The bible story of Jesus is utter B*llocks, buy I believe jesus existed, because back then jesus was a popular name.

Anything to do with the Loch Ness monster is a hoax. There is no Loch Ness monster.

After reading most of the post in this thread I have reached a conclusion.
The number one Greatest Hoax of all time is the "American Educational System". sleepy.gif

So a gigantic bang creating the universe, fish becoming man, and absolute age of death is less wacky and absurd than the bible stories? Not that Im a very active christian, but science has yet to show me anything very definitive either.



Honestly a big bang?

people serving for the army are expendable, they (govt) just need all that psyche up, need employment desperately, must join or treason excuse just to get whatever they want, in thi scase obviously oil.

It's a good thing, too. Before Iraq was invaded, there was no oil in the U.S. Of course, now there's so much oil they're practically giving it away. The conspiracy theory must be true!!!

in any war, the govt wins, the citizen and the places they attacked loses. so tell me, why aren't any of them Bush kids get drafted or signed up for the army? and don't give me the "because they are the first children" excuse cause Prince Henry signed up to be in the army. so hah!

I suspect the Bush daughters weren't drafted because nobody has been drafted. Sorry if that doesn't fit the conspiracy theory. I would imagine that they haven't enlisted in the Army because they were raised with a particular lifestyle and would not be able to maintain that lifestyle in the Army...Basically, they don't want to.

Erm, it's Prince Harry. And the Bush kids didn't sign up for the army as it's not compulsary and they are interested in other things. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenna_Bush http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Pierce_Bush) Also, although Harry is in the army, he's not being allowed to fight as he presented too much of a risk to himself and his men.

yea and your a victim of it, just because i and a few others are more informed then you are, dont get upset. because your stuck in a cult and thats the only dogma you know. and you doubt it yourself your just trying to play the "cool guy" act with your little sleepy emoction at the end. its been proven by several people without a shadow of a doubt that the jesus story isnt to be taken literally and the bible is mythology, koran probably is too

how many theories is that now

its a cash cow for pseudohistorians

organized Religion! Took the power of spirituality from the individual gave it to the masses which resulted in corrpution of any truths that may have been. Catholics are the biggest tricksters who hijacked the teachings of a wiseman Jesus. Sex is bad..... But burning at the stake good.....Though shall not kill unless on a grand scale......

Hmmm...biggest hoax is... that there isn't a bunch of rich old men sitting around big tables and ruling the world. There is and they're called the CFR, the Trilateral Commission, and the Bilderberg Group. Their goal is the Orwellian New World Order. yes.gif

I see the entire world we live in, or more accurately, the various societies and
their collective beliefs and realities about the world, as one giant hoax made up
of many, many sub-hoaxes.

I think there is very little of what the average person believes about his/her
world that is not distorted or completely untrue.

And, many actual truths are widely believed to be hoaxes.

I think we live in a sort of artificially created bubble with a strictly controlled
reality kept within.

Every now and then someone catches a glimpse of something from outside
the bubble that seems very strange. If they try to talk about it openly, the
"bubble police" show up and tell them they're crazy or hallucinating or it
was all a hoax, etc. Most of the "bubble-ites" are so conditioned to the bubble
reality that they will police one another in a similar way as well.

If anyone speaks of anything outside the bubble, they are branded insane,
ridiculed, etc. And, many bubble-authorities holding many bubble credentials
will back up that diagnosis.

There can't possibly be any form of life other than bubble life. There can't
possibly be any form of transportation other than bubble-vehicles. There
can't possibly be any view of the universe other than bubble views.

If it's not in and of the bubble, it's not true is the motto.

But, it seems the bubble has sprung a leak in recent years. It was a
slow leak at first but it's gradually increasing in size lately.

What will happen is anybody's guess.

But, of course, someone would have to be insane to believe any
of this anti-bubble nonsense. yes.gif
