  • ArchBishop has that wailing and gnashing of teeth moment
    7 April 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    The Church of England is guilty of "corporate failure" because it has not properly spread the message of Christ, the Archbishop of York has said.

    This is getting really fascinating. It’s like the Anglican church is in total meltdown. How long will it be before he checks out what Constantine did, and realises it has all been a lie?
    He needs some Bob Marley, to help him along

    ABOUT EASTER BUNNIES AND EGGS
    By Peter Fredson. March 6, 2007
    Replay by Request
    A nephew in Mexico e-mailed me a question concerning Easter. His wife is a school teacher, and her pupils wanted to know why in the U.S. bunnies and colored eggs are associated with Easter. Most of the Mexican pupils were raised as Catholics and they only know of the alleged crucifixion, death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ in connection with Easter symbolism (Las Pascuas). No bunnies, no Easter (…)

    This is the time when Christian churches give out palm fronts, while people put ashes on their foreheads, eat Christ’s body, drink the blood of Jesus and make signs of crosses in the air. For me, the hero on the cross was Spartacus, but I know that other people disagree and do not celebrate his crucifixion.
    Some people dye little chicks pink and blue, while others have fuzzy chick replicas made of pink and blue marshmallow. Other people buy rabbits made (…)

    PETE STARK, a California Democrat, appears to be the first congressman in U.S. history to acknowledge that he doesn’t believe in God. In a country in which 83% of the population thinks that the Bible is the literal or "inspired" word of the creator of the universe, this took political courage.
    Of course, one can imagine that Cicero’s handlers in the 1st century BC lost some sleep when he likened the traditional accounts of the Greco-Roman gods to the "dreams of madmen" and to the "insane (…)

    22 February 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    Information and the application of it in personal and social contexts seems to be the key point to change in the social context especially if we consider that cyclic rise of fascit-lie RIGHT TURN ONLY religious support for war and prayer of appocolyptic endings. If one PRAYS or performs some other act that is not a communication that impacts the consciousness of others affected in the social interaction matrix - how is change to be manifested? Change comes when new information is acted on in (…)

  • Israeli Politics of ‘Archeology’ in Jerusalem
    13 February 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Nicola Nasser*
    The Israeli arrogance of being the regional military super power, unequivocally backed by the U.S. world super power, is dictating a kind of politics that deals trivially with the national and religious grievances of Israel’s geopolitical neighbors, whom the Jewish state is supposedly aspiring to live with in peace and as a regional integral part, while at the same time she is pursuing policies that antagonize those same neighbors to preclude altogether whatever potential (…)

    February 11, 2007 William Cardinal Keeler Baltimore, MD My dear Most Eminent Cardinal:
    The Bush-Cheney Gang is evil! It’s like a Vampire preying on its helpless victims. In folklore, a wooden stake was driven into the black heart of the man/devil to finish it off. (2) As a people of the Law, we don’t have that option available. Thanks to its (…)
