20 IT SEAMS TO ME THAT BEFORE THIS DISK WAS ERRASED THAT MOST PEOPLE WERE
|
||
|
|
21 TALKING ABOUT RELIGON. WELL, NOT ONLY WAS JESUS NOT FAMOUS DURRING HIS
|
||
|
|
22 LIFE, BUT IT ALSO WAS MORE THAN LIKE NOT HIS FOLLOWERS THAT TOLD OF HIM.
|
||
|

|

|
|
25 ...with a sigh the ancient alchemist leaned back against the forward
|
||
|
|
26 bulkhead of the deck house and soaked up the sun and spray off the bow.
|
||
|
|
27 It was a wonderful day and they were well on their way to find the place
|
||
|
|
28 that the apprentice seem drawn toward. In fact he had been is a state of
|
||
|
|
29 great excitement ever since they got underway. The piper on the other
|
||
|
|
30 hand had been sleeping peacefully in little cat naps. He would open one
|
||
|
|
31 eye occasionally and look around, ever on the alert to whatever
|
||
|
|
32 opportunity might arise.
|
||
|
|
33
|
||
|
|
34 Now Fast Fred wasn't letting any grass grow under his feet, to use one
|
||
|
|
35 of the local expressions. From the way he is directing the pace of the
|
||
|
|
36 voyage, it would appear that he is assuming the role of de facto Skipper.
|
||
|
|
37 In any case he went below to his cabin just after we got the anchor set.
|
||
|
|
38 Not five minutes later he yelled out, "Let's get it on!", so we hauled
|
||
|
|
39 the anchor up again and got underway. The craft has developed a strange
|
||
|
|
40 sort of motion. What do you suppose? But I digress...we're well up
|
||
|
|
41 river now and moving right along.
|
||
|
|
42
|
||
|
|
43 I wonder if the apprentice still senses our destination and how much
|
||
|
|
44 further it might be?
|
||
|
|
45
|
||
|
|
46 Suddenly there in the sky headed right toward the craft was the largest
|
||
|
|
47 silver bird that the alchemist had seen in any space-time. And the noise
|
||
|
|
48 that it made was loud and unearthly. He started sputtering and trying
|
||
|
|
49 to yell out warnings when one of the locals tugged on his tunic and said,
|
||
|
|
50 "don't show your ignorance man, we're right in the glide path; they fly
|
||
|
|
51 through here all the time." After much whispering the alchemist finally
|
||
|
|
52 understood just what the thing was.
|
||
|
|
53 "Oh, I see an artificial levitation device.", he said. Nothing related
|
||
|
|
54 to the artificial insemination that seemed so popular in this era.
|
||
|
|
55 Again on the other hand....but that's another story!
|
||
|
|
56
|
||
|
|
57 "Holy Magnum Opus", he suddenly called out, "Look over there on the
|
||
|
|
58 starboard bow! What is that THING?"...

|
||
|
|
64 Hearing the alchemists call, the piper stirred in his sleep. "That's not
|
||
|
|
65 bow, behind us is the stern -- or is it amidships? Anyway, were on an inland
|
||
|
|
66 stream, so the terms could be all different, anyway."
|
||
|
|
67 He rolled over to look at the awe-struck alchemist pointing, then at the
|
||
|
|
68 source of his amazement.
|
||
|
|
69 "Oh my god!..... I sure hope he's friendly!"
|
||
|
|
70 ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
|
||
|
|
71 ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
|
||
|
|
72 IT'S NEITHER HERE NOR THERE HOW OR WHEN JESUS BECAME SO POPULAR. HIS SPE-
|
||
|
|
73 CIFIC MESSAGE WAS TO THE JEWISH NATION EXCLUSIVELY. THEY ARE IN FACT THE
|
||
|
|
74 ONLY ONES HE PREACHED TO, TRYING TO GET THEM TO GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER.
|
||
|
|
75 EVEN THE PROPHESIES SAID THOSE WERE THE ONLY ONES HE WOULD PERSONALLY
|
||
|
|
76 CONTACT. THE WORLD IN GENERAL WAS LEFT UP TO HIS DISCIPLES, WHICH WAS
|
||
|
|
77 INCORPORATED IN HIS FINAL COMMAND THEM. THE AMAZING PART OF IT IS THAT
|
||
|
|
78 HE MADE SUCH A LARGE IMPRESSION AND SUCH A SMALL GROUP OF PEOPLE, THAT
|
||
|
|
79 HE BECAME WORLD RENOWNED JUST BECAUSE OF THE THINGS HE DID IN A 3 1/2
|
||
|
|
80 YEAR PERIOD OF TIME. HIS INFLUENCE ON HISTORY HAS BEEN GREATER THAN
|
||
|
|
81 THAT OF ANY OTHER HUMAN. EVEN OUR CALENDAR IS BASED ON THE YEAR HE IS
|
||
|
|
82 BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN BORN. B.C. MEANS "BEFORE CHRIST", AND A.D. OR
|
||
|
|
83 ANNO DIMINI, MEANS "IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD".
|
||
|
|
84
|
||
|
|
85 AARON: THE BIBLE DOES NOT STATE THAT EVERYTHING WAS CREATED IN 6 DAYS.
|
||
|
|
86 DAY CAN REFER TO MANY DIFFERENT SPANS OF TIME. ONE VERSE IN THE BIBLE
|
||
|
|
87 SAYS THAT ONE DAY WITH GOD IS AS A THOUSAND YEARS, AND ANOTHER SHOWS
|
||
|
|
88 THAT IT'S ANOTHER INDEFINATE SPAN. EVEN AFTER LISTING EACH CREATIVE DAY
|
||
|
|
89 IN THE BOOK OF GENESIS, IN CHAPTER 2, VERSE 4, IT LUMPS ALL THE DAYS TO-
|
||
|
|
90 GETHER AS ONE. IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THESE ARE NOT YOUR RUN OF THE MILL
|
||
|
|
91 24 HOUR SPANS. JUST LIKE WE SAY, "IN MY FATHERS DAY," ETC. ACTUALLY
|
||
|
|
92 EACH "DAY" OR PERIOD OF TIME WAS THOUSANDS OF YEARS LONG. WHICH CAN
|
||
|
|
93 BE SEEN FROM THE CAMBRIAN LAYERS. ALSO, AS TO YOUR REFERENCE TO THE
|
||
|
|
94 TRINITY, IT IS INDEED A MYSTERY. AND ALSO A MAN-MADE IDEA THAT CAME
|
||
|
|
95 INTO RELIGION WHEN CANSTANTINE DECIDED TO MERGE CHURCH AND STATE IN
|
||
|
|
96 AROUND 327 A.D. THE PAGAN RULERS, WHICH WORSHIPED MANY TRINITIES,
|
||
|
|
97 MADE A PACT WITH THE SO-CALLED CHRISTIAN LEADERS AT THAT TIME. THE
|
||
|
|
98 RESULT WAS AN ADULTERATION OF THE TWO, AND IT WAS DOWN HILL FROM
|
||
|
|
99 THERE ON FOR THE MAJOR FACTION OF CHRISTENDOM. IN OTHER WORDS, THE
|
||
|
|
100 BIBLE DOES NOT TEACH A TRINITY, MEN DO.
|
||
|
|
101 AS TO THE QUESTION OF THE "CLOUD", I WILL HAVE TO ADRRESS THIS LATER,
|
||
|
|
102 DUTY CALLS!
|
||
|
|
103 ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?DEBORAH?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
|
||
|
|
104 BY THE WAY, I WOULD'NT EVEN BELIEVE THEM ABOUT THE SHROUD OF TURIN,
|
||
|
|
105 IF THEY DID A CARBON 14 DATING OF IT. I SAW A CARBON 14 EXAM THAT
|
||
|
|
106 HAD BEEN DONE ON A PLASTIC COMB THAT CLAIMED IT WAS MILLIONS OF
|
||
|
|
107 YEARS OLD! PERHAPS THE MATERIALS IT WAS MADE OF WERE, BUT THE COMB
|
||
|
|
108 CERTAINLY WASN'T, IT WAS RUBBERMIAD! SOME OF THE THINGS WHICH ARE
|
||
|
|
109 A PART OF MY BODY AT THIS POINT IN HISTORY, COULD BE THAT OLD, BUT
|
||
|
|
110 I HAVEN'T BEEN ME THAT LONG. SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE IT THO..........

113 Deborah:
|

|
|
114
|
||
|
|
115 Jesus only preached for the Jews while the disciples preached
|
||
|
|
116 for everyone else? Hmmmm.
|
||
|
|
117
|
||
|
|
118 Let me see if I understand. Jesus, who is god, preached to
|
||
|
|
119 the Jews who ignored him, since we still have Jews. The
|
||
|
|
120 disciples, who are mere men, preached to everyone else, who
|
||
|
|
121 accepted the message and converted.
|
||
|
|
122
|
||
|
|
123 Why would people ignor god and listen to men who were saying
|
||
|
|
124 the same thing? Particularly if the god were going around
|
||
|
|
125 performing miricles. I don't understand how that works. Maybe
|
||
|
|
126 you can explain.

130 OUT THERE THAT REFUSE TO USE THEIR OWN ABILITIES AND DEPEND ON THE EXISTANCE

131 OF A "GOD" TO RELIEVE THEM OF THE RESPONSIBILITIES THAT A THINKING PERSON

132 TAKES UPON HIM/HERSELF. AS LONG AS WE HAVE FOLKS LIKE THAT AROUND THERE
|

133 WILL BE RELIGIONS OF VARIOUS SORTS FOR THE IGNORANT TO LEAN ON. AS I HAVE

134 SAUD MANY TIMES BEFORE IF YOU WANT TO BASE YOUR LIFE ON A BUNCH OF MYTHS
|

135 AND FABLES THAT IS YOUR BUSINESS BUT DON'T TRY TO CRAM IT DOWN OTHERS!!!

136 BIBLE THUMPING IS JUST A EXCUSE FOR TRYING TO GET OTHERS INVOLVED SO THAT

137 THOSE THAT DO IT FEEL NOT SO LONELY IN THEIR BELIEFS. NOT UNLIKE DRUG PUSHIN

138 G, THE WAY THE USERS GET OTHERS TO USE SO THAT THEY CAN SUPPORT THEIR HABIT.

146 Ahhh ....... The all to familiar " Religious-Philosophical " stalemate
|
||
|
|
147 Perhaps we could streamline the discussion by developing a group of prefixes
|
||
|
|
148 that we could include in our texts. Rating our convictions on a scale of 1-10
|
||
|
|
149 thereby impling all the associated opinions, chapters & verse etc. ad nausum.
|
||
|
|
150 An example : Rel.Cat.10 - Religious, Catholic, Devout
|
||
|
|
151 This would allow those of us who feel obligated to state their beliefs to
|
||
|
|
152 do so in a brief but concise manner. Relieving us the tedium of repetition.
|
||
|
|
153 And allow the discussion to move on to topics where a more eclectic atmosphere
|

|
|
154 will prevail.

207 FORCE PRAYER IN SCHOOL BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA. IT'D MAKE THE LITTLE

208 BASTARDS MORE WHOLESOME. I KNOW GOD WOULD VOTE FOR IT. ASSUMING, OF COURSE,

|

216 He spun around as the voices around him shouted something about a

217 sea monster. He looked out the port window and turned pale.
|

|
218 "I don't think I can hurt that with ordinary torpedos. I want

219 my Mommy."

221 ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

222 BARD: I FOLLOWED THAT SOMEWHAT, ON THE GIRL, AND IT OUTRAGED ME. THERE
|
||
|
|
223 IS NO SCRIPTURAL SUPPORT TO THIS FAITH HEALING BUSINESS.......AND THAT
|
||
|
|
224 IS EXACTLY WHAT IT HAS BECOME........BIG BUSINESS! THE ONLY ACCOUNTS IN
|
||
|
|
225 THE BIBLE WERE DONE BY JESUS OR THE APOSTLES AUTHORITY. MANY CALL THESE
|
||
|
|
226 MIRICLES. BUT MANY THINGS THAT ARE COMMON PLACE TO US WOULD HAVE BEEN
|
||
|
|
227 MIRACLES 20 YEARS AGO.
|
||
|
|
228 GARY: I CAN TRY..........LET'S SAY THAT A MAN IN PORTLAND CAME FORWARD,
|
||
|
|
229 AND STARTED SAYING AND DOING THE SAME THINGS JESUS DID. WOULD YOU LISTEN?
|
||
|
|
230 I DON'T THINK I WOULD. LET'S SAY THIS MAN STOOD ON THE SREET CORNER AND
|
||
|
|
231 IN FRONT OF THE CHURCHES AND CLAIMED THAT THIS WHOLE SYSTEM OF RELIGION
|
||
|
|
232 AND GOVERNMENT (athiests and agnostics included, there were many then as
|
||
|
|
233 now) WAS GOING DOWN THE TUBES. IN FACT, THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE REPLACED
|
||
|
|
234 BY ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT, AND ONE RELIGION, AND HE WAS GOING TO BE KING.
|
||
|
|
235 THEN HE PROCEDED TO DO SOME AMAZING THINGS FOR THREE OR SO YEARS. WELL?
|
||
|
|
236 ALSO, JESUS WAS NOT GOD, HE WAS GOD'S SN.
|
||
|
|
237 SON THAT IS.
|
||
|
|
238 ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?DEBORAH?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
|
||
|
|
239 P.S. C.Y.M., MY YOU HAVE MELLOWED-OUT A LITTLE. EVERYONE HAS A RELIGION.

282 The Poet, having cleared his system of all solid matter, was sleeping peacefully in the fitful sunshine on deck.
|
||
|
|
283 Every thing was fine, just fine. FINEFinefinefinefine. The strange food that Graymalkin had given him was long
|
||
|
|
284 gone, and he was feeling Very Relaxed. As he was almost asleep, he began hearing voices, shouting something. Sitting
|
||
|
|
285 up to see better, he saw a large nacreous green shape looming out of the water on the starboard side, looking for
|
||
|
|
286 all the world like a gigantic Bolo.
|
||
|
|
287 "Gimme that!" Yelled the Poet, as he yanked a bottle of beer from the fingers of one of his less-conscious
|
||
|
|
288 companions. He raised it too his lips, only to find it intercepted by graymalkin, Who proved the depth of his
|
||
|
|
289 friendship by immediately drinking it.
|
||
|
|
290 "Thanks."
|

291 "Think nothing of it."

292 "I won't."

301 as a kitty litter box for some time now, but I must admit the roll-over

325 I have noticed most of the commentators on this BBS use a term incorrectly and, I am sure unintentionally, misleadingly:
|
||
|
|
326 the word 'myth'. Myth refers to a system of belief. It doesn't make any judgement on the truth or validity of the
|
||
|
|
327 system of belief or individual facets of the system. In other words, it is proper to refer to the Christian myth
|
||
|
|
328 as well as an Atheistic myth. I immagine that most of you are using the word
|
||
|
|
329 myth in a perjorative sense. Don't corrupt a very useful and meaningful word
|
||
|
|
330 by missusing it. The English language contains many useful words and expressions that will serve much better.

342 A tease sprinkle from the mischievious clouds of spring glistened on
|
||
|
|
343 her hair as she dashed into the Inn, laughing at the vagrancies of weather,
|
||
|
|
344 out of breath from carefree dancing. Approaching the counter where the
|
||
|
|
345 Innkeeper stood with woeful eyes cast at the doorway, she swung a bulging
|
||
|
|
346 cloth sachet and upended it before him. Strawberries, plump and brilliant,
|
||
|
|
347 tumbled out in gorgeous abundance, and she laughed in delight at his look
|
||
|
|
348 of surprise.
|
||
|
|
After tarrying long, exchanging pleasantries with the
|
||
|
|
349 Innkeeper, she addressed her steps expectantly to a certain front table
|
||
|
|
350 upon which lay a sheaf of freshly-inked parchment. There, at the very
|
||
|
|
351 top was--"Pam?!" she exclaimed, whirling around to quiz the Innkeeper
|
||
|
|
352 beseechingly, who shrugged his shoulders in bewilderment and pulled a
|
||
|
|
353 long face. So the girl gathered up the papers and wandered outside, rapt
|
||
|
|
354 in her reading, unconciously brushing her dew-kissed curls away from her
|
||
|
|
355 eyes and plucking her rustling skirst aside from the greenery that sought
|
||
|
|
356 to anoint them with droplets, glittering in the frail sunlight.
|
||
|
|
357
|
||
|
|
The sunlight had begun to wane again when she burst out indignantly
|
||
|
|
358 "Ach--'no room for intellect'?! We'll see about that!" Dropping into
|
||
|
|
359 silence, she continued reading, chuckling occasionally, merely nodding
|
||
|
|
360 at other times, then: "O ho, Aaron, so you think it isn't arguable--?"
|
||
|
|
361 Later a delicate frown wrinkled her eyebrows, and she murmered something
|
||
|
|
362 about "abusive" several times...a wry smile crept in place of the frown as
|
||
|
|
363 one attempted to pigeon-hole the opinions..."Hmph, the old strategies:
|
||
|
|
364 'Crush the opposition by a show of force!' 'Belittle to make oneself
|
||
|
|
365 large in comparison'!" On the last page, her eyebrows suddenly arched
|
||
|
|
366 like a stretching cat and she reached for her befeathered pen...but
|
||
|
|
367 the rain came pelting down with undue abrubtness, and she fled from the
|
||
|
|
368 sky that had darkled, finding shelter at the Backwater, her beloved Inn.

371 Smiling wickedly, the piper realized just how to defeat the great sea monster
|
||
|
|
372 that had overtaken them. "Hey!! You!!"
|
||
|
|
373 The beast had moved quite near the craft and was looking in at about the
|
||
|
|
374 piper's head level.
|
||
|
|
375 "Uuaarooorgaaa, whooo, meee?"
|

376 The great beast looked rather nonplussed for a moment.
|
||
|
|
377 "Whaaat dooo youuu waaaant diiinneeeer?"
|
||
|
|
378 "Two things, really. First, could you shorten your vowels a little? Second,
|
||
|
|
379 what are your religious convictions? Is there a God? If not who created us?"
|
||
|
|
380 As the piper spoke, a look of interest entered the beasts eyes. "Aaw come
|
||
|
|
381 on now. If I bite on that one, you're going to pull the old line about who
|
||
|
|
382 created the creator aren't you? Whaddaya think I was born yesterday?"
|
||
|
|
383 The piper smiled. It was working. Now if he could just keep this great
|
||
|
|
384 beast interested... He called to his companions, "Didn't6y we bring a few
|
||
|
|
385 barrels of that brew? Bring a couple up for my buddy here. We're getting
|
||
|
|
386 involved in a religious arguement. But for God's (actual or hypothetical)

390 "Brilliant, absolutely brilliant, piper. Dazzle it with your logic and see
|
||
|
|
391 if it can be netted in a tightly woven paradox. This same discussion has
|
||
|
|
392 been known to tie up some incredible intellect into babbling trivia. One
|
||
|
|
393 thing though, assuming it is masculine may be an unwarranted assumption.
|
||
|
|
394 Another item that may be of interest to you; I discovered a description
|
||
|
|
395 of a similar beast, if not the same one, in an ancient book of myths."
|
||
|
|
396
|
||
|
|
397 The alchemist felt that myth was in much the same category as style. It
|
||
|
|
398 was sometimes difficult to define but as he was sometimes heard to say,
|
||
|
|
399 "Maybe I can't define it but I know it when I see IT."
|
||
|
|
400
|
||
|
|
401 "L'homme, the trouble with that stuff is that it is all too frequently
|
||
|
|
402 attempted by amateurs. The danger is that it might work."
|
||
|
|
403
|
||
|
|
404 "It appears that the apprentice may have been leading us on a wild
|
||
|
|
405 monster chase that may get our goose cooked, if we aren't careful.
|
||
|
|
406 If the piper can keep that rascal calm and the Ninja doesn't irritate
|
||
|
|
407 it with that pop gun again there may be some hope. I'll try to get
|
||
|
|
408 the multi-phase transmuter working again. That coupled in phase with
|
||
|
|
409 the playing of the pipes and maybe a chant or two from the Mad Actor
|
||
|
|
410 might just transport all of us out of danger and back to the INN."

428 It is not my intention to offend anyone but if your stance on the subject at hand ids

429 such that you are offended then it is not my doing but your own.I firmly believe that if we

|

|

431 expousing our beliefs and trying to convert you all

433 Nor do we squander the wealth of the people on huge 'tenples' and boondoggles in the guise

568 I am jarred from a deep sleep, or something which resembles sleep, by
|
||
|
|
569 an annoying buzzing in my head. Shaking my head, and pulling myself
|
||
|
|
570 to my feet, my vision clears, and I am in a strange place. Where??
|
||
|
|
571 I see a sign. "THE INN". Perchance there is someone there who may be
|
||
|
|
572 able to explain what has happened. I stagger into the place, and
|
||
|
|
573 find it inhabited by many whom I seem to know from somewhere else....

|

|

576 I have a rather athiest view of GOD... My belief is that religeon was
|
||
|
|
577 created to control those who cannot control themselves, to give will
|
||
|
|
578 to those who have none, and to guide man through time as a group, not
|
||
|
|
579 a wild animal. Religeon was created by some geniuuses who organized
|
||
|
|
580 z|2mankind...
|
||
|
|
581 And becuase of the need of man to follow a group, religeon formed,
|
||
|
|
582 and those who had no will became part of the group, and those who had
|
||
|
|
583 will were hunted down by the group and muredered as wiches, and devils

601 At The Inn, Milchar ponders his predicament. 'I think I will go in a spiral
|
||
|
|
602 pattern, flying about, until I sight a landmark I know.'
|
||
|
|
603
|
||
|
|
604 Suddenly, he hears a psychic voice talk about religion and a man's size.
|
||
|
|
605
|
||
|
|
606 'I think that will be a priority.' he muses to himself. He begins to trace
|
||
|
|
607 mystic runes in the air again, and the silver fire is at it's highest when
|
||
|
|
608 he says,

625 it would follow, Zenon, that you are devoutly religious...

626 MILCHAR: depends if mind is rotations independently of skull or not, or on
