perhaps you might want to freshen up on ancient history.

This is a lame dodge.


You didn't address the argument, you simply accused me of "cafe Christianity". A dodge. Ignore the flaws in your arguments and instead attack the person you are talking to.

So the 4th Jewish commandment, the Sabbath, does not apply to women? Surely that means that the 10th commandment does not apply to women either.



Notice that it clearly says "you shall not covet your neighbour’s wife", meaning that a wife could covet another's husband.

Also, what branch of Judaism do you belong to? I am intriged by your use of the word "god". I've never seen a Jew not capitalize the "G" or blank out the "o".

TO Untamed:

Thanks. I'll see if my library has it. If you're really interested in understanding evolution, Stephen Jay Gould, Massimo Pigliucci, Richard Dawkins and David Sloan Wilson are authors worth reading up on.

Good luck.

Maybe I will, maybe I will. But I do know that what you said isn't true about Judaism. Jewish wives were given rights of divorce under certain circumstances and they were allowed to own property. Sarah gave Abraham her servant to make a baby with. Notice that the scripture is clear, the servant belonged to Sarah.

...the commandment specifically points out neighbor coveting another's wife,no other meaning is intended or it would have been stated. The commandment is pretty clear to me.

would my point be more or less valid depending on what "branch" I hang from? I use the word god as a common denominator that you can understand.

So a woman can lust after any man she wants? Since all commandments are addressed to men, a woman can steal, murder, commit adultry, covet and lust with impunity? That seems strange to me, don't you find it the least bit odd?

Didn't you say this earlier?



I just wanted to know what branch of Judaism you belong to. If that's a personal question, I'm sorry. But since you speak differently from any other Jew I have met, I do wonder. I guess I will be left to wonder, but I'll learn to live with it.

Well, I'm done hijacking this thread. Maybe it will get back to where it started in the first place, I think it was evolution, wasnt' it?

Clearly you wish.

I’ve quit reading you posts because your statements are so totally nonsensical that I have better things to do with my time than listen to uneducated ratings.

Your single-flood conjecture has been refuted many years ago by geologists. That argument is almost as old as the story of Noah itself.

It can’t possibly be true because that argument would require a single large layer of mud that all occurred at a single point in time. You can’t argue against this fact whilst still maintaining the “single flood” hypothesis.

Since that’s not what is seen in nature the single-flood conjecture can’t possibly be true. There are literally thousands of layers of fossil records all laid down from different periods in history, each containing animals from a different epoch.

To entertain your arguments would be like giving a pacifier to a baby. There’s nothing to entertain but the arguer himself.

Clearly you have serious fears concerning the truth of evolution since you are scraping the bottom of the barrel using old ideas that have long since been refuted.

Whatever is causing your phobia of evolution, it is totally unfounded, I assure you.

My concept says that God created mice with non-coagulating blood. You are now saying it is crazy to believe that God could creat mice like this?

Whether or not you believe that humans evolved from some other species or not you cannot say that evolution doesn't exists. There is scientific proof that other organisms have and still do evolve to become better suited to their environment. Does that mean God did not create them. I would think not. It would only mean that they were created to have this ability to change.

Emotional instability is hardly proof of faith.

It’s more likely a sign of poor diet and lifestyle.

It can also be a symptom of brainwashing.

See your doctor for a professional evaluation.

(Sorry Barry, I just can’t help myself, this is too much fun. )

I must confess Jax, that your Ant Farm theory makes more sense than anything that Untamed has suggested thus far.

At least that would lead to a picture of an honest God.

Please reconsider 'symbelmyne'!!!

You are a 'grounded' voice of light, ... and boy does this place need light!!!

"... Everything which goes up eventually converges..." dixit Pierre Teilhard de Chardin.

You definitely are one whom carries it 'UP' !!!

Don't allow the primitive brain 'agents' to invalidate your spirit.

Stick around! Keep writing!

A fan!

I agree to some of your point because if we look at the bible from the old Testament and New. Taking verse in to account and the meaning of the verse can not bring about litheral intrepartation of what the story. When the stories are then examined can one look at the METHAPHORIC, SYMBOLIC, MATHAmathical, pscyhology and spritual meaning. The bible was written by those that interpreted the WORD of GOD. But due to the politic and greed, power and control. The bible then is intrepated to others but breaking certain pieces and adding others. If any one on this site believes the bible is to be used in this manner and that it was not changed and fashioned to be used by our follow kings and the vatican,then sonmething passed you over in life. If for example, we take the KING james version, the were several scholars and only two Hebrew scholar. The bible during this priod was written in Greek ans hebrew. Before the King James bible was completed the two Rabbi's had died. So the rest was left to the King'S servant and guess what. Know what happened to all the other books and scroll. The true Holy Grail? Which in my opinion but the Bllod and lineage of Dragon Kings and Queen, who held the secrets of Alchemy and Star Fire Medicine.our But again the bible or any other rigiuos text, need to be examine for a Myth perspective that carries Metaphors and symbolism thought being aligned with one self in order to exacts the metaphyscial intrepretation of the test, who wrote it, what is the voice. I am not Christian. I am a student of Orunmila who brought IFa into the world. Our Odus are broken down through a system of divination dating back 70, 000 yrs. and who writings follow protocol via a mathemathical system of tretragram, geomantry, metaphysic ,and system to guide current event in out lives. But even our odu need to be carefully examined via divination and then put into the current present state of the individual, environment, and family. I can look at Genesis and prove that there are two creation stories. Now I can intrepret this how. My answer, go to Iraq, for eample, dig twenty feet down and you will find proff of the flooding that took place. In IFa, we know this via scientific and oral tradition that account for these facts via cuurent written work but more importantly the myths and stories that are pass and show that there was more then one flood. Another thing to know that when you use, our current calendar, be it Georodian or not, these calender does not relate to the sequence of events in the bible. My culture uses a 5 day cycle, look at the Mayan recorded history of time, they do not match up with the new from of time and space, the 7 day calendar which prevented believer from accessing the five day cycle. We beleive that during the 4th. day, a portal is opened fron AYE to Orun and this allow for the white light of ELA (one of the many consciousness of GOD)to process up with truth and solutions to the problem of ORI (our consciousness). During the conquest, etc. these truth where taken by the Catholic church that manipulated the truth to it peoeple. So we use the seven day, and you worship on the seven.

So my point is reading a text like the bible lithery is crazy, for a lack of a better word. a good referrence some of what I am talking was taught by the reknonwn and most expertise in religion, culture and myths, would be Joseph Campel. He wrote book like the hero journey, a hero with a thousand faces...I think he wrote approximately 30 books and was about to finish the enclyclophedia on Myth before he died. Star Wars is best on his interpretations when the original writer was stuck. WILL

God IS the answer!

And the question is


What has sparked more wars and caused more pain then all other causes?

Thanks for the belly laugh Rev. I needed that just now.

You are in Jeopardy!

I gotta admit it that is very funny
