A BULL MARKET is what makes everyone their gold. Your investments, retirement portfolios, 401k's, pensions, etc are all invested in the stockmarket.
This could be considered worshipping the Golden Calf.
Ah, but Stalkingwolf. Is it the Word of Gord, that has caused this disagreement, between the "SECTS/CULTS" of Christianity, or is it the "SECTS/CULTS" and the terms applied in a Generalized form, called RELIGION that is at fault for these divisions
Well, your alive. He made you in the image of God and the Angels.

First of the name is Pickle, spell it right please.
Secondly i was not offended that he stood up for his beliefs, i commend that. The problem i had is that he attacked mine in the process. I believe everyone has the right to chose what they believe as long as they don't harm or put down others for there beliefs.
He also did it using parts of a book written by a MAN maybe on behalf of god, but still a man who could have lied. Then he used his beliefs as a way of putting mine down, again there beliefs not facts, that's why its called faith.
I also agree organised religion has done allot to damage Christianity in the modern world, which is a shame. Just because i don't believe in it doesn't mean i don't respect it, as should you with mine.
I just don't believe your God has anymore credibility then Asar, Aset or Anpw (that's the real name of Osiris, Isis and Anubis, not the ones the Greco-Romans gave them when they 'borrowed' from the religion). Please don't come back with the Satan thing again as that is just a belief of yours and what you have interpreted some words to mean, doesn't make it right.

Sure, no problem. Your god is Ahura Mazda, who you are ashamed of. His real name is false god Baal who is Satan the deceiver who is Lucifer who appears as an angel of light.
Now run back to your master and tell him he is a defeated foe. Tell him it is written that the blood of lamb has overcome him.

How about telling me about your avatar. I see that you have changed avatars.
You seemed to be afraid to tell me about your last avatar. I asked, you never answered.
I gotta say, I do sometimes get amused when everything flys over your head.

Anyways remember when the Israelites began to worship the golden calf, Gold Bull, Molech, see the progression?
This could be considered worshipping the Golden Calf.

Don't be an idiot. For once, at least.

Not afraid. Why should I do research for you?
OK - I will answer your question - it was the Tree of Life (and you have the nerve to call other members of ATS "Ignorant")!

the avatar thing? That's his basis for my supposedly 'baal/satan' worship! Because I have a yin yang for my avatar that says 'truth is binary.' He thinks it is satanic because I said that balance is something that is a principle of the Creator.
So he has judged me with his ever-so-wise fundamentalism!
And his name is 'Sun Matrix!'
He is pretty funny--too bad he thinks he's serious!
Apparently you've dropped the ball, your statements are baseless. I can only assume, at this point, that you don't try to support your statements because you can't.
Where is the progression? The israelites at the mountain made a gold calf idol. This is probably a part of their old religion. The monotheists amoung them tried to supress it. Moloch is probably derived from a similar term that means variably 'king/god/lord/angel/heavenly being'. Why call it a progression, is what I am asking? The bull gods in the bible were just as likely an old god worshipped by the israelites, who's worship was suppresed by the monotheists.
I was only wondering if you were (ignorant about your last Avatar).

Sun Matrix - I am far from Ignorant of Symbols that I have studied for such a long - oh wait a minute - there you go again! Making judgements about people that you don't know nothing about!!!
I am an Intellectual, Mystical, Spiritual person. You have no idea about what fields (nor for how long) I have studied & practiced. In other words you know nothing about me!
I would in addition call myself an Occultist - but then you would probably blanket label me a "Satanist" as well & I am in no mood for your Slanderous Behavior!
