I hope everyone is alright. Loud noises can spook any animal. It happens everywhere.

I didnt mean to refute them all. I don't see the point. My point was you don't need these other Jesuses to get the Biblical Jesus. Sharing elements doesnt necessarily require those to be the origin. Especially if the shared elements happened after the mythic narrative has been established. I already admitted it was possible. Im saying its not necessary. Psyche101 suggest multiple people was the best answer. But, that is his opinion, not a fact. The fact is we dont know, and cant know, and that the various elements could easily be all attributable to one man. Given that man being learned, and skilled, as it seems Jesus was. Especially skilled in public speaking and influencing people.

Not really. He's got the idea of a Messiah wrong but he was too concerned with Jewish tradition coming off as a recent convert. I vote Middle Eastern Greek.

Why do you sign every post with your name?? You know its right there beside your Avatar...Right!!?

Most of that UN staff were pro-Hamas locals. Only the top 1% of management were international UN designates.

People equate my terse style with anger for some reason but anybody who knows me personally knows I rarely get mad.

And, again, not as bad as currently is, if theyd not use civilians as shields. Which, also, is unhinged, but, apparently, celebrated, by thousands of ignorant college students. Must be nice to be in such elite schools, while being so very ignorant. But than, they dont teach thinking anymore, do they? They teach submission to group-think.

Didnt they (Hamas) say, of civilian deaths, that like 98% were woman and children? Are there simply no male civilians? Or are they somehow better at avoiding random bombs/bullets? I honestly dont know, but are woman not allowed to fight in Hamas? I see plenty of woman who supported Hamas in schools, and aid programs, and at demonstrations around the world, but i suspect not so much in government, nor the military.

So it is. And a lot of Quakers got read out of meeting for that sort of thing. Used to be that Quakers were not very tolerant. Doug

Nice family

Matthew seems to know a lot about Jewish traditions, more so than Mark. But a vote doesn't mean it actually existed. Doug

And so youd simply trust the MegaPharma people? No trials needed? Studies in parallel, where with 99% of these they are done in series? Thats not a myth, it is being rushed. Rushing leads to shoddy work. And people getting hurt unnecessarily. I see many links online saying the vaccines were "not rushed", only "hurried", and each one explains how everything was done in record time, with no corners cut, except the corners which were cut. With producers even producing before approval. No sir, no corners cut here... Lots of "apologist" sites if you ask me. Nitpicking over wording. While admitting things were hurried. By the researchers, the corporations, and the government. And how would i know that to be true? Because the fellows who created it said so?? Because the Biden Administration said so? If the paperwork was rushed, wouldnt that mean problems could have been missed? If I'm building a nuclear reactor, do we rush the paperwork, even if the construction was completed on time? I did find this... https://oversight.house.gov/release/wenstrup-investigates-fdas-rushed-approval-of-the-covid-19-vaccine/ Huh? So a Director of the approving government body raised doubts, and was silenced. And than the Biden Administration announced the shots were required the day after the "rushed" approval. Huh? That may be so, and i know hospitals here varied from 100% vax, to somewhat less so. Point is that medical professionals expressed doubt, and in the initial issuing of the vaccines, it was not uncommon, and not uncalled for. And yet after that initial three weeks of open sharing, China locked down, and has been so ever since. People were disappeared for sharing. Labs were shuttered. Its true Covid sequencing was done by many afterward, but the initial data from China has many interesting stories revolving around it. If the question is did government involvement speed up Covid vaccine deployment. Than the answer is yes. Extra funding. Extra eyes on the problem. It 100% mattered. I saw my doctor, and he had said the choice was mine. That likely I'd be fine. And then after getting it, he said the next year, after testing my antibodies, again, that i should be fine. The government should not, and now (in USA) can not, require/force people to take a vaccine against their will. Funny, but i was talking distancing. Now you're bringing up masks? Distancing and masks are two, related, but distinct, issues. I was talking distancing. There probably are studies showing distancing has a positive effect, but i would challenge you to find one from before the 6 foot standard was announced. The article stated studies had been done, but not to an equivalent airborne virus. And yet medical rigor requires issues be looked into. History is full of vaccines and medicines, that were considered safe, but then showed long term effects later. Regardless, my point remains testing was limited and quick. If testing had been thorough, most of the questions these research studies are looking at would be known. Not to say the vaccines shouldn't have been made available, but that it isnt crazy to question them, and to even put off getting them, if one is young, and/or healthy. Possibly. But if big families goes from (numbers just for arguement sake) 95% religious people, to 92% religious people, have you really proven any thing? Pointed out a slight trend doesnt speak to the greater population.

A better read would be Adrienne Mayor’s book, which has some archaeological discoveries in it. She also puts the myths of the Amazons in their proper historical context ie they were most likely based on female warriors of the Eurasian steppes. A historical tidbit you may find interesting: Alexander’s elder half sister Cynnane was said to use Scythian armor and weapons in battle. A female skeleton buried with Scythian weapons and armor was found in one of the chambers inside what is believed to be the tomb of Philip II (her father) in the Argead cemetery at Vergina in Macedonia, Greece.

I know. I didn't want to insult you, but thàt is what I actually thought. I work with some people who are autistic. Hell, maybe I am, heh.

He Steve! Shut up! Different time! Are you really that uneducated?

Lefties in a nutshell.

It is, its communist. Not just because its state owned but because its riddled with them working for it, and have a union that thinks the same pushing for higher wages.

It's the autistic writing style. And that statement isn't tongue and cheek.

Your responses, however, often look quite fanatic to me.

Just a day after a seven-year-old girl was among five migrants who died after being crushed on an overcrowded boat during an attempt to cross the English Channel, Mr Habib was questioned about the small boats issue by TalkTV’s Julia Hartley-Brewer. “Let’s not infantilise these people, they have free will,” Mr Habib said. “I’m not going to be held to ransom by their claim that they deserve protection as soon as they get into our territorial waters. “If they choose to scupper that dinghy, then yes, they have to suffer the consequences of their actions.” Ms Hartley-Brewer asked: “Then you would leave them to drown?” “Absolutely,” he replied. “They cannot be infantalised to the point that we become hostage to fortune.” Responding to his comments, Ms Hartley-Brewer said: “I have no doubt, Ben, that is a policy that would work quite well, however that is not a policy that a civilised country should endorse.” Outrage as Reform UK deputy leader says Britain should ‘absolutely’ let migrants drown in the Channel (msn.com)

Too late pal. Scotty is already integrating it into his next theory arguing that Colonel Vyse faked Stonehenge as a practice exercise before heading to Egypt. Meanwhile Claddy is translating Akkadian (and Sumerian, because - why not?) into "ancient language" so that only he can read it. And Bats is quiet so far, but I'm sure he'll find a way to blame it all on Trump.

I caught that. I thought you were going to put up a faux defense. And my tongue is always planted firmly in my cheek when it comes to alternative history.

Could you please restate that again, using different words?

So the magnificent is ironic here? How about their intentions? Do you agree with those?

Nope, but the evidence that shows it's NOT a fabricated tale (like Hogwarts) would be as I described it. Not in "ancient tales" (which may not be ancient or even authentic.)
