Q.) Dionysus, do you believe that aliens exist?

A.) Aliens exist, whether I believe that or not. Wherever there is water in the universe, there is life. Earth is not the only planet in the universe which contains evidence of life. Earth is not even the only planet in our own solar system which contains evidence of life. If we were all Martians, and we sent a spaceship to Earth in search of life, we would have found evidence of single-cell organisms which lived in the water 3.5-Billion years ago. All plants, fish, reptiles, amphibians, mammels, birds and insects evolved from these single-cell organisms. Therefore, all living things in the universe can be considered aliens, in one form or another. Now if you're asking me if I believe in aliens that resemble Homo Sapiens, with two arms and two legs, with large eyes and giant brains, then I would have to say yes. All you have to do to believe me is look into a mirror, and see for yourself.

Q.) Dionysus, do you believe that God created Man, or that Man created God?

A.) I don't believe the "Big Bang" created itself, if that's what you're asking. Someone, or something, obviously created the universe and put everything in order. Human Beings certainly did not create God.

Q.) Dionysus, are you a God?

A.) No.

Q.) Dionysus, can you predict the future?

A.) I can read the stars in the sky, and make assumptions based on the movements of the planets. My predictions have always been accurate, but there is no guarantee that anything I say will be true until the future reveals itself. I did not write the future, I merely studied God's work, and did my best to interpret it for mankind.

Q.) Dionysus, do you believe in Jesus?

A.) Jesus existed, whether I believe in him or not. If you're asking me, do I believe in Christ, then the answer is yes. I believe that there is a Messiah, who comes in many different forms to sit with many different nations. I believe the Christ is eternal, and exists beyond human understanding. I believe the Christ is without race, without gender, without language, without religion, and without beginning or end. So if you're asking me if I think Jesus is the Christ, then I would answer by saying that I think Jesus was an avatar of the Christ in the west, and the Buddha in the east. I support this answer by passages from Matthew 2:1-12, in reference to the 3 magi or astrologers who I believe to be 3 kings from another land. Casper of Tarsus, the youngest of the 3 magi, was light-skinned I believe. Casper's offering of gold symbolizes that Jesus was the savior of all Caucasian nations. Melchoir of Persia, who was middle aged, was bronze-skinned I believe. Melchoir's offer of myrhh symbolizes that Jesus was the savior of all Asian nations. Balthasar of Ethiopia, who was the eldest of the 3 magi, was dark-skinned I believe. Balthasar's offering of frankincense symbolizes that Jesus was the savior of all African nations. Now all three of them spoke Greek, which was a common language for all nations at that time. Christ is a Greek word, meaning the 'annointed one' so to speak. But when they returned to their homelands, I believe the 3 magi would've spoke in their native languages, thus over time Jesus would've become a Buddha or 'enlightened one' in the east. Vaishnavans in Hindu religion recognize Krishna as an avatar of the formless supreme deity. Krishna is often depicted as a baby, or as a young prince giving direction and guidance. There is an etymological similarity between the Sanskrit word "Krishna" and the Greek word "Christos", as you can clearly see. I am not a religious person, by the way, so I think I should clarify this point. I do not consider myself a Buddhist, or a Christian, or anything else. I am just a humble astrologist, and a time keeper.

Q.) Dionysus, when do you suspect Jesus Christ will return?

A.) Jesus will never return, but the Christ will never leave. I support my earlier statements using the Gospel of John, chapter 21 verse 4 of the scriptures. Jesus' disciples did not recognize him, because it was not Jesus who stood on the shore. Christ assumes many forms, and Jesus was just one of those forms. I revert you again to the Gospel of John, chapter 20 verse 14 of the scriptures. Note that all of these disciples knew Jesus and followed him in life, but did not recognize him after his death. That is because it was not Jesus who appeared to them, but Christ in a different form. Christ never left, therefore Christ will not return, Christ is always and forever here with us.

Q.) Dionysus, are you the Christ?

A.) No.

Q.) Dionysus, who is the Christ?

A.) There have been many avatars of Christ on earth since the Bible was written, though not all of them were as popular as Jesus, and not all of them were martyrs. Christ is also not always so peaceful as Jesus, and may at times be called by the gods to wage wars on earth. To support this statement I revert you to Matthew 10:34, Luke 12:49, and Luke 22:36 which supports what I said earlier. Christ has appeared at least once every generation in human form, so there have been at least 1000 avatars of Christ since Jesus died. Christ may be African, Asian, Caucasian, Arabic, or whatever ethnicity over the centuries. Christ may also appear female, not just male, at times. Christ can appear as a wealthy ruler, or as a common street thug. I support this statement with passages from Revelations 3:3 and Matthew 24:43-44, in reference to Christ as a thief. Revelation 16:15, and 2 Peter 3:10 also support these statements. Watch for the signs, and be alert, for Christ's message is always the same.

Q.) Dionysus, aren't your teachings sacreligious?

A.) I am not religious at all, so I guess they are. But, how can one truly be considered sacreligious if he claims no hold to any religion? I did not come to you as a perfect Christian, but as a believer in Christ, and an astrologer who can explain Christ's teachings. I speak not only to Christians, but to all people who seek wisdom in understanding. I know my teachings may seem different, but the new age is not the same as the old, and a new method is required if we are to understand Christ's teachings. Look at Matthew 28:19, Hebrews 7:12, and John 3:16 to see my point. Jesus was a threat to religion, not a supporter of it. Jesus was not a Christian, being the Christ himself at one point, but was merely the victim of a religious turmoil. Jesus was a prophet who did what no other prophet from any other religion has done. He died for our sins.

Q.) Dionysus, isn't there only one God?

A.) There are many gods, but not all of them are listed in the Bible for your understanding. Some of the other gods mentioned in the Bible include Nisroch the Assyrian eagle-headed deity, Adrammelech the Sumerian god of fire, Baal the Canaanite lord of flies, Hermes the Greek messenger akin to Mercury, and others whose names I will not mention. All of the angels are like unto gods, especially Moloch and Repham the star gods. I believe actually that all the gods are angels, though some of them are high angels while others are fallen. Not all of the gods are beneficial to mankind, as the Bible warns us many times. In fact, Satan himself is refered to in 2 Corinthians 4:4 as the god of this world, or the god of this age, who leads people astray. Satan is also called the prince of air in Ephesians 2:2, which is the atmosphere which surrounds the whole earth and everything in it. Satan's greatest tool is disbelief, which he uses to blind people from the truth. That is why people have stopped believing in Christ, they regard the scriptures as purely mythological nowadays because they have been led astray by the devil, the god of this world. I worship many gods like the wise king Solomon, but there is one god I place above them all. This is the supreme god, whose name I cannot say. But really, all the gods can be considered personalities or spirits of this one supreme god, who I have likened to all the stars and planets in heaven. Solomon knew this, that is why he wrote Proverbs 16:4.

Q.) Dionysus, how does Christianity relate to Buddhism and other religions?

A.) Christ's teachings do not just concern Christians, but all people. Matthew 28:19 supports this claim, while Matt 23:37-40 backs it up. Some people may think that Jesus was refering only to the Jewish prophets, but Mark 9:40 asserts the truth even further. Jesus was not merely relating to the Jews, but to all nations. Every nation has its own prophets, its own customs and religious beliefs. Jesus was not teaching his disciples to be narrow minded, but to be open minded and accepting of other cultures who share the same ideas and teachings. I have heard Christian fanatics say there will only be 144,000 people who enter the kingdom of heaven, but those are only counted from the Jewish nation. Revelation 7:9 states clearly that there will be a great multitude in heaven that nobody can number, from every nation, people and language. This includes the Gentile nations, even those of different faiths.

Q.) Dionysus, why do Christians only believe in one God?

A.) Because they have failed to understand. They have failed to believe in Christ's fulfillment of the scriptures, and the teachings Jesus passed down to us. Genesis 34:14 states quite accurately that there are many gods, but that there is one god who is higher than the rest. Obviously, this Jehovah is not the same god Christians are meant to worship. The true god is Hashem, which in Hebrew means "The Name" which cannot be said. God's name cannot be said because that would suggest the supreme deity has a name, a form, an image, or something even remotely understandable to humans. We are warned not to make images of the supreme god, because again, that would suggest that the highest heavenly existence has a face or shape. Hashem in its purest spiritual existence has no race, no gender, no color, no mold, no classification of human or animal, but exists beyond the human consciousness in a dimension we have yet to understand. We will never enter that dimension while we are yet still alive, we must pass over into the spiritual realm first. But in the mean time, the supreme god appears to us in many other ways, shapes and forms to help us understand better. One of the names we have given to Hashem is El-Elyon, which signifies God Most High who is king of heaven and earth's ocean. Another form we have of God is through the angels, who are all avatars and makings of the supreme deity. All things actually, meaning every single visible, physical, invisible, and metaphysical thing we encounter is some form of Hashem, or the unspeakable name. How then do you give Hashem a proper name? How do you draw Hashem, mold Hashem, write Hashem, or even say Hashem without destroying Hashem's pureness? We cannot understand Hashem, which is why Hashem assumes a form and image understandable to us. We call this the Christ, or god who walks with humans as a human in the flesh. Exodus 3:14 says God appeared to Moses as "I AM THAT I AM", which we now have simplified to Yahweh, a Hebrew word meaning the same thing. We could not understand this imageless creator, so instead we needed Christ to help us see and understand. Acts 13:38-39 explains how Christ's laws invalidate Moses' laws. Heb 7:3 explains this better, while Ecc 3:19-20 explains how even the humans and animals have one spirit. Exodus 32:19 states clearly that Moses broke the ten commandments, quite literally. This symbolic action plays a deep meaning in the greater course of events to come. Jesus compares religion to the blind leading the blind in Matt 15:14, warning his disciples not to be so narrow minded in their thoughts. Matt 5:20 warns us again not to be like the scribes and Pharisees, who were stuck on the laws of Moses and set in their ways. In order to reach the kingdom of heaven, you have to discard your religious differences. Matt 19:7-9 shows how Jesus compares religious fanaticism to marraige, and acceptance of other religions to divorce. He warns people not to forsake their true beliefs, or to go sleeping around with other ideas which aren't right in their own minds. It is better to be singled out, than to be married to one faith or another. Luke 11:40-49 sheds more light on this understanding, comparing the church to a rabble of hypocrites who have failed to understand all things made.

Q.) Dionysus, what are Christ's teachings?

A.) I thought you'd never ask. The entire Bible is useless, I tell you. There are only a few scriptures which need to be read on a daily basis, and the rest of the Bible you can throw away. Matt 22:37-40 is important, for it sums up all the ten commandments into two. Remember what I said earlier, Moses broke the tablets so they no longer apply to Christ's teachings. 1 Sam 15:22 says that the lord demands obediance to his words, not sacrifice. That is because Jesus fulfilled the scripture, he was the word, and the sacrifice. All are sinners, there are no saints but Christ alone. All have sinned, and fall short of the glory of heaven. Romans 6:7 says however that the dead are freed from sin. That is because Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice, the one who paid ahead of time for our sins. All we are required to do now is have faith in his sacrifice, and believe it to be so, while trying our hardest to follow Christ's teachings. That is how you enter the kingdom of heaven, not by actions but by faith alone. Matt 5:38-44 again shows how Jesus' new laws have made the laws of Moses invalid, through his fulfillment of the scriptures. We are to be following a new law now, not the old laws. Heb 7:12 says that when there is a change in priesthood, there is a change in law, and that is what you are seeing now. Jesus was from a different priesthood than Moses, and I am from a different priesthood than Jesus, but though the law changes from one priesthood to the next, Christ's teachings remain the same always and forever. Christ's law is the Golden Rule, the only rule that never changes.

Q.) Dionysus, what is the Golden Rule and how does it apply to other religions?

A.) Mahabharata 5:1517 explains this rule for those who practice Brahmanism, the Udana-Varga 5:18 explains this rule for Buddhists, the Analects 15:23 explains this rule for Confucianists, the T'ai Shang Kan Ying P'ien explains this rule for Taoists, the Dadistan-i-dinik 94:5 explains this rule for Zoroastrians, and the Sunnah explains this rule for Muslims, called the golden rule. Obviously this rule exists in all these different religious texts, from all different nations and languages, because it is Christ's rule. Shabbat 31A of Judaism states; "What is hateful to you, do not to your fellowman. That is the entire law, the rest is commentary". Notice that nowhere in Shabbat 31A does it say you have to follow the ten commandments? Notice what it says about the rest of the Bible, that the rest is just commentary? Mattew 7:12 of Christianity states; "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets". Jesus Christ even says in his own words, that the Golden Rule is the law and the prophets. This means that the Golden Rule is all that truly stays unchanging, while the rest of the Bible is filled with confusion and division amongst the scribes.

Q.) Dionysus, if that's true then why does the Bible forbid magic and astrology?

A.) Solomon did not lose his place in the heavens because of magic and astrology, and not even because he worshipped other gods. Solomon's problem was that he was not faithful to his wife, or the one supreme god who is higher than all the rest of them. Solomon was like me in that he acknowledged many gods, but Solomon had many wives whereas I only have one. Solomon had a Sidonian wife, an Ethiopian wife, a Persian wife, a Jewish wife, and he worshipped the gods of all his wives, becoming perverted in his religious beliefs and eventually forgetting that there is one god who out ranks them all. Solomon could not build a temple for this god, or even utter the god's name, for it was too pure to be given a name in any language. Solomon started relying too heavily on his astrologers and magicians, forgetting who gave them the true gift of prophesy in the first place. Gen 1:14-15 tells us exactly who gave us the gift of astrology. Luke 21:25-27 also makes it clear that Christ intended for us to use astrology. Solomon himself wrote about the benefits of learning astrology in Ecclesiastes 3:1-8.

Q.) Dionysus, do you really give accurate predictions concerning the future?

A.) Try me.

Q.) Dionysus, what are your predictions for next year?

A.) Nothing unusual, I don't assume. I believe on January 26th, 2009 we will experience the annual solar eclipse. Oh, yes, the longest solar eclipse during the history of the 21st century will occur next year. Mark your calendars, this will take place on July 22nd, 2009 at 2:35 universal time. This solar eclipse will last a total of six minutes and thirty nine seconds. Other than that, I do not predict anything catastrophic.

Q.) Dionysus, what are your predictions for 2012 AD?

A.) The world population will reach over seven billion. Eros will pass the earth, but will not make impact. You will see an asteroid in the sky on January 21st, 2012 if you watch closely. There will be another solar eclipse on May 20th, which falls on a sunday. Venus will pass between the earth and the sun on June 6th, 2012, but I cannot tell you who will be nominated the president of the United States at this time. The sun will reverse its magnetic poles, and this might have an impact on the human consciousness.

Q.) Dionysus, will the planets be in alignment in 2012 AD?

A.) No, that is a myth stirred up by 'End Day' extremists. The planets have not been lined up straightly since 561 BC, and they will not line up again until the year 2854 AD.

Q.) Dionysus, can you tell us anything about 2015 AD?

A.) Yes, the cicada species will emerge and flourish, as they do every seven years or so. I predict that on July 1st, 2015 our Earth will be in alignment with Venus and Jupiter, but only temporarily. At this time, pay attention to the signs in heaven, and be cautious towards world events.

Q.) Dionysus, can you see to the year 2020 AD?

A.) No, I cannot see anything. I can only make a guess, and tell you what I think will happen. I think in the year 2020 there will be three moon landings. Russia will land there first, and establish a mining camp on the moon where they will extract helium-3 for their new fusion program. America and China will arrive later, possibly to help with the project. Other top secretive things will occur in space at this time, which all three governments will keep under wraps.

Q.) Dionysus, what is to happen in the year 2028 AD?

A.) Another asteroid will pass the earth on October 26th, 2028 but will not make impact. The world population will reach over eight billion people, but world peace will not yet be established. By this time, most nations will have completely stopped nuclear testing and will have resorted to cleaner fuels such as solar power energy. Other than that, the world will seem pretty much like it is now, with a few minor advancements in technology.

Q.) Dionysus, what will happen in the year 2030 AD?

A.) I predict that the Japanese will establish a moon colony, planting a lunar base on the moon. At around the same time in 2030 AD, the Europeans will put an astronaut on Mars.

Q.) Dionysus, what will happen in 2040 AD?

A.) I predict that if things continue the way they are now, the Arctic icecaps will be completely melted and most of the polar bear species will be extinct, along with many other Arctic dwelling creatures. Mark your calendars and be prepared for September 8th, 2040 at exactly 7:30 PM when Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and the crescent moon will all be clustered well to the east of the earth's sun in near perfect alignment.

Q.) Dionysus, what will happen in 2060 AD?

A.) Nothing significant will happen in 2060 AD, apart from little wars around the world, which occur during every generation. What is significant is on July 28th, 2061 when the popular Haley's comet will reach its closest point to the sun. This will be an omen to mankind, as over-population becomes a threat to our existence. I predict the world population to reach over nine billion by 2075 AD.

Q.) Dionysus, will an asteroid ever hit the Earth?

A.) Not during my time, no, an asteroid will never hit the earth. But, hundreds of meteorites hit the earth every single day without ever being noticed. If you are asking me if an asteroid will ever hit the earth with catastrophic results, then maybe. I predict on March 16th, 2880 AD that an asteroid might hit the earth and cause a major impact on human civilization. There is only 1/300th of a chance that this will happen, but there's still that chance.

Q.) Dionysus, what do you predict for the end of our century?

A.) I predict a devistating World War will take place before 2100 AD, which will cost billions of lives. It will not be the end of human civilization, however, nor the coming of the rapture. We may even live to see this World War, if we are lucky. I predict all sorts of new advances in medicine, or dare I say, realizations in old world medicines. Vitamin C will become increasingly important in the future, while many animals of today will evolve into aliens of tomorrow. Spiders will grow wings and fly, while other bugs will inter-mate and create hybrid broods of insects. Squid will walk on land, and chimpanzees will evolve into smarter primates with higher thinking capabilities. Birds will flock to areas where they normally do not migrate, caused by an upset in the enviroment. Beetles will become carnivorous as opposed to herbivorous, and Homo Sapien Sapiens will be proven no longer the most intelligent life forms on earth. Freedom and unity will cease to exist, along with democracy and patriotism. The winter will be longer and the summer will be shorter, but only by minutes. I also predict another presidential assassination covered up by the United States government. Look for the signs, when disease and famine becomes a threat. Those who appear to be sick, may in fact be poisoned, and do not know it. I also predict a lack of religious knowledge, and spiritual insight in future generations. Digital typing will completely replace paper writing, while the world enters an age of agriculture and mother earth experiments. I predict the United States will enter into a dark age, but after a period of long hard troubles it will enter back into a new golden age of enlightenment.

Q.) Dionysus, when will text-based RPG come to an end?

A.) Thirty years from now, I predict the Roleplay Gateway community to become a ghost forum. The chat client will change, while most gamers will no longer be interested in text-based RPGs since the coming of better graphic video games will be cheaper and more affordable. The chat room will be empty 99% of the time, with the exception of a few diehard RPers who lack the creative writing skills and RPG charisma expressed by text-based RPers of the 1990's. I predict most other RPG communities will share a similar fate, with textual combat becoming a forgotten past-time by the year 2050 AD. Chat-based RPG will completely degenerate into senseless OOC babel, and computer technology discussions which are mostly business related. There will be an internal dispute within the GT League Forums, caused by someone other than myself, which will cause many on-line fighters to stop fighting. Metawerx will become a popular haven once again, but only for a short while. New internet restrictions will limit the RPG possibilities, while new software is released which nullifies all previous internet softwares. Companies will merge, and clients will change, as many servers are no longer FREE non-pay websites. New books will be written and published concerning the old traditional 'Golden Era' of text-based RPG taking place between 1995-2005, but all the rest is history. I predict a total 100% extinction of text-based internet RPG open chats & forums by the year 2108 AD.

*Claps*

...
Hey, what else was I supposed to do?
D:<
...

*Gets shot*


Yea... but just a question.

Was this done as a joke or in all serious-ness?
o.O

Wow, that was silly.

Also:

Spiders will grow wings and fly, while other bugs will inter-mate and create hybrid broods of insects. Squid will walk on land, and chimpanzees will evolve into smarter primates with higher thinking capabilities. Birds will flock to areas where they normally do not migrate, caused by an upset in the enviroment. Beetles will become carnivorous as opposed to herbivorous, and Homo Sapien Sapiens will be proven no longer the most intelligent life forms on earth.

That is an impossibility within a thousand years, nevermind a hundred. Evolution doesn't work like that.

Oh, and many beetles are already carnivorous.


If it was a joke, though, good parody on astrological nonsense found in way too many tabloids.

Whether I am joking, or whether I am being serious...

Whether these events are possible, or impossible...

I will leave that up for you to decide...

But only time will tell...

Dionysus wrote:Whether I am joking, or whether I am being serious...

So it's a meaningless statement? That's the problem with new age nostradamus wannabes, they never wanna own up to their predictions.

Has anyone but me realized that Satan is very fond of making rules? At least, an American's Satan is. Look at what we value. Look at Patrick Henry, with his "Give me liberty, or give me death." Freedom (i.e., not rules) is a huge thing that people, at least, Americans, think is our God-given right. God-given, mind. "All men are created equal." Not "born equal," oh no. "Created." God gave us free will. God also gave us commandments. Not very aptly named, I believe. All except that one about keeping the Sabbath holy and the one about honoring Mom and Pop start with "Thou shalt not." He was telling us what not to do. So, they're more like guidelines than actual rules. He told us to keep the Sabbath holy, and to honor Mom and Pop. Other than that, he said do what you like, unless it's on this list of "thou shalt not"s.
And he started the whole thing out with "I am God."
And that was it.
But then guess what people did? God got "that's impossible"s and "but how am I supposed to do that?"s. So he sent Jesus, and said be like this guy.
Guess what?
They killed Jesus. Jesus was setting an example. Yet, if we all do what Jesus did, we kinda lose that liberty I mentioned earlier.
This confuses me.
I think I'll go pray about it.

But now I have my own questions.

Dionysus, is it possible to alter what you have predicted?
Dionysus, have you ever read Isaac Isamov's (sp?) Foundation series?
Dionysus, how old are you?

Q.) Dionysus, is it important to keep holy the Sabbath?

A.) Every day is a holy day to me. What makes the Sabbath any more sacred and important than any other day? Will the Most High God not hear your prayers on a monday, or a tuesday? God works every day of the week, never taking a single day off. Jesus himself worked to perform miracles on a Sabbath day, and was condemned for it. I believe people should keep every day holy, and never forget to acknowledge the creator and provider of everything. Every day the earth rotates, and every day we survive, should be counted as a miracle. Do not waste your time with senseless routines and meaningless prayers which will not get you anywhere closer to heaven. Just be thankful for your blankets, and your meals, and remember to love your maker who provided all things for you. Love your families, and do not blame anyone but the devil for your misfortunes.

Q.) Dionysus, did God give us free will?

A.) We have free will, so yes. There are angels or gods who intended for us to be free willed, but there are also angels or gods who wish to enslave us. Remember, it was our original purpose to serve them. We had no free will in the beginning, we were created as slaves. But eventually we were made free, and the angels appointed us as kings over the earth. The god of this earth is not too happy about that, because humans were given power over him. So the devil tries to manipulate human beings into slaving ourselves, and destroying our peace on earth. Satan is an avatar, like Christ, who exists amongst us in physical human form. Prophets call Satan the antichrist, and there have been many antichrists who try to rule the world and destroy us. Do not be fooled into believing that our creator is to blame for our misfortunes. The devil has always tried to lead us away from the heavens, and away from truth, that Satan is the cause of suffering. Satan is the arresting officer and the judge, but Christ is the savior who does not judge us for our sins, because Christ knows Satan is to blame for our sins. We humans are sheep amidst the wolves, but Christ is the forgiver of sin and the counselor who teaches us how to take control of our lives and cast out demons. By far the greatest tool Satan ever invented was disbelief. Hatred is another one of Satan's tools, perhaps more powerful than disbelief. Know your enemies, and you will be able to conquer them individually. Jesus did not become the Christ in order to lead us into bondage, he became the Christ in order to spread God's free will. We are commanded to live in peace, and love one another. How difficult is that to do? And yet Satan continues to lead the world astray. Do not think that the Christ has come here to save us from our sufferings, the Christ has only come to forgive us of our sins so that we may go to heaven. The only way to get this gift of heaven is to accept it. Christ was not sent here to rule over the world as a king, but merely to guide human beings and show us how to rule over ourselves without suffering. Satan is the king of this world, but not the king of your soul, unless you give up your free spirit and lose faith in Christ's offering. Do not give up your free will, and Christ's free gift to you.

Q.) Dionysus, are your statements meaningless?

A.) To some people, no. To others, yes.

Q.) Dionysus, who asked you all these questions?

A.) Many people have come to me with questions. Not all of them have understood the answers.

Q.) Dionysus, how can we tell whether or not your predictions are serious?

A.) Some of my predictions mark events which will happen far into the future, long after my life is over. I suggest marking down some of my predictions which will take place in your life time, and see if I was right or wrong as the future unfolds. Most of my predictions are not too far into the future, I will be 100 years old in 2084 if I live that long. I suppose the real question here is not whether or not I take my predictions seriously, but whether or not you will. Those who follow the signs, will pay close attention to my words. Those who do not, will not learn the truth when the time comes.

Q.) Dionysus, is it possible to alter what you have predicted?

A.) Good question, I thought you'd never ask. The answer is yes, of course. Once we have a clear understanding of the future, we can also work towards changing that future for the better. Actually, that is the reason I have for making such predictions in the first place. I must warn you though, God's plan does not change, ever. So some of these future events might change, but others will occur regardless of human intervention.

Q.) Dionysus, have you ever read Isaac Isamov's (sp?) Foundation series?

A.) No, but now that you've mentioned it, I might look into it.

Q.) Dionysus, how old are you?

A.) I have been alive in human physical form for over twenty four years. In spiritual form, I am ageless and immortal. I have been an active text-based roleplayer and on-line fighter for over a decade, so multiply each RPG year by four virtual years and I will be over fourty years old in RPG time. That time-line is based on the old Geocities belief that every year in real-time is equal to about four virtual years in RPG time.

Q.) Dionysus, are you retarded?

A.) Not mentally, physically, or spiritually.

Dionysus, I've been having these dreams lately. They are all different, but inveriably deal with odd and frightening post apocolyptic type situations, that everyone finds normal for some reason. And for some reason, they always include these tentacle beast that I know should be terrifying, and seems utterly terrifying, but for some reason I feel almost mystified by its presence. Thats not to say I don't run like hell, but despite this, I am fascinated by its existence. What do these dreams mean?

You've said yourself that you are only 24. Even if such enlightenment could be achieved, it would take more than 24 years to reach it, and perhaps many more decades to understand and use that power.

I have to disagree. If he believes in reincarnation, then he's probably getting reincarnated.

Personally, I believe that there is an all powerful God, but that there is no set afterlife. I believe that whatever you believe will happen to you will happen to you. So if you believe in reincarnation, you get reincarnated. If you believe in judgment, you get judged. If you believe in nothing, you get nothing, and your soul ceases to exist.

However, by that standpoint, I really don't care what other people think on the matter. Sorry.

Wow, so suicide bombers and terrorists actually end up in heaven with 72 virgins? Yeah, if theres a God he would DEFINITELY give that to the people who blew up the twin towers. What a great guy! We should TOTALLY worship him, seriously!

Amazing...but no matter what u say it seems as if your views are a bit monotheistic. As a firm Shinto we believe that there are two main Gods; Izanagi and Izanami who created the land, life, and of course death. But I believe u at one point when u stated the golden rule...but it is my belief that the golden rule negates what u said about faith getting us in the heaven(which ever u believe in) for if we do good on earth then good treatment in heaven should be our reward regardless of our faith. Also "free will" was no given to us by a deity or any other force of nature...I believe that free will is somethings all things have regardless of belief or lifestyle. After all a slave does not have to listen to his/her master, yes he/she may be beaten if not killed or abandoned but he/she does not have to do it. Whether or not his/her will is broken in time does not matter the choice is there not to do anything. Your prediction lean more into scientific theory and what u said about the population probably wont come true...due to the fact that the earth cannot handle it. its hard to get the resources now imagine with double the population! But this is my opinion.

Meh...
It doesn't count if you're crazy. Also, why do you care if someone who isn't you ends up in Heaven with 72 virgins?

Because I don't believe that its right, or that terrorists deserve, to end up in heaven with 72 beautiful and unspoiled maidens to love and fuck for all of eternity.

Dionysus, why do you post this ? And why do you describe this as "Dionysus Predicts the Future", when most of your initial, and indeed most of the whole of your material, is dedicated to your belief, and not to divination of future events.

Of course, most of your astrological "predictions" have been made by the pros behind those stats, i.e: astrologers and other scientists who devote their time to this kind of stuff. They predict future events, not the future itself.

To describe future itself, would be describing everything, and I do mean everything, that has not yet happened; something which is unfathomable to the human mind, or indeed any mind.

You're just describing future events that have already been predicted by other people, o therefore, if we folow your reasonning, are seers too, just as you claim yourself to be.

Now, as for your views themselves, they're your views, you are entitled to believe what you may. Now, as for basing religion on holy texts written and compiled by other people is somewhat absurd to me. You see, nobody ever chooses their religion and belief like that, they get whichever one is accepted by the government of the place taught to them at an early age, or the parents teach their beliefs to their children, or the person chooses what's most appealing to them, the rarest of all.

Why, I ask, do we base our views, idealogies, patheons, etc ... on things that other people have said. I mean, take the Mormon religion for a start; all their writings, which is what most religions base themselves on, were compiled, and supposedly translated by one man alone. His tale and recollections are the only real proof of what he claims, therefore showing that to my mind, it can't really be trusted.

I have to say, the original purpose of religion was a noble one: lead people along a path that they liked, and to help them. However, like all things, it got out of hand, and we have had crusades, assassinations, and most recently, extremist attacks (for example, to quote Gabriel_Whist, the Twin Towers.)

Then, if we take the Church in Europe, they went corrupt with the money they raked in. And of course, each religion claims to be the only true one, the monotheistic ones that is, and that their god is better, and that slaughtering the unbelievers is the solution. I'm generalising, but that's the long and short of it.

Now, of course, everyone is allowed to believe what they will regarding religion and stuff, and are more than entitled to follow what other people have told them. But that's stretching trust a little too far IMO.

In any case, I won't quote you on anything you said and claimed Dionysus, happy for you that you believe yourself a seer, and can predict the future, but I'll base myself on stuff that can be proved. The future is completely uncertain, which is why one shouldn't make any assumptions.

Now science, and of course the debate of science vs. religion, is an interesting thing. With science, we prove that what is provable, is true, the rest is uncertain, and that until it is proved, nothing can be asserted. And of course, each individual must, rather than follow written teachings and words on paper, follow what they believe to be right.

While extremists, for example, believe that the slaughter of innocents is just, that's probably because they've been taught something, from an early age, which has altered their perception per se, tomake them think that. They base not their ideals on their own judgement, but on what they've been taught to believe in. And while they may say that they believe what they are doing is right, I think their view is veiled by the religion that was hammered so deeply into their head.

Anyway, I can't be arsed to rant and debate any further in this post, so ask away if you must.

PS: Gabriel, why bring sex and virgins into this argument ?

Selothi wrote:PS: Gabriel, why bring sex and virgins into this argument ?

Because he's a man. Why else would anyone bring sex and virgins into anything?

Love...

Faith...

Hatred is not Love...

Disbelief is not Faith...

These two qualities are required in order to reach the Kingdom of Heaven...

Please do not fight with one another over my words, for that is not my intention. I do not know who you believe I am, or if you even believe what I believe. But there is some confusion, I can see, about my words. Have no doubts, for everything has been said to you from the beginning. Learn and be wise, let your heart be your guide, and open your minds to the spiritual world of peace and understanding.

Q.) Dionysus, can you give us a clear near future prediction?

A.) The hurricane will reach winds of 70 miles per hour, causing floods and rain. Nobody will be killed in its wake, this time around. Not a single life will be taken by this event. It will hit Florida's pan-handle in two days. I predict the eye of the storm will pass directly through Charlotte county. There will be a news report tuesday, tomorrow, saying that all Lee county schools will be closed. There will be manditory evacuations in many cities. They will re-open shortly afterwards. Again, nobody will be killed by the storm. I am not clairvoyant, but mark my words and have faith.

Q.) Dionysus, how will we know when the avatar has returned?

A.) We enter a new age every 2000 years. Currently, we are in the Aquarian Age, which will last until 4000 AD. You can expect the avatar to return at the end of the Aquarian Age.

Q.) Dionysus, are you a monotheist?

A.) No, I am a henotheist.

Q.) Dionysus, when is the next full moon?

A.) September 15th, 2008 on a monday. Next year in September, it will fall on a friday.

Q.) Dionysus, when is the next leap year?

A.) Man created leap years, so that is harder to determine. For those follow our regular calendar, this year 2008 will be the next leap year. There will not be another one until 2012.

Q.) Dionysus, what is the perfect time according to your astrological measures?

A.) Man's time will never be perfect, because tidal accelleration from the sun and moon slows the rotation of the earth, making every day a little bit longer. The earth currently rotates around the sun once every 365.2429 days. That is the closest I can get to your answer. I am actually working on trying to invent a more accurate calendar in the future, which totally eliminates the leap year and the equinox altogether.

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.

Q.) Dionysus, do your beliefs co-exist with Shinto religion?

A.) Certainly, my beliefs co-exist with all religions. There is a type of spirit in Shinto called hitorigami, and the Most High God that I speak to you of is one such spirit.

Q.) Dionysus, who is the avatar of Christ in Buddhism?

A.) Maitreya.

Q.) Dionysus, who is the avatar of Christ in Hinduism?

A.) Krishna.

Q.) Dionysus, who is the avatar of Christ in Zoroastrianism?

A.) Mithra.

Q.) Dionysus, what about Taoists and Atheists who do not believe in God?

A.) God is the affirmation of the Tao in Taoism, and the affirmation of non-existence in Atheism.

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.

I think people would appreciate you more if you didn't use a tone of voice (OK, OK, tone of writing, word choice) that so closely resembles that of an impatient adult trying to explain to a rather dull witted kindergartener that one plus one equals two.

(If you answer this saying in so many words "I'm not using that tone of voice" then I will come out of this computer screen and shred you with my flaming chainsaw. Or, at least, I'll want to.)

Also, another question.

Dionysus, did you get your name from the Greeks, or the other way around?
OK, OK, kidding...

Dionysus, what is your opinion of Satan and Satanism?

And speaking of Satan, Devil is spelled with a capital D.

Q.) Dionysus, how can you be enlightened at only 24-years-old?

A.) There are children who are younger than me, who are more enlightened than I am.

Q.) Dionysus, what is the significance of your name?

A.) Dionysus was not a Greek, but a foreigner who came to Greece from the east. He brought wine with him, and war elephants from India, so the Greeks created a cult of followers who worshipped him as the god of wine and splender. They gave him a Greek name, Dionysus, as they always give Greek names to the people they meet and the places they've been. I have been asked over 100 times since I came to this RPG community, why do I use this name? It is subliminal messaging, I am not the god himself. Dionysus acquired a group of followers, who are said to be under his spell. He also acquired many enemies, who sought to destroy his cult. It is said that Dionysus had an offering of wine, which is sometimes said to drive people into a frenzy. The wine that I have to offer are the words in which I speak. Dionysus is also called the twice-borne, since he is said to have been killed and reborn. Again it is used here as sumbliminal messaging, since any RPG character can be killed through textual combat, but the person behind the character is like a god in the RPG world who will not die, and is yet, reborn through another RPG character. The name Dionysus then is a reflection of my RPG philosophy.

Q.) Dionysus, what is your opinion of Satan and Satanism?

A.) God created both good and evil, male and female, plant and animal. God created humans and angels, therefore God created Satan, and Satan created rituals. The angels who came down to earth from heaven, they divided our languages and seperated our nations to create conflicts and confusion amongst us. But there are still those who are unswayed, and able to look beyond such conflicts and confusions. Jesus, when he was Christ, told us to love our enemies and forgive those who persecute us. Therefore, a good Christian can acknowledge Satanists with respect and loving kindness. Such is my example here, since I know that Satanism is against the harming of animals for any reason other than food and clothing. Indeed, this law co-exists with Christian beliefs. Satanism also teaches that "if it harms no undeserving person, do what you will". Is this not the same Golden Rule I mentioned before, which is inherent in all religions? Most people would say there is a difference between Christianity and Satanism, but I say to you now that there is not. They are one and the same religion, like any other religion, by any other name. It is God's law, and will not be changed ever, not by humans and not by the angels who wish to enslave humans. The laws that Satanists follow, are not from Satan, they are from God Most High, who created Satan in his own image. Do not be led astray by such false teachers, who come down as the antichrist, spreading their lies and claiming to be gods. 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.
