Between this thread and the one that Tribo has started, I don't see any spokes persons for the holy spirit coming forward to answer his simple question. JB That is just a lame excuse. JB No! Its true! They have the fluff in their collective navels to organise. Then they have Rev & Mrs Jones coming up for tea - nothing but the best china for Mrs J. (the woman knows no shame) So, Im sorry, no time for answering dumb questions like "Why does half of Africa have no food, when the majority of the US & Europe has a surplus?" |

What is a petty kingdom? Here is an objective Egyptian culture progressive timeline. If the flood took place at 2348BC, that would have meant ALL human life destroyed correct, including the Egyptians? I don’t want to put words into your mouth of course. Earliest evidence of settled human habitation in the Nile delta 3800 BC The beginnings of Nile culture 3100-2650 BC Archaic Period 3100 BC Earliest evidence of hieroglyphic writingin Egypt 3100 BC The legendary king, Menes, unites the two kingdoms of Egypt 3000 BC Earliest evidence of sun-worship in Egypt 2700-1640 BC Pyramid-building period; largest pyramids built for Cheops, Chephren, and Mycerinus 2550-2490 BC Building of the pyramid tombs for Khufu (Cheops) and Khephren (Chephren), the largest of the Egyptian pyramids 2650-2134 BC Old Kingdom; beginning of the Third Dynasty ~2630 BC Netcherike-Djoser, pharoah who built the the "Step" pyramid 2134-2040 BC Collapse of the Sixth Dynasty and the Old Kingdom; beginning of the First Intermediate Period 2040-1640 BC Middle Kingdom 1700 BC Earliest evidence of diagnostic medicine in Egypt 1640-1550 BC Collapse of the Middle Kingdom (1640 BC; beginning of the Second Intermediate Period 1550-1070 BC New Kingdom; temple-building period in Egypt; the Temple of Karnak built and added to all through the New Kingdom period ~1500 BC Earliest examples of the Book of the Dead 1380 BC Building of the Temple of Luxor by Amenhotep III 1367-1350 BC Reign of Amenhotep IV (Akhenaton), who abandoned Egyptian polytheism for a monotheistic religion 1347-1339 BC Reign of Tutankhamon 1182-1151 BC Reign of Ramses III; supposed period of Hebrew migration out of Egypt to Palestine 1070-712 BC Collapse of New Kingdom (1070 BC; Third Intermediate Period 750 BC Conquest of Egypt by Kush under Kashta and then Piankhy 712-332 BC Late period ~670 BC Formation of a new Ku****e kingdom at Meroë 332 BC Invasion of Egypt by Alexander the Great 332 BC-395 AD Hellenistic-Roman Period 332-31 BC Ptolemaic Egypt 285-246 BC Reign of Ptolemy II Philadelphus, who commissioned the Greek translation of the Hebrew Torah, the Septuagint ~170 BC Aristobolus, the first Jewish Greek philosopher, presents an explanation of Mosaic scripture to Ptolemy VI Philometor 51-30 BC Reign of Cleopatra VII, last of the Ptolemaic monarchs of Egypt 31 BC Battle of Actium; Cleopatra VII and Mark Antony defeated by Augustus Caesar 30 BC-395 AD Conquest of Egypt by Augustus Caesar; Roman period 66 AD Jewish riots against Rome in Egypt 395 AD Roman Empire divided into two empires; Egypt controlled by Byzantium 395-641 AD Byzantine period; Egyptian hieroglyphic writing falls out of use and soon becomes unintelligible 641 AD Conquest of Egypt by the Muslim Arabs; Egypt becomes Islamic 1822 AD Jean François Champollion deciphers the system of Egyptian hieroglyphic writing from the Rosetta Stone Well that's pretty conclusive. The world-wide flood happened in a small area and then was "talked-up" Something similar to the World Series only having two countries in (j/k) |

I'm jealous. I bet it was amazing. 
One of the advantages of being British ... lol It is. I am form that area anyway and I regularly used to drive past it on the way home from London. Early in the morning (5am) in the summer, it feels very strange driving past it back again, when the sun is rising. The road runs parallel to the monument and then veers off. Unfortunately the Solstices ruin the site, as there are lots of people who want to do some very strange things there. The traffic queues, even at 5am are enormous!! |

Having lived near Stonehenge (in the UK) and visited many times during my life, I can honestly say there is energy there that you can palpably feel!
Unfortunately they have fenced it off from the general public, but when I was a child, I climbed on the stones and there is one that is incredibly much warmer than the others! An amazing place. |

There could never be a nativity play on JSH.
Where would we find 3 wise men and a virgin?

I would currently kill for a bacon sandwich, so I suppose pork is dangerous to health!

But did you once ever say to yourself, "self it wasn't God it was man." ever once. People are stupid and prejudice and it makes me gag. I have seen a lot of injustice in my life. How women are treated in other countries, in the name of God......It's not God it's man. A woman in Italy if caught by her husband with another man can be shot right on the spot. But the husband can do the same with no consequences. Women all over in third world countries are killed because they shame the family in God's name.....It's not God.......People are to blame just like in your case. It had nothing to do with God and all to do with people and their stupidity. So, I guess you dont like the subjugation of women in the bible then. There is a whole heap of sexism there. Where did you read that about Italy? I would be very interested in that. |

*COUGH* Have you seen how much the current administration is spending? Did you happen to notice the size of the federal deficit? What about the size of the federal government? Bush is spending like a mad man. Look at the facts. Not to mention your war costs!!!! Bring them home and stop allowing them to die for nothing |

In god we trust is such a farce
It makes me want to paint my arse. Shown on display in Macey's bay in protestation 'gainst yahweh Jesus dying on the cross Was it really such a loss? He came, he saw, he bit the dust Without experiencing any lust? Mary M, she loved him best But with the boys, he did attest To eat together, side by side With Judas I, he was shanghaied Judas, bless him, cant be blamed Though written texts have him defamed God had told him, get the guard Find my boy, it wont be hard The guard turned up and paid the dough When Judas I, he turned to go Jesus asked, "Oi! why me?" "Your dad is calling for your tea" |

Paganism answers that question by the mere fact that there is no such thing. There is no hell. I believe, as do most pagans, in reincarnation. There has to be some meaning to life, otherwise it's pointless and not worth living. However, if every life we live here is a process we have to go through to learn and become better than it's worth doing. How the world was created? By a divine being (my personal opinion) neither male nor female, but both. And, again my opinion, we are all a part of that divine being. I know I'm not doing a very good job of explaining my beliefs. It's been a long day and I'm very tired. I hope that was kind of clear. Its ok, I get the gist. Thanks again |

I was raised Christian from infancy. My father was a minister most of my younger years. When I married my husband I converted to Catholicism for him (they're both Christian, but the ritual side of it is very different). I became a very devout Catholic studying everything I could get my hands on. I studied Catholic history and Catholic saints all they way back to the beginning of Christianity. Then I went back further and discovered Paganism. Paganism answered all the questions Christianity couldn't and I have stayed here. I have briefly looked into other religions such as Buddhism, but found they gave me more questions than answers. And, that is how I got here. Thanks Ruth. What questions were answered by paganism, that christianity failed to? Well, the biggest problem I had with Christianity was the teaching that God created the human race and yet only a very few are chosen to spend eternity in heaven with him while the rest will reject him and burn in hell. I guess they weren't so much questions as the concepts just didn't make sense. There's so much.... How does paganism answer that initial paragraph, or was it just that it doesnt make sense? How do you perceive the beginning of the earth based on your belief? |

I'm all in favor of humanism. I don't like those non-human galaxy aliens.
Seriously, I love you because you're human. 
Oh yeah??? 
How much do you love me? ... want a biscuit with that coffee? [shuffles closer along the bench]
