It seems that Dionysus, in all his wisdom, has fallen to the old assumption of "turn the other cheek."
Jesus didn't say "turn the other cheek." He said, unless I am very much mistaken, "If someone strikes you on your right cheek, offer them your left."
"Turn the left cheek."
Quite different than "turn the other cheek."

Meh, if Dion's doing it, I might as well too.

Back when Jesus said this, everyone was right handed. If you weren't people thought you were a freak. So everyone slapped people with their right hand. If person A slaps person B on his right cheek with his right hand, unless A twists his arm around, he'll use the back of his hand to hit B. This is the manner in which A would hit a slave, a child, or, in that era, a woman. An inferior. If A thought of B as an equal (you wouldn't hit a superior anyway) he would use the palm of his hand to strike him. And if he was using his right hand, providing he didn't twist his arm around, he would end up striking B on his left cheek.
Moral of the story: If someone treats you like an inferior, (provided, of course, you aren't actually their inferior, like, say, your boss) employing your humility, not your aggression, express to them that you are an equal.

I think. That's how I interpret it, anyway.

Another question:

How about agnostics?

Q.) Dionysus, what is your opinion on agnostics?

A.) There are some who would say that I am an agnostic, since my beliefs do not yet fall into any religious system. I am open to all ideas, possibilities, and suggestions. Do not think that I have all the answers, because with every answer comes more questions. Honestly, in my own opinion, I believe it is better to be an agnostic than to conform to any rituals or religious beliefs. It is better to be open minded and follow the righteous path, than it is to be unthoughtful and blind in your ways. Narrow mindedness leads to stupidity, racism, sexism, biast opinions, cultural fanatics, and hatefulness towards others. In other words, it leads to self destruction, which is the evil god's goal on this planet. It is better to love and share with one another, than it is to be a false teacher in faith. Do not think that religion or lack thereof is the right way to heaven. It is better to remain a virgin, and not be married to any religion at all. Loving kindness is all that is required of you now. Open your hearts, and your minds will follow. Do not let these statements divert your truth from one another.

Look, there's an elephant on that trampoline... ^_^

What is your opinion of anthros? Will we develop the sequencing and recumbent-DNA alteration techniques to create anthros within the next 20 years or so?

Q.) Dionysus, are you suggesting that we are all inferior to you?

A.) No, not at all, there are many who are superior to me. I speak in parables most of the time, using the words "you are" and "now" quite often. That is just the way I speak, I am actually quite modest and came from humble origins. I am not rich, or powerful. I am not overly strong or intelligent. I am just a common man, spreading a message, which I have recieved from the signs of the stars and planets.

Q.) Dionysus, will we be able to create anthros within the next 20 years?

A.) No, not in my life time. I predict, however, that over the course of time there will be a natural evolution, uninspired by human intervention. I predict that many animals will elvolve with bigger brains, capable of mimicking human behaviors. Old species will go extinct, and new ones will arrive through natural selection. Primates will become more human, if the jungles and rain forests continue to be destroyed. Dogs will no longer be trained to stand up on two legs, mammels will naturally evolve and begin to stand up on their own, but they will still walk on four legs. Birds will develop scales and begin to swim underwater, while fish develop legs and begin to walk on land. These are events which already have happened in the past, and will happen again in the future. I predict we will not ever re-create any species which has gone extinct, but we will come very close to creating similar species in the future. I think in 5,000,000 years there will be another Ice Age, which will have a greater effect on things. The vast Amazon Rainforest will shrink and become open to grasslands. North America will become almost a desert, Europe will be frozen, while the Mediterranean Sea will dry up completely as Europe and Africa collide to become one continent. Australia will collide with Asia, forming vast mountains, while Africa will split in two and create new island continents. Uakari's will evolve to become the smartest most dangerous monkeys on earth. Antarctica will drift towards the equator, causing it to become a tropical rainforest habitat. Hamsters will be the last remaining mammels, developing giant insect-like eyes 100 million years from now. Bugs and insects will grow larger, to about the size of a normal house cat. As far as the existence of werewolves, and bigfoots, and all paranormal anthros, I believe they already exist from ancient times and are nearing extinction as we speak. Cloning of species has already begun, but major developments will be kept under wraps.

We did not ask you what you are suggesting. What we did was ask you to change your tone of writing. You are giving the impression, by saying this, whether or not you intend it, that you are, in fact, superior to us.

And yet, Dionysus, in all his wisdom, cannot spell "extinction" properly.

Are you genuinely serious in this kind of rambling? Or is this some kind of attempt at either gaining attention or play-acting? I'm all for you not babbling and ranting like a superiority-complex afflicted twit on the GTLeague forum, really. The less you act like Nonpareil the better. But the craziness you're fleshing these silly answers out with makes it hard to discern whether you genuinely believe what you're writing or whether you're doing this for no other reason than to screw around.

Heheh... ^_^

I think reactions like this are why he does it.

That's why I'd do it.

When I start making comparisons to myself, you can start raising your eyebrows.

Agreed.

I would like to ask Dionysus a few questions.

1) Do you believe in Necromancy?

2) If one were to summon a demon for the good of mankind would that person burn in hell?

3) If our world leaders were possessed by demons would the world be better or worse?

4) Do you believe that Wiccan Christians cannot truly exist.

5) What's before God?

6) Is it possible that psychic healing abilities can work without a central belief in one God or gods and that this belief in a higher power unleashes are psychic abilities because we as humans are too primitive to unleash them without believing in a deity?

7) What does enlightenment feel like?

I wanna know what you know. I'm sorry if these questions offend you in any way, it isn't my intention that they would anger you. I'm just a curious teen, I wanna believe in something, but I got to know the answers first. Thanks for taking your time to read this

I also have a couple of questions to test your powers.

1.) What is my name, first name and middle name, no last name?

2.) When will the world end?

3.) Does magic exist?

4.) Does paranormal activity exist?

Q.) Dionysus, do you believe in Necromancy?

A.) Yes.

Q.) Dionysus, if one were to summon a demon for the good of mankind would that person burn in hell?

A.) I do not see how summoning any demon could benefit mankind, since demons are trickers and deceivers. They are fallen angels, evil gods, or djinn who claim they can help mankind and grant our wishes, but usually this results in some sort of mind game. Sure, they will perform one good deed, but only before causing three equally harmful deeds afterwards. Demons do not intend to help humans in any way, shape, or form. You would not burn in hell for summoning a demon, if you did not know this beforehand. But now that you have tasted my fruit and are aware of the possibilities, you are no longer innocent and will be accepting the consequences of your actions if you summon demons. I relate this topic to negative karma, and the principle of the threefold re-action.

Q.) Dionysus, if our world leaders were possessed by demons would the world be better or worse?

A.) I believe some of our world leaders are already possessed by demons. Even the churches and temples are possessed by evil spirits, who lead people astray. As I mentioned before, there are gods who wish to help us, and there are gods who wish to enslave us. There are even a few powerful gods who wish to destroy us altogether. You tell me, do you think the world will be better or worse without demons?

Q.) Dionysus, do you believe that Wiccan Christians cannot truly exist?

A.) I am a Wiccan Christian.

Q.) Dionysus, what existed before God?

A.) I believe God always existed, even in a state of non-existence. There is a messianic God, who lives on earth amongst us in physical human form. This is the lowest form of God, who comes and goes with every age that passes. I call this messianic God the Christ, but this is just a physical avatar which has many names. Second above that is the spiritual avatar, the holy ghost of God who cannot be seen, except by those who are priveleged enough. This is the spiritual form of God, who we will see in heaven after we pass away. Just as God's ghost can be ressurrected or reincarnated on earth in physical form, we too might be able to perform this feat. But that is a complicated matter, which requires a whole thread topic in itself. I do not fully understand the spiritual world, I have not yet been there myself. I just know that there will be much to learn in the new world beyond this one once we die, since it will be an entirely new experience for most of us. There are many gods in this spiritual realm, which we will eventually come to recognize. But even above these spiritual deities, there is yet another God whom I believe and worship. This is the Most High God, which I have spoken earlier about. This God is neither a physical nor spiritual entity, but something even beyond our understanding. God Most High has no resemblence to anything we humans have, or can relate to. God Most High is without form, entirely without beginning nor end. This is the God in whom I preach, the one that has people saying "Dionysus is monotheistic". I cannot explain the Most High God in words, for that is impossible. This is the God who created the "Big Bang", and all the other gods were created by this nameless, formless, Most High God, including the evil gods and helpful gods alike. The best way for me to describe the Most High God is through silence, and meditation.

Q.) Dionysus, is it possible that psychic healing abilities can work without a central belief in one God or gods and that this belief in a higher power unleashes our psychic abilities because we as humans are too primitive to unleash them without believing in a deity?

A.) It is possible to perform psychic healing abilities without believing in deities of any kind. But, it is not possible to perform psychic healing abilities without the existence of the Most High God, who created such things. It is like unto the first question I answered in this thread, when someone asked me if I believed in the existence of aliens. Aliens exist, whether I believe in them or not. That is the same as saying the Most High God exists, whether I believe in that or not. So yes, you can perform psychic healing abilities without believing in anything but yourself. There have been healers in the past who performed miracles, without ever asserting their beliefs in any kind of God or gods. But even these powers come from something more divine.

Q.) Dionysus, what does enlightenment feel like?

A.) Confusion and understanding, all rolled into one. It is like anger, saddness, joy, hatred, love, excitement, calmness, jealousy, pride, humility, and wisdom all combined together. It is like an orgasm of the mind, and an awakening of the spirit. It is like a renewed energy, a power which is trying to leave the body because there is not enough room for it to grow. There are different stages of enlightement, and I believe I am in the lowest stage right now. Pleasure and pain is no longer a factor, there is a complete overhaul of senses to the brain which, like a computer that has been over filled, causes a complete emotional shut down. What you are left with then is no feeling or desire whatsoever, just contentment.

Q.) Dionysus, what is my first and middle name?

A.) I don't know.

Q.) Dionysus, when will the world end?

A.) Human life on earth will end most certainly by 1,000,000 AD when gamma rays absorbed by the earth's atmosphere reduce the ozone concentration, resulting in the extinction of most life forms. If by some chance humans survive the radiation effects, then we will face extinction in 600,000,000 AD when the increase in solar luminosity from our sun causes earth's oceans to evaporate, leaving it uninhabitable. If by some chance humans survive the greatest drought of all times, then for a fact the earth will be destroyed in 5,000,000,000 AD when the sun becomes a red giant and scorches everything around it. At that time, the earth will be swallowed up by the sun, along with some of the other nearest planets, and the world will be no more. But, there is still a chance that humans will survive the end of the world.

Q.) Dionysus, does magic exist?

A.) Yes.

Q.) Dionysus, does paranormal activity exist?

A.) Yes.

Dionysus, how come you do not know my name? If you can see the future, surely you would know that I will tell it to you in my next post, and could then tell me now what I show you in the future.

Dionysus, what sort of magic exists in the world, and how can we control it?

Dionysus, what sort of paranormal activity occurs in the world, and is it good or bad?

Are you an idiot, or did you just not read my last post? Consider the revealing of my name moved to the next post Dionysus.

Dionysus, what answer do you get when you take the Magic: The Gathering "What Color Are You?" quiz?

Go back and read what I said in the past...

Q.) Dionysus, can you give us another prediction?

A.) Yes, very soon I will be insulted and ridiculed for my teachings and beliefs. In trying to make peace, I will make war. In trying to bring harmony, I will bring chaos. In trying to make sense, I will cause confusion. In trying to bring light, I will bring darkness. In trying to give people hope, I will cause them to doubt. But all these things must come to pass, since it is God's will for it to happen. I assure you though, that hearts and minds will be opened. Spirits will be lifted, and eventually my message will get past the devil's tests.

Q.) Dionysus, can you interpret people's dreams?

A.) I am an astrologer and a humble time keeper. I am not a psychic nor a soothsayer. I do not claim to be the Christ, nor do I claim to be clairvoyant. I do not claim that my predictions are 100% accurate, meaning they are not etched in stone. By merely opening my heart and sharing these predictions, means there is a chance in the future that these events might change. In fact, that is the very reason for making these predictions. When there is a knowledge of the future, there is a possibility of changing events right now as they happen. But perhaps I can make a guess, and say that dreams are effected by the subconscious. If you are content in your heart and soul, you will sleep peacefully and wake up refreshed. If you are not content, then this might cause you to have nightmares. Be content, and let your conscience be free. You are God's children.

Another thing I hear people say, is that Satanism teaches "revenge instead of turning the other cheek". I say to you now, that the Christ will not turn his cheek on Satan, but will make war on his angels and cast that old devil into hell. The biggest problem with Satanists is that they do not believe that God exists. But the Most High God has already forgiven them, because it is not their fault.

It's strange, I took 3 tests and got 3 different readings...

Question. What would happen if Russia were to be initiated with a war against the USA and China [ally of russia] also comes along against America?

Q.) Dionysus, what would happen if Russia and China waged war on America?

A.) America would fall, inspired by Russia's technology and China's sheer numbers. I predict, however, that many other countries would get involved in the mix, which would cause a devistating World War effecting much of the earth's ecosystem. Hawaii will become the centre of great political struggles. You can expect to see Russia's new hydrogen weapons and explosives, while America's new UFO-like aircraft will soar into action. Sattelite censorship will become the very first targeted act of space warfare. Many top secret documents will be revealed to the world. In the end, nobody will really win, because all will suffer in the long run. Degenerate Americans will flock to England and Australia, while Germany and Austria wait for the right moment to get involved. Asia will be mowed over as Japan gains support from the Russians and Chinese, whereas most of Northern Europe finds itself in chaos as neighboring countries fight for control of one another. New borders will be set, meaning new maps in the future.
