a guest attemopting to repudiate the da vinci code stated that there were eye witness reports of christs death on the cross. this idiot does not undersatnd that a story wriotten down some 70 years after the fact is heresay and not a eye witness account.

Hey look, the new Pope watched Mel Gibson's P.O.S. film and exclaimed 'It is as it was,' or something pretty close.
I ask a lot of people what their homeowner's insurance policy costs them. Most everyone can't give me an amount. They say, 'it's rolled into the monthly mortgage payment.' Now what does this have to do with anything? If someone is so shallow that they cannot sort out a down-to-earth money amount (I'm talking thousands of dollars each year! Mine was $3800 which kills me!)
Now, imagine living one's life based on a story line, but all you've ever done is read one or two English translations of an ancient Greek language; you've never asked how people thought two millennia ago, or what was truly geographical in the account, or who was actually in political positions from info outside of the Bible. You just widen your eyes, extend your arms out in front of you like a sleepwalker and say 'It's the Bible, it MUST be true,' and that's that! Then you have those who absolutize the book saying it's 'infallible,' even though there are blatantly obvious contradictions on every account. Equally bizarre and expressing of mental illness is the treatment of the writings as historically accurate - like using a geneology of the alleged father of Jesus (Joseph) to go back to the mythic world parents Adam and Eve (blows the later myth of God being the father of Jesus), and arrive at the notion that the world is some 5700+ years old, not 5 billion!)
What is one to do with individuals who HATE freedom so entirely that they quote sayings about being slaves and servants of Christ. Moreover, the servitude of being an Initiate in The Way so that 'theosis' can occur (being transformed into Christ), is SO misunderstood that their unspeakably pathetic understanding of the process is to parrot the exoteric mainstream byline like it was Gospel [little joke ]. In other words, the belief amounts to an absurd Literalist interpretation which ignores the historical and philosophical agendas of the authors of the writings. If I believe the myths as if they are history, I will go to a place of angels and light instead of devils and darkness - pleasure-pain mentality that even a one-celled paramecium responds to.
I simply excuse myself from the presence of these people because they collectively represent culturally-sanctioned mental illness. If they want to remain shallow and materialistically-oriented (e.g., resurrection of the body in a literal sense) that is bad enough, but if they want to treat me as an opponent to be converted to their simplistic beliefs, and condemn me as evil for not believing, things get really bad. If such individuals had real political power, the persecutions would resume. Executions like the Muslims have would ensue. It would be another holocaust like the 'burning times!'
Enough fun this time?

Good post Mark! This is why I hate FOX News, they encourage... persecution basically. O'WTF-ley has said that legalized drugs, homosexuality, and liberalism = TERRORISTS WINNING.
straight out of O'Really's mouth...... about 2 years ago. Said totally seroiusly. Liberalism, drugs, homosexuality = terrorism.
These guys are furthering the stupidity of people who are already stupid. But the more scared of dying you are the more your intellect is disarmed and the more likely you are to be lulled into such simple and unreasonable lines of thinking.
I do not watch the news anymore but it's disconcerting that some people may take FOX News seriously...... and there are people on it practically every time I manage to surf through advocating fascist measures.
Like they put this attractive young neo-naziesque guy vs an eccentric looking college professor to debate pornography. The professor is right, that studying pornography helps us understand deep sexual ideas that the society often hides in its shadow... and the young little pleasant man starts saying PORNOGRAPHY IS SICK AND OUR FOUNDING FATHERS WOULD HAVE IT CENSORED that kind of talk is DANGEROUS!
The professor goes ape-shit, figuratively..... and says to him.... what on earth are you talking about! But if you're not politically savvy (not that I am) you'd look at this professor and think him a lunatic, whereas this fascist was sharp dressed, young... in his mid 20s.... the ideal looking "normal" guy....
they're sending the message it's normal to support draconian amounts of censorship.
The media is ........ I have sworn off all news. I don't know about what's going on in the world unless others tell me about. I still sign petitions and would vote if given the chance (not that there are many things to vote about) but I don't see how watching biased selections of world events slanted for entertainment and spin factor .... makes you a better person.
I dunno.
News is doublespeak.
-------------------- I am the MacDaddy of Heimlich County, I play it Straight Up Yo! ....I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow, to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human...... Om Namah Shivaya, I tell you What!
