps your time is messed up because everyone knows it didn't take 17 min.
Me, I don't think Ra or God is in another realm. Just Anubis.
