Yes, this is Zuul. Remember the conversation from Ghostbusters:

Venkman: "Zuuly you old nutbag! I need to speak to Dana."
Dana: "There is no Dana, only Zuul!"

There is one God. He's recognized differently by different cultures. The Buddhists have discovered the mechanics of the soul, and will get in to heaven [or not if they so choose] for that reason.

It's arrogant to look at anyone and say they're going to hell, or they're damned. I don't know that, I don't have the full story, and I've been commanded not to [Matthew 7:1]. The Old Testament requires that I sacrifice a bull, too. Except for the occasional cow parts that happen to stumble onto my grill, I don't.

Hate to nitpcik, but I always considered the hellhounds to be minions of Zuul. I figured that when Zuul decided to show up as 80's Rockstar Zuul, she left Dana's body and turned her into a hell-puppy. Additionally, I would have to watch the movie again, but that screencap may well be one of Rick Moranis as hellhound.

Was the 80s rocker a chick or a guy? I always wondered that.

Yes, he/she was Gozer (Gozar?) The Stay Puft guy wasn't really named anything, I think and Zuul was the dog, Dana turned into.

All this is proof that anyone that survived the 80's has little or no memory of it.

That could be considered beneficial by some.

Since the thread is already hijacked...

Gozer was the diety (The Traveler)
Zuul was one of the dogs.
Vinz was the other. (Moranis)
Zuul and Vinz were the gatekeeper and keykeeper, minions of Gozer.
Stay-Puft was Gozer.

script.

I'm not sure which I feel worse about, the fact that I helped highack this thread so badly or the fact that I spent the time looking that all up.

As long as you did have to look it up.... and didn't actually know all that off the top of your head... there's probably still hope.

You said it best.

In other words I don't believe anyone truly knows, nor are we supposed to.....we'll find out soon enough I guess.

Prayer is used to talk to God. We pray, and one way we are answered is with the yearning we feel.

When Jesus prayed to God, he called Him 'daddy', very informally and familiar, because the Christian God is a personal God that is that close to us. If your idea of God is some remote Creator that doesn't interact with the universe, or our tiny corner of it, then that's not my idea of what the Christian view of God is.

Just because you choose not to hear Him doesn't mean he's not speaking to you right now!

God is a mystery, so yes, noone can truly know God. However, there are aspects of God that can be understood by human minds.

A friend of mine has the giant electric penguin from that line of stupid decorations.

All I can think of is "Scott of the Antarctic."

DO YOU BELIEVE IN SIGNS?

Tonight while i was driving home, i stopped at a traffic light behind a small black hyundai which had the following vanity tag affixed to it's posterior:

I don't know about signs...or god...or the force...but since I can't decide to believe in any of it before I see proof, I choose to believe in myself. I know that sounds really weird, or dorky, but what I really mean is my mind. I think we all have some crazy big potential that most of us can't realize because of our self-imposed limitations. It sucks. But yeah, I think it is possible to do things like manipulate objects with our minds or communicate with whatever we have (energy?) Yeah, I know, it sounds really flakey, but that is something I can buy better than the idea that some god is hanging over us and guiding our lives.

I guess I fail to really describe what I am saying, but it seems right that we as people have something deeper than what we realize. (Yet another half-baked theory, courtesy of case.)

Then again, maybe I belong on medication.
