http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/GoldenMean7010/OK, so I'm giving away the punchline before I tell the joke. As well as being politically conservative, I am an agnostic. This is an unusual mix, but it works for me. I am ready to discuss it with any believers, theist OR atheist, who want to. hourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/GoldenMean7010/306421As you have heard, history repeats itself if we do not learn its lessons. Well, here is one of the important lessons. This is a short chapter in the history of Christianity, about my favorite heretic. The British monk Pelagius risked his brilliant career to try to nudge the early Church in a more...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/GoldenMean7010/304493Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. -- Aldous Huxley (1894-1963) Facts do not come into existence because they are believed. -- Original to this work The knowledge of the world is only to be acquired in the world, and not in a closet. --Lord Philip Dormer Stanhope Chesterfield,...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/GoldenMean7010/226868One of my favorite psychics, Gordon Michael Scallion, has spoken. The next disaster will be in Mexico, and then the west coast of America. A previous prediction pinpoints the American disaster to be in the state of Washington, at Mt. Ranier. Let us see if this psychic is worth listening to. Here...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/GoldenMean7010/214135I have been following the career of psychic Gordon-Michael Scallion for several years. He is a fascinating man who claims to have become a psychic near age forty in 1979, when he had a psychic "awakening" which started with the temporary loss of his voice. I hadn't thought about him for a couple...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/GoldenMean7010/211053In my last post, my friend Captain Farris of the Jordanian Army had warned me that the Djinn (genies) are real, and they are not nice. I was fascinated, and insisted that Mousa tell me all he knew. He warmed to the task, and this is what he told me: In my village in Jordan there is a wizard. He...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/GoldenMean7010/208894The Djinn (genies) are the dirty little secret of the Muslim religion. I suppose the lore started as part of the animistic spirit-worship of the Arab people before Mohammed came along… but Mohammed gave it new life by including it in the Koran (Chapter xv:27 and Chapter lv:14), describing the...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/GoldenMean7010/199736Out of simple intellectual curiousity, I have read many “New Age” books dealing with our supposed existence as spirits, both during our Earthly lives in human bodies, and as pure spirits between those Earthly lives. The writers get their information mainly from 2 methods: psychic “channeling” of...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/GoldenMean7010/197803Here is an oddity that is fun to read. Check out www.johntitor.com. Seems there was this guy in Nov. of 2000 that got online (chat room or message board, not sure) claiming to be a time traveler from 2036. Has photos of his time travel device and there are some very interesting physics to read...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/GoldenMean7010/191801This is one of my poor attempts at philosophical humor, a dangerous and thankless endeavor, but occasionally I feel the urge. So be forewarned….. I just emerged victorious from the bedroom, fresh from a battle with a formidable foe, an unwanted bedfellow, which made me think of my last post here....http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/GoldenMean7010/190054Jesus said “by their fruits ye shall know them.” (Matthew 7:20) St. James said “Faith, if it hath not works, is dead.” (James 2:17) The fruits and the works are most important, not the particular tree the fruit comes from, nor the particular faith that motivated the works. For as James went on to...
