THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS FREE WILL

another medieval concoction. my basic beef is that a medieval church has created all these myths and a 21st Century populace of believers who reject that medieval church still believes in all the myths that that medieval church has created. call it all a graven image if you will -- something that...

SODOM AND GOMORRAH -- ACTUAL CITIES?

History Channel again -- the search for Sodom and Gomorrah was the subject. Did Lot and his wife and daughters actually exist and were there cities named Sodom and Gomorrah that collapsed in a rain of fire and brimstone? Don't know about Lot and his family.

Christian fundamentalists welcome global warming!!!

Why? because if is not man-made, then to them the effects will be acts of God, the expression of the wrath of God on sinful mankind. think about it -- they are probably jumping with glee because according to them the disasters to come presage the Second Coming.

THE PASSOVER PLOT -- YESHUA (JESUS) POSSIBLY DID NOT DIE AT ALL

Look at the accounts of the crucifixion of Yeshua in the Gospels. His crucifixion does not fit the usual crucifixion. Bodies were usually left to hang on the pieces of wood for days, to rot and be eaten by carrion birds. The crucified took a lot longer to die than Yeshua did. He was taken down from...

WE ALL WANT TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE

IS THERE MEANING TO IT?

we loo, for something beyond our limited sphere to give meaning to something of which we cannot make heads or tails too many times. we lieve and move and breathe and exist and have to interact with others and we wonder about it all. our fellow creatures are mute to us, so I would have to say that...

WHEN JESUS SAID BE PERFECT ACTUALLY HE SAID EXPECTING PERFECTON IS IMMATURE

I just made "green eggs and ham" this morning with my granddaughter, Kooka's niece. Have you ever worked with a 6 year old on projects? Have you ever noticed how they want things soooooo perfect? Then have you ever worked with someone in their early 20's -- have yo noticed how they expect a measure... Sign in to see full entry.
