Who Here Believes In God?

[Dynamic]

Don't think about how much pain, hate, jealousy, etc you have felt in your life from another, but think about it from the other point of view. Like why has that happened to me and has it actually happened to someone else and did they actually felt the way i'm feeling right now or did. I know you have to do what you have to do to survive with the world that is headed the way its headed but really think about this one. They are trying to replaced LOVE with HATE, laughter with anger, etc. You can have money to stay on your feet, buy whatever you want, go anywhere you want, but what are you actually feeling. You feel good when that new video card comes out and you just want/need to buy it to play that new "CRYSIS 2" game or get that 240Hz so that the frames stay smooth at High Definition, but are you actually happy or just being entertained? The things that outrages me the most is saying that people have mental illness because they see, hear, feel, smell, and taste (YES SENSES) things that a "NORMAL" person doesn't. The things that outrages me the most is that color, religion, race, . is the way it is because that's how they have made it. So if he looks different even though one of his race just robbed me, ALL OF THEM ARE LIKE HIM. There are good and bad in everything. This can get very complex if you want it, but i know many of you understand what i'm saying and many of you probably HATE me the most, but i assure you things will get better.....

Not to be rude but this screams "Drama Queen" all over it.

 

As for the topic question.

 

NO

[Avinexis]

I don't quite follow...I mean what does God have to do with money, fun, entertainment and video cards...?

Uh oh, did somebody have a bad experience? Get Dynamic's mommy!

this thread wont last long

[malmsteenisgod]

i know many of you understand what i'm saying

 

I haven't a clue what you're saying.

 

And as for your topic question, if you'll direct your attention to my username, then you will find that my answer is, yes, and his name is Yngwie Malmsteen.

Yes, and her name is Haruhi Suzumiya.

On a more serious note though the answer is NO. I find Particle physics much more interesting and believable.

[The Hvat]

no, I do not fool myself into thinking that there is an all knowing and all powerful deity somewhere in the sky watching over and controlling everyone's life, and I do not believe the world is only 6k years old. The bible is all lies.

This post is an epic win, especially with your avatar.

 

As to the thread... The first post is kind of all over the place. I can't get something coherent from it.

[Dariuas]

The Architect: Hello, Neo.

Neo: Who are you?

The Architect: I am the Architect. I created the Matrix. I've been waiting for you. You have many questions, and although the process has altered your consciousness, you remain irrevocably human. Ergo, some of my answers you will understand, and some of them you will not. Concordantly, while your first question may be the most pertinent, you may or may not realize it is also the most irrelevant.

 

The Architect: You are here because Zion is about to be destroyed. Its every living inhabitant terminated, its entire existence eradicated.

Neo: bull crap.

[the monitors respond the same]

The Architect: Denial is the most predictable of all human responses. But, rest assured, this will be the sixth time we have destroyed it, and we have become exceedingly efficient at it.

 

The Architect: There are levels of survival we are prepared to accept. However, the relevant issue is whether or not you are ready to accept the responsibility for the death of every human being in this world.

 

Neo: If I were you, I would hope we don't meet again.

The Architect: We won't.

 

The Architect: Humph. Hope, it is the quintessential human delusion, simultaneously the source of your greatest strength, and your greatest weakness.

 

The Architect: As I was saying, she stumbled upon a solution whereby nearly ninety-nine percent of the test subjects accepted the program provided they were given a choice - even if they were only aware of it at a near-unconscious level. While this solution worked, it was fundamentally flawed, creating the otherwise contradictory systemic anomaly, that, if left unchecked, might threaten the system itself. Ergo, those who refused the program, while a minority, would constitute an escalating probability of disaster.

Neo: This is about Zion.

 

The Architect: There are two doors. The door to your right leads to the Source and the salvation of Zion. The door to your left leads back to the Matrix, to her... and to the end of your species. As you adequately put, the problem is choice. But we already know what you are going to do, don't we? Already I can see the chain reaction: the chemical precursors that signal the onset of an emotion, designed specifically to overwhelm logic and reason. An emotion that is already blinding you to the simple and obvious truth: she is going to die and there is nothing you can do to stop it.

 

Neo: Why am I here?

The Architect: Your life is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent to the programming of the matrix. You are the eventuality of an anomaly, which despite my sincerest efforts I have been unable to eliminate from what is otherwise a harmony of mathematical precision. While it remains a burden assiduously avoided, it is not unexpected, and thus not beyond a measure of control. Which has led you, inexorably, here.

Neo: You haven't answered my question.

The Architect: Quite right. Interesting. That was quicker than the others.

 

The Architect: The function of the One is now to return to the source, allowing a temporary dissemination of the code you carry, reinserting the prime program. After which you will be required to select from the matrix 23 individuals, 16 female, 7 male, to rebuild Zion. Failure to comply with this process will result in a cataclysmic system crash killing everyone connected to the matrix, which coupled with the extermination of Zion will ultimately result in the extinction of the entire human race.

Neo: You won't let it happen, you can't. You need human beings to survive.

 

The Architect: The first matrix I designed was quite naturally perfect. It was a work of art. Flawless. Sublime. A triumph only equaled by its monumental failure.

 

The Architect: It is interesting reading your reactions. Your five predecessors were, by design, based on a similar predication: a contingent affirmation that was meant to create a profound attachment to the rest of your species, facilitating the function of the One. While the others experienced this in a general way, your experience is far more specific. Vis-à-vis: love.

Neo: Trinity.

[the monitors show images of Trinity]

The Architect: Apropos, she entered the Matrix to save your life at the cost of her own.

Neo: No...

The Architect: Which brings us at last to the moment of truth, wherein the fundamental flaw is ultimately expressed, and the Anomaly revealed as both beginning... and end.
