You're religions creation story

[bigdjr]

Well I'm a Catholic and I goto a Catholic highschool can someone share with me their religion's thoughts of how the world is created. This is for my religion class and I know most of you would say just google it but I don't know what I should type in. So as a last resort I've turned to you totse. I need your religion's beliefs (other then christianity) to tell me how it thinks the world was created.

I'll give you a little piece of info that is quite possibly the only true statement that can be made regarding religon.

Nobody fucking knows or has ever known who god is, what he is, or if he even exists. Anybody that claims/claimed to is/was lying. How the world was created will be up to debate until it is proven by scientific means. That is the truth, so write your paper on that and tell your lie spewing teacher to go to hell and run away from that brainwashing institute of mind-rape as fast as you can my son.

Google greek mythology and im sure there is at least one relgion that believes in that kind of stuff.

[Elephantitis Man]

We are all creations of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. The first day He made a mountain, trees, and a midgit. The next three days He spent making the rest of the universe. Then He spent three more days just resting.

God made mud.

God got lonesome.

So God said to some of the mud 'Sit up!'

'See all I've made,' said God, 'the hills, the sea, the sky, the stars.'

And I was some of the mud that got to get up and look around.

Lucky me, lucky mud.

I, mud, sat up and saw what a nice job God had done.

Nice going, God!

Nobody but You could have done it, God! I certainly couldn't have.

I feel very unimportant compared to you.

The only way I can feel the least bit important is to think of all the mud that didnt even get to sit up and look around.

I got so much, and most mud got so little.

Thank you for the honor!

Now mud lies down again and goes to sleep.

What memories for mud to have!

What intereting other kinds of sitting-up mud I have met!

I loved everything I saw.

Good night.

I will go to heaven now.

I can hardly wait...

To find out for certain what my wampeter was...

And who was in my karass...

And all the good things our karass did for you.

Amen.



Who knows what that is? i do, i do.

Big Bang for the win. But there are long, involved stories people write, so they can relate to it better. I like those stories.

Here we are, I found a site that gives a quick summary of Norse creation for you!

Norse mythology still has a small following in Iceland as well as some small communities of people in western countries who adopted it. (I can see why, it's just so awesome.)Its one of the more bizzare creation stories you'll come across.

If someone really wants to read it, I guess I can just copy it. It's not that good.

quote:In the beginning there was VOID, who had two daughters; one (the smaller) was that of BEING, named ERIS, and one (the larger) was of NON-BEING, named ANERIS. (To this day, the fundamental truth that Aneris is the larger is apparent to all who compare the great number of things that do not exist with the comparatively small number of things that do exist.)

Eris had been born pregnant, and after 55 years (Goddesses have an unusually long gestation period-- longer even than elephants), Her pregnancy bore the fruits of many things. These things were composed of the Five Basic Elements, SWEET, BOOM, PUNGENT, PRICKLE, and ORANGE. Aneris, however, had been created sterile. When she saw Eris enjoying Herself so greatly with all of the existent things She had borne, Aneris became jealous and finally one day she stole some existent things and changed them into non- existent things and claimed them as her own children. This deeply hurt Eris, who felt that Her sister was unjust (being so much larger anyway) to deny Her her small joy. And so She made herself swell again to bear more things. And She swore that no matter how many of her begotten that Aneris would steal, She would beget more. And, in return, Aneris swore that no matter how many existent things Eris brought forth, she would eventually find them and turn them into non-existent things for her own. (And to this day, things appear and disappear in this very manner.)

At first, the things brought forth by Eris were in a state of chaos and went in every which way, but by the by She began playing with them and ordered some of them just to see what would happen. Some pretty things arose from this play and for the next five zillion years She amused Herself by creating order. And so She grouped some things with others and some groups with others, and big groups with little groups, and all combinations until She had many grand schemes which delighted Her.

Engrossed in establishing order, She finally one day noticed disorder (previously not apparent because everything was chaos). There were many ways in which chaos was ordered and many ways in which it was not.

"Hah," She thought, "Here shall be a new game."

And She taught order and disorder to play with each other in contest games, and to take turns amusing each other. She named the side of disorder after Herself, "ERISTIC" because Being is anarchic. And then, in a mood of sympathy for Her lonely sister, She named the other side "ANERISTIC" which flattered Aneris and smoothed the friction a little that was between them.

Now all of this time, Void was somewhat disturbed. He felt unsatisfied for he had created only physical existence and physical non- existence, and had neglected the spiritual. As he contemplated this, a great Quiet was caused and he went into a state of Deep Sleep which lasted for 5 eras. At the end of this ordeal, he begat a brother to Eris and Aneris, that of SPIRITUALITY, who had no name at all.

When the sisters heard this, they both confronted Void and pleaded that he not forget them, his First Born. And so Void decreed thus:

That this brother, having no form, was to reside with Aneris in Non-Being and then to leave her and, so that he might play with order and disorder, reside with Eris in Being. But Eris became filled with sorrow when She heard this and then began to weep.

"Why are you despondent?" demanded Void, "Your new brother will have his share with you." "But Father, Aneris and I have been arguing, and she will take him from me when she discovers him, and cause him to return to Non- Being." "I see,"replied Void, "Then I decree the following:

"When your brother leaves the residence of Being, he shall not reside again in Non-Being, but shall return to Me, Void, from whence he came. You girls may bicker as you wish, but My son is your Brother and We are all of Myself."

And so it is that we, as men, do not exist until we do; and then it is that we play with our world of existent things, and order and disorder them, and so it shall be that non-existence shall take us back from existence and that nameless spirituality shall return to Void, like a tired child home from a very wild circus.

Psssttt... hey, Ra-deus, you do realize that your statement is self-referentially absurd, right?

And taken with your next statement, you call yourself a liar.
