Then you should have no problem producing the 2500 year old document, or 2000 year old document. Waiting.

Where is the 2000+ year old document that gives full equality to women, I must have missed it. Jesus, in Thomas, is flat out explicitly correcting Peter and saying women can be the full equal of men if they want to. You man think saying they can be like men is sexist and he should have said...

Apollo. If you want a pagan interpretation of the Christian story, it's Moloch Worship. Solomon built two Temples, one to God on the Temple Mt and one to Moloch on the nearby Mt of Olives. Fathers would sacrifice their sons. The lamb of their fathers. They'd be fried alive in a frying pan...

Dec 25th was the shortest day of the year at the time and virtually all religions all across the planet have always considered it special, usually their biggest celebration. That one "sun of righteousness" just sounds like allegory. But light is a very big deal to the Mandaean followers of...

Symmetry is a big deal is science, and perhaps in general. The two most symmetric things are the Void and Everything That Can Happen, Does Happen. There's that about the Void.

That's what the Quantum Theory (and Jesus) says, it's called "Quantum Immortality". There is eternal life from pure science, not that Jesus anticipated the truth of science, but science is finally approximating the truth of Jesus. In my opinion.

Well, he fought against the Copenhagen Interpretation his whole life. I don't blame him, it's absurd. Something had to be wrong. I've talked to Jack Kilmon occasinally, really getting long in the tooth these days. Linguistic expert, he reads Coptic and sees the Greek and the Aramaic behind...

Here's the other Thomas sayings that mention women disciples by name... (This one has all kinds of sexual overtones. Technically, master and all, he's saying she's his wife, by the way. It's snippets found elsewhere, in Thomas and the Christian Gospels, assembled together, because of the...

Well, it make us much greater than the corpse we find ourselves in. We are just part of a much greater us, extending in directions we can't imagine, all those what-if's and their pasts and futures. Jesus isn't the only one that felt that way, but here's an example of his way of saying it...

Actually, it's not just Thomas, Christianity was about the only religion where women had any chance of being approximately equal. Luke is probably a woman. The author of the John letters explictly says she's a woman and is thought by scholars Christian and agnostic, to be at least one of the...

Yes, Gatekeeper, I can list 1000 cases, from Genesis to Jesus where the Christian Bible takes the side of the poor and persecuted, and the number of cases there are in the Bible to the contrary? 0. Zero. But the Multiverse, is the answer to "Why does God permit such suffering in the...

Well, mass/energy is conserved (at least you can't steal it for long.) We still have the conservation laws to cling to. I have to think Einstein would have liked Many Words, but you still roll the same dice. It's just Many Worlds instead of magic clouds.

If this is a Multiverse, as modern science screams at us, (and who are we to tell God how to run the Universe), then everything that can happen, does happen. Blessed are the poor, because inanother branch of the Many Worlds, they will win the lottery and find love that doesn't fade. To cut off...

To my knowledge, Native American women were not treated as equals. Perhaps more than Europeans....

Well, follow the Golden Rule and you can't go wrong. The rest is details.

Sometimes my posts are moderated and some times they aren't. Strange.

According to Tacitus, the fire spread quickly and burned for six days.[2]:XV.40 Only four of the fourteen districts of Rome escaped the fire; three districts were completely destroyed and the other seven suffered serious damage.[2]:XV.40 The only other contemporaneous historian to mention the...

In 95% of introduction to modern physics courses, the Universe is described as a rising loaf of raisin bread, with the Galaxies as the raisins... Thomas 96 Jesus [says]: "The kingdom of the Father is like [a] woman.She took a little bit of yeast. [She] hid it in dough (and) made it into huge...

What is the reality of Schrodinger's Cat? How does it feel about being dead and alive at the same time? Many Worlds says you have your feet in worlds with live cats and worlds with dead cats, when you look in the box, you put both feet in the live cat worlds. (or vice versa). The cat is...

The ultimate reality is that there is no reality. None from General Relativity, the Quantum Theory blows reality to smithereens, and Godel's Proof says there's no reality the math that science uses. It's the best of all worlds, deterministic reality is grim. This is much richer and profound.
