Well, yeah - it COULD be that the whole goddam book is nothing but a book of fables and truisms, and has as much (and as little) to do with reality as Aesop's Fables. Which is kind of my point. Take it as a book of a few guidelines, all of which can be summed up as "Don't eat where you shit", and NOT as the absolute, literal word of some "god", etched in stone.

The Hebrews don't really have a word for our modern conception of hell. The closest thing they have to approximate the idea was a burning junkyard just outside of Jerusalem.

So when I die, I'll become a Palestinian and live on the outskirts of Jerusalem?


Besides which, most of the crap written about Jeebus is pure horseshit anyway, or misunderstandings and misspellings. Hell, *I* can turn water into urine; can't everyone? And I can walk on water, too, if it's frozen. :)

Thanks for that , Byte...

You are correct , which is appreciated , by myself if not by any others present...

The 'burning junkyard' to which you refer was akin to a city dump...Fires were kept burning there to consume refuse , derelict items , and other disposables...

In the Hebrew , it was known as geh hinnom , or valley of Hinnom...Translated to the Greek , it was ge' en-na , and in the Latin , ge hen' na .

Only later was a Latin equivalent for Hades ,
in fer' nus , which also meant 'the unseen place' , corrupted by the pre-existing pagan and Hellenic concepts , and later , Dante's 'Inferno'...

There's no Biblical basis for a 'hot place' as an area of torment...Rather , concepts such as 'geh hinnom' were symbolic of complete destruction from which there would be no return...

I'm walking on water today...Why must you wait for the ice ?

Your dogma is unsupported , and who is this 'Jeebus' you keep referring to ?

Shouldn't oughta be critical of other folks' beliefs , or their alleged mis-spellings , if you can do no better than unsubstantiated slanders...Weren't you recently alleging that Ron Paul is a 'racist' , also ?

Wicked imaginings of your diseased mind , and then you spew it all up here in a public place...

Wow . Sad .

Now, I'm used to PN being batshit off the wall crazy.

But I thought O2B was just a hardcore partisan schill.

When did he start striving for lunacy on the level of our village idiot?

"I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him."

Heh... suuuuuuure. Just keep telling yourself that.

(Case in point, while I was quite snarky - the only way you could claim what I wrote was "luncay" is if you agree with PN.... which puts you clearly into the "psycho-dipshit" club)

"I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him."

I'm not sure telling someone they're going to hell is a sign of insanity. I tell myself that all the time, and I don't even believe in hell.

...Bad example. Okay, my extended family tells me that ALL the time too, especially when they're loosing an argument. They're mostly sane and nice, they're just... Mormon.

Ouch. Maybe, I can't think of many worse places...

I think more likely you'll be put on some fluffy white pillows in a wooden box and your family will be sad, though.

You mean I shouldn't do what you routinely do?

By the way, you misspelled "mis-spellings".


1) Aren't you ALWAYS critical of other folks' (yup, you didn't punctuate that one correctly) beliefs if they don't align with yours?

2) How many alleged "mis-spellings" [sic] of mine have you pointed out? How many of them were ACTUAL misspellings, and how many were just you trying to project your failings onto others?

3) How does one substantiate a slander, anyway? You have nothing BUT "unsubstantiated slanders" to offer here. You know, like your claim that I tried to have you banned. Never happened, never would; it's just an utter and complete lie you like to tell yourself.

Let the wild rumpus start!
