A test
- Thread starter Cyperium

cyperium.
Our ability to achieve anything is only limited by our capabilities. All that testing achieves is the identification of the limitations. The illusion that your god does not push you past your limitations is that your god is self-defined and you choose to define it so that it does not set standards you cannot achieve.
From my perspective I do not see any limitations only obstacles to overcome through self-improvement, ingenuity, creativity, and continuous evolution. Belief in a god concept discourages such an approach and instead encourages defeatest complacency.
The real problem that theists have is that they tend to see humans as unchanging creations of their god. The phrase "we are made in his image", is a real limiting factor. What reality indicates is that we are simply at this stage in our evolution and we are most certainly going to change in the future and probably beyond all recognition.
And of course gods do not exist.

What the fuck?
Will someone write, clearly, what the purpose of this thread is?

Hey, long time no see Rappaccini 
The purpose? If anyone can tell me that, I would be much wiser...

I think cyperium is refering to god's test for man, and is so called righteous path.
if you can believe that, I think it's written in that bible thing. something about following the teaching's of christ.
but he really need's to clarify himself.

I'dd let cyerium answer that, after all this is a relgious thread is it not.
Yeah, I feel the absence of a god here. The initial question is only about humans in my opinion.
Ok, I tell you what this thread is about
In the Bible it is suggested that the tests that we go through is never greater than our ability to make it, it's never higher than our understanding.
From what I can understand this means the test that God put us through.
I don't think that we are going to hell if we don't make the test, cause it is what it is, a test.
I guess something for us to learn from.
This thread is taking that quote and making a little test out of it.
I don't know fully the purpouse of this thread, it was a test from my side too, to see what you would answer, just a curiousity. Since this just came to me, I didn't "make" the test, I just realized that it could be done and I did it.
Since it just came to me and I had no assumptions on what you would answer, I thought that it would be a nice experiment.
This is in the religious forum because it is what it is, a quote from the Bible (allthough it may not be correct word to word), I think it's very important for people to understand that the test isn't greater than our understanding, so that we won't look "beyond our selves" to find the answer to it. God wants us to be humble so that we can appreciate all that He has given us.
For you that hasn't solved my test, here's a clue:
It is hidden, the key is finding it or the ability to make it.
The test isn't to find some special meaning of the quote, the test is merely to find the test.
Dreamwalker had a quote that said "The rest is silence", he was the first one to solve the test. That quote...was the dot over the i. The interesting thing is that I don't think he made the quote for the purpouse of this test, but that's up to him to answer though. Now he has changed his quote, so in the clue from the first page where it said "look at the quote" and "From this point up it's all clues" you have to understand that his quote was "The rest is silence". It was a answer to Enigma'07.

No, my user title existed before the test, but yes, it was fitting somehow.
(is...?)Alpha said:
I'll explain it, you gotta find "it!".
it!.
You must find "it!" using external methods.
The ability reflects the method used to hide "it!".
Surely something seems wrong with the quote, "it!" is missing!
Once you've seen "it!" you've made the test!

The test was sooooo simple that few passed it -- because it was toooooo simple.
That's another clue.
Alpha, I'm disappointed in you. Of all the people, you should be able to do such self-referential tests, you know like "The next sentence is true. The previous sentence is false."
Oh, as for "The rest is silence": Hamlet's last words. Hamlet is multiuseful.
