hi folks

The human soul cannot be contained on any kind of technological device. People in today's society who are pushing evil, unnatural ideas like transhumanism (which would include things like attempting to clone yourself or upload your consciousness to a machine) are extremely deceptive and manipulative. Transhumanism is one of the worst evils we face in the world today, but our society has been being primed and programmed to accept it blindly by the rampant and aggressive proliferation of atheism, scientific materialism and moral relativism. The mechanics of modern society are finely tuned by those in power to brainwash people from the day they are born all the way until the day that they die, feeding people lies to make them believe that God isn't real, the soul doesn't exist, science can explain everything, and morality is relative. When people are tricked into believing that morality is some kind of relative or subjective entity, it becomes malleable and able to be transformed into whatever suits the objectives of those in power. One of the many reasons why mass communications have been meticulously molded to encourage the regression and degradation of Christian truth in society today is to prime people to blindly accept transhumanism as some kind of beneficial tool for humankind, some kind of key to an imaginary stage of evolution. All transhumanism will do will bring destruction to our civilization because it is one of the most unnatural acts that can occur, in the same class as atomic weaponry. As atomic weapons are an unnatural abomination that split some of the most funding building blocks of Creation, transhumanism attempts to separate human consciousness and sentience from the human soul which is even more unnatural to a greater degree than any of us truly understand. 

People need to open their eyes and understand that technological progress for the sake of progress is extremely dangerous, regressive, and harmful, and is used as an excuse to bring technology into our world that should never have existed in the first place. As soon as people attempt to dismiss the truth of God and the soul, there is a vacancy waiting to be filled by the devil and demonic ideas, the vast majority of which are wrapped in countless layers of deception so that the masses will be convinced they are participating in something good or positive when in truth they are doing the exact opposite.

So no, I would not ever allow myself or my loved ones to participate in human cloning or transhumanism of any kind. I will never accept the mark of the beast.

Revelation 13 - King James Version (KJV)

1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

² And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

³ And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

⁴ And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

⁵ And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

⁶ And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

⁷ And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

⁸ And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

⁹ If any man have an ear, let him hear.

¹⁰ He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

¹¹ And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

¹² And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

¹³ And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

¹⁴ And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

¹⁵ And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

¹⁶ And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

¹⁷ And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

¹⁸ Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Every characteristic has a spectrum of severity so it's not feasible to compare arrogance and hypocrisy in a complete sense. However, generally speaking, and putting aside the extremes found in both characteristics, in my opinion arrogance is more likely to be annoying while hypocrisy is more likely to be dangerous. Arrogance can be off-putting but not necessarily harmful, depending on the context and nature of the arrogance. However, hypocrisy is more often associated with deeper levels of dark motives and ideas, and is more often used for manipulation and subversion. Overall, I would say that hypocrisy has a higher likelihood of being a characteristic belonging to dangerous individuals.

I've been here since January 2013, which is somewhat old but not as old as some. I'm not active here anymore, but I love My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic more than ever. My interest in the show only increases more and more over the years. I love MLP Forums and its staff and community, so there's no negative reasons why I'm not active here anymore. I just work full-time now and my job drains me a lot so I don't have the time or energy to be active here anymore between that and all the other things I want to have time to do.

No, I love the show more than ever. I became a fan of the show back when season 1 hadn't yet finished airing. If I remember correctly, this was in the summer vacation before I began 9th grade. I graduated from high school several years ago now, and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic has been a precious part of my life the entire time. I will never stop loving the show and I never lose interest in it at all. I love it more every season and my interest only continues to grow more. 

There are many things I enjoy, participate in, play, read, and so on that doesn't involve MLP, so I'm not always heavily focused on the show for extended periods of time. However, that's just because I enjoy variety in what I do. I never even remotely lose interest in the show and I always make time for MLP.

I am absolutely, with zero doubts or reservations, a non denominational Christian, because I know for an absolute fact that Christianity is the one and only truth, and that accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior is the one and only path to salvation. I could go into great detail about why I feel this way, but I don't even know where to begin because my understanding of this truth comes from a summation of the entirety of my life experiences, but most particularly extremely important events that I have experienced within the past several years. Perhaps some time in the future I will write a blog series on here going into detail, but I am going to keep this post brief.

In addition, I am strongly against the idea of being a member of a Christian denomination such as Catholicism or Protestantism. I do not believe that denominations are biblical, because all they do is add man's dogma to the Word of the Holy Christian Bible, which is sinful and deceptive. For example, Catholicism adheres to many false, man-created doctrines that are not only non-biblical but satanic in ways that are subtle enough to deceive billions of people in the world today. 

Lastly, the King James Version of the Holy Christian Bible is the only translation I recognize as legitimate. Any other Bible translation, especially "modern" and "easy to read" translations have proven to stray deliberately and dangerously from the true Word of God, either outright omitting passages or completely changing their wording or meaning.

Revelation 22:18-19

¹⁸ For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

¹⁹ And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

There is so much more I can say on the subject, but one of the many reasons why I know for a fact that Christianity is the truth is that God teaches us the true Law, and the true Law does not benefit those in power, wealth, and authority in our human civilization. Countless false religions and ideologies, such as atheism, strongly benefit those in power: one example that only begins to scratch the surface would be how oversaturated the market is with media designed with atheists in mind, how much money is made off of such things, and who exactly is receiving the money. Follow the money and you will learn more about the nature of our civilization than most people will ever tell you.

The following chapter from Job touches on some of the themes I mentioned. The entire Bible, both Old and New Testament is extremely precious and essential, but in my personal experience the Book of Job is one of the precious books of the Holy Christian Bible that speaks to me the most strongly, for many reasons. I strongly recommend giving the entire Book of Job a thorough read.

Job 12

 And Job answered and said,

² No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.

³ But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?

⁴ I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.

⁵ He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.

⁶ The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.

⁷ But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:

⁸ Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.

⁹ Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this?

¹⁰ In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.

¹¹ Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?

¹² With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.

¹³ With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.

¹⁴ Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.

¹⁵ Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.

¹⁶ With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.

¹⁷ He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.

¹⁸ He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle.

¹⁹ He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.

²⁰ He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged.

²¹ He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty.

²² He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.

²³ He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again.

²⁴ He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.

²⁵ They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.

Socializing, leaning relationship skills, having fun and creating memories?

You can do all of those things without dating casually. For reasons I explained in my earlier post, dating casually is wrong and participates in a deliberate and calculated degradation of morality, spiritual and cultural values that form the framework for the true definition and purpose of marriage. Dating is not a game, and it should not be undertaken for the sole purpose of fun or entertainment. In regard to socializing, learning relationship skills, having fun and creating memories -- all of that can be done in a platonic context. So much of the skills and experience needed to ensure a healthy romantic relationship can be developed in platonic relationship, because the most deep and successful romantic relationship are ones in which the partners are not merely husband and wife, but best friends, too. There are specific aspects of romantic relationships that cannot be truly practiced in platonic ones, but the solution to this is not to date casually to develop skills in this. This is a flawed and modern mindset that lowers dating to the same level as developing skills for a job or a class in school. Learning how to overcome challenges in a romantic relationship is a journey that should only be undertaken by two people who are either in the dating phase, and therefore seriously committed to learning whether or not there is compatibility for a lifelong marriage, or in a marriage context where two people are committed to each other for life.

In short, socializing, learning relationship skills, having fun and creating memories can all be done in platonic friendships. The knowledge and growth that can only be found through a romantic relationship should only be undertaken by two people who are either seriously dedicated to figuring out if they want to marry each other, or two people who have decided to join together in eternity by marriage. There is no justification or reason for casual dating at any age.

I do not support the use of marijuana unless it is used in a genuine medical situation in which the marijuana is truly the most effective option for the individual suffering from medical problems.

A very common mindset today is that something is okay if it's not hurting anyone. I don't agree with that because I believe behaviors that people participate in that harm themselves should be taken seriously. Smoking weed for recreational purposes is harmful. It's by no means the worst drug out there, but that's not the point. The deeper problem at hand is the reliance on any kind of substance in order to produce a desired effect. No matter what particular substances and effects you substitute into that statement, the deeper problem remains. This covers anything from relying on several cups of coffee every morning to fully wake up, to not being able to make it through a few days without taking a hard drug. The human body has a tremendous range of adaptability, but this can be used in a detrimental way. If someone develops the habit of relying on any substance to produce any desired effect, whether that substance is anything from caffeine and sugar to hard drugs, the body will adapt to that. Any natural mechanism previously in place to operate with the relevant aspects of the mind or body will be sidelined in favor of the external substance, which is one part of the ensuing development of a reliance on that substance. 

I know I'm guilty of relying on caffeine in my day-to-day life. Most people rely on a substance of some kind. But ideally, we should never do this. I know this is difficult as this is an ideal I strive toward myself and struggle with all the time. Excessive caffeine consumption (which I am guilty of), use of marijuana (outside of medical applications), alcohol, tobacco, hard drugs -- all of these things harm the body and the mind on many levels, ranging from the specific harmful aspects of the substance(s) in question to the more basic system that people trap themselves in of relying on an external substance to produce a desired result. This system of reliance degrades the individual's own faculty to produce a desired result without relying on an external substance. This has a wide range of harmful effects, such as wasting time, producing anxiety when the substance is not available, and being a drain on financial resources.

We don't need any kind of drug to be awake, or fall asleep, or feel happy, or feel calm. All of these things can only be found in their true, natural, and genuine forms if people refuse to participate in the drug culture that destroys countless lives and undermines civilization.

No one should date unless they are ready for marriage, and they are dating with the intention of finding a potential husband or wife. That is what the true purpose of dating is supposed to be: figuring out whether or not someone is your soulmate and lifelong husband or wife. If two people are not compatible in this way then they discontinue dating and either remain friends or part ways entirely. If they are compatible in this way, then they progress to marriage over time when they are ready for that stage.

Children and teenagers should not be dating, and neither should people who think it's some kind of game. Dating is not a game, it's not entertainment, and it should not be done casually. Modern and hedonistic corruption teaches people that casual dating and casual sex is okay, but this could not be further from the truth. "Casual dating" only comes in one of two forms: dating among children or teenagers in which they're too young to really understand what they're doing, and dating among teenagers or adults in which the goal is some sort of casual sexual "satisfaction." It's natural and understandable that older children and teenagers will often be interested in dating as this is a part of growing through adolescence into adulthood. However, this behavior should not be supported or encouraged. The vast majority of older children and teenagers do not have the emotional maturity or life experience needed for a healthy relationship, and in most cases attempting dating at that age will only lead to conflict and sadness. People absolutely can and do learn from such situations, but it's far better to avoid them in the first place and wait on dating until you're an adult. There are plenty of opportunities to forge lifelong, powerful friendships when you're a child or a teenager -- this is very important and valuable, and there's nothing wrong with focusing on that and waiting to worry about romance until you're older. In regard to the other form of casual dating, that which solely has sexual goals, that is very wrong. Sex outside of marriage is a sin for a reason. In countless cases, having sex for the sole purpose of "fun" and "enjoyment" leads to evil things such as abortion, or one parent abandoning the family and leaving the other to raise the child alone. It also increases the likelihood of people having children when they're not spiritually, emotionally, mentally, or financially ready for a child, which in turn increases the chances of the child having a negative childhood, whether from lack of ability and wisdom on the parents part or outright abuse from the parents. Sex is supposed to be between a married man and woman, as an expression of love. Not as a "game," or "entertainment," but as an intimate and special event that should only occur in marriage between a man and a woman who truly love each other and are in all ways ready and willing to have a child in the event that occurs. This modern, hedonistic, and inverted culture of casual dating that is perpetuated by those who seek to annihilate true values and culture only leads to worse things such as casual sex outside of marriage. This is why I do not support casual dating.

In short, dating should not be done lightly or casually. Make acquaintances, forge deep friendships, get to know people you might potentially be interested in. But don't date until you're an adult and emotionally ready for it, and absolutely don't date casually. Dating should be reserved for those who want to find their lifelong husband or wife, and should never be done for any other reason. This is not a popular opinion, and there are many reasons why that is the case today, and those who understand the gravity of this matter must remain vigilant as we observe the corrupting vector of modern civilization.

Hi, welcome to the forums I hope you have a great time here.

It's very possible I'm doing it wrong since I haven't been here for awhile, but I got an error saying the name SCS was in use when I tried to change my display name back to that as it was my original username.

Thanks in advance for the help

Moral relativism tends to define people's perception of profanity these days, but I disagree. I also disagree that morality is relative. I used to use profanity a lot in the past, and I strongly regret it. It's not a good or constructive way to express yourself. At best, it's bland and empty, just riding the profanity bandwagon. At worst it's hateful, hurtful and disgusting.

Words considered profanity came to be considered as such for a reason. Whether they are scatalogical, sexually-oriented, crude, angry or hateful, they are just indecent, unnecessary, and uncreative. If you need profanity to emphasize your point, you're not writing or speaking creatively enough. Normalizing and furthermore promoting vulgar discourse comes out of the same corrupt ideologies that fuel things like much of modern "art," the same ideologies that try to sell the lies of moral relativism.

I'm not offended by profanity because I've heard it all and then some, but profanity is something I will never again enjoy, support, or partake in.

Sugar Cube is literally the best. She's the most amazing person I've ever met and one of the people who makes MLP Forums what it is. MLP Forums just wouldn't be MLP Forums without her here. Saying I appreciate her would be the understatement of the millennia. 

And happy birthday to her as well

I feel exhausted right now. I should go to sleep but I need to finish up some homework I forgot about.

Evil garbage I never should have listened to. I strongly regret doing so and a lot of the kind of "music" I used to listen to, including the "song" I originally had referenced in this post, was extremely offensive, horrible, vulgar, violent, and awful in countless ways, and had a severely negative impact on me and my happiness. I'm truly sorry for ever promoting such things here or anywhere. I was in a very dark place back then, and I've changed a ton, for the better.

I pack in my backpack a book, a teddy bear, a seagull, a spork, a horse, a teleporter gun, a chair, a violin, a croissant, my intentions, a smartphone, and dank memes
