| A Skeptic Regarding the Bible 10:50I take a look at many verses of the bible which can be quite revealing of its true veracity. You might have to pause often, as space/time constraints have made it faster than I would have wished. But more...take note of these excerpts, as well as the fact that there is more where that came from inside the Skeptic's Annotated Bible at: http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/ less Tags: atheism skeptic annotated bible sab good book religion god verses holy skepticism christianity Category: People Views: 26 Comments: 1 Added: Jun 9, 07 By: MetaKnight419 | |

| Bible Prophesy My take. 11:07My take on the text and the end time indicators. I tried to do this in a respectful way and hope to raise questions on the issue. The text used is a direct opposite of the teaching of Paul because in his more...theology he teaches that one should not be of the world but should be separate. And that the world is unclean. It is my opinion that Paul hijacked the teachings and sayings of Jesus and turned it into a belief system of his own ideas and theology.
"I mean, brothers and sisters,the appointed time has grown short; from now on, let even those who have wives be as though they had none, and those who mourn as though they were not mourning, and those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing, and those who buy as though they had no possessions, and those who deal with the world as though they had no dealings with it. For the present form of this world is passing away. I want you to be free from anxieties. The unmarried man is anxious about the affairs of the Lord, how to please the Lord; but the married man is anxious about the affairs of the world, how to please his wife, and his interests are divided. And the unmarried woman and the virgin are anxious about the affairs of the Lord, so that they may be holy in body and spirit; but the married woman is anxious about the affairs of the world, how to please her husband. I say this for your own benefit, not to put any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and unhindered devotion to the Lord. If anyone thinks that he is not behaving properly toward his fiancee, if his passions are strong, and so it has to be, let him marry as he wishes; it is no sin. Let them marry. But if someone stands firm in his resolve, being under no necessity but having his own desire under control, and has determined in his own mind to keep her as his fiancee, he will do well." (1Co 7:29-37 NRSV)
This technique of 'borrowing" is called "pesharim" it is also used in the Dead sea scrolls.
The texts of Maccabees tells of the resistance to the Greek Hellenization policies. Maccabees 4 the Greeks use torture devices.
The War scroll is a good Essen apocalyptic document.
Also "The Teacher of righteousness" may have some relevance.
The Sermon on the mount spoke in apocalyptic and metaphoric terms of the global reversal of the current order. less Tags: beliefs life philosophy atheism atheist christian agnostic pagan deist skeptic Category: Video Blogs Views: 38 Comments: 1 Added: Feb 28, 07 By: wayman29  | |

| They brought him but he ate not. 07:12Adapa and the food of life. http://www.sacred-texts.com/ane/adapa.htm Mark:14 Mark is the earliest account in Epic form, where the sayings and works that circulated were possibly tied together. The other more...Gospels seem to try to improve on Mark. The"q" source is possibly used in the other gospels and not in Mark.
Quick ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_document
Here is an awesome essay that had influence in my thinking on this topic.
http://www.arts.ualberta.ca/axismundi/2002/Myth_Making_In.pd f
Also the parable of the prodigal son may be relevant for when the son returns he is clothed and a ring is put on his finger.
As the essay related, the serpent in the garden may have tricked the humans into eating the tree of good and evil so they would not eat of the tree of life and live forever, which as Genesis relates the heavenly council was worried about.
Then the Lord God said, "See, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever"— therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken. (Gen 3:22-23 NRSV)
Christ was also semi divine even though he was divine he still had to face death. Even after he returns from the underworld he is clothed in heavenly garb.
Also may have relevance to a different way of viewing communion and why it has become such an important ritual.
Sorry if I pronounced some of the names wrong. The ancient Near East gods at times had complex names. Take care! less Tags: beliefs life philosophy atheism atheist christian agnostic pagan deist skeptic Category: People Views: 27 Comments: 0 Added: Feb 27, 07 By: wayman29  | |

| ReHow to Kill a Religion By Brett Keane 08:50Changes to Myths, Rituals, Texts, and assimilation kills religions. This is what happened to Roman Religion, Baalism, Some Native American Religions, and others. Keep posting I enjoy watching. Assimilation,and more...Changes to Myth and Ritual over time kills religions.
Correction from "the Crew": What I meant to say was The Mormon church is the most successful modern day new religion that some believe may have evolved as a backlash to the second great awakening of the early 1800. We need to fire the script writer..
P.s Brett-We didn't mean you didn't know what you were talking about what we meant was you need more research to sound more convincing...we fired the script writer.

| Dogma vs Science by FoulHeretic 03:02Dogma is - a religious doctrine that is proclaimed as true without proof; set forth in an authoritative manner by a church. Galileo said: "I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has more...endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use."
Thomas Paine Quotes:
“Of all the systems of religion that ever were invented, there is no more derogatory to the Almighty, more unedifying to man, more repugnant to reason, and more contradictory to itself than this thing called Christianity”
"Reason obeys itself; and Ignorance submits to whatever is dictated to it.”
“The most formidable weapon against errors of every kind is reason.”
“We can only reason from what is; we can reason on actualities, but not on possibilities.”
"Belief in a cruel God makes a cruel man. "
"To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead." less Tags: religion science belief god atheist agnostic persecution foulheretic skeptic pagan christ Category: Video Blogs Views: 150 Comments: 11 Added: Jan 17, 07 By: FoulHeretic | |
