As I understand the above statement it can also be said as 'truth is a three sided coin'- your version, my version and the real version. The problem with the 'real' version is any truth is subject to the observers interpritation- which is coloured by many different things, some of those are...

By the way Divine- The Biblical/Noah's flood hasn't been 'proved' by science-unless you're refering to the end of the last ice-age (which happend before the world existed if you're a creationalist which I think you must be) OR you might mean the truely magnificet flood of the Mesoptainan Valley...

The Sumerians were worshiping the Nephilim race and their Giant offspring?- with ref to another of your postings as well- just when did archeology uncover the bones of this non-existant race of Giants? I have to ask, are you for real? Has it ever occored to you that it's more likely that the...

'Then I saw a new heavenand a new earththe first heaven and the first earthhave passed away'We are fallenlike the mourning sunwe are waking upyeah, we are fallenlike the mourning sunwe didn't fall from heavenwe didn't fall for you'Fields of the Nephilim', Mourning Sun.(they tend to produce...

possibly but I'm deeply suspicious of those interpritations. Gods, by definition, are supposed to be able to do amazing things so why not fly around in chariots etc blasting eachother with lightening bolts? And what about the ones who lived under the sea or in the Abyz? Although most (not all)...

That's logics one big weakness- used on it's own you can 'prove' just about anthing you want. As a wise man once said (Mr Spock in one of the Trek movies);'Logic is only the begining of wisdom, not the end.'

The Epic Of Gilgamesh-my favorite piece of epic poety and probably the oldest know book/novel. It's a total mystery to me as to why the Sumerians are so often overlooked and rarely given the credit they (probably) deserve.

Nope, no-ones given that option yet- not a route I'd even consider myself. Some might say attacking him is suicidal- but at least you've got a chance and if enough people do it... they might get the hint. The worst part of this whole hypothetical situation is if you lie and then break your...

And then you've got the Pagan 'goddess'- the 'maid', 'mother' and 'hag'-ok so I'm probably using the more modern terms but you know the one I mean- who is ONE goddess with THREE 'aspects' (what those aspects represent are immaterial to this argument). This particular goddess has been around a...

Speaking as a Brit, trust me, give Tony Blair and Gordon Brown a few hours to think about it and we'll be facing a whole host of new taxes...

The thing with Dawkins (and I've gone into a bit more detail on another thread) is he's a very intelligent man, probably the worlds leading expert in evolution and very arrogent with it- only reason I recomended it here is because he, in one chapter, asks the same question as 17th- and gives a...

Two blondes walk into a bar, you'd have thought one of 'em would have seen it. OR; And Englishman, Irishman and scotsman walk into a bar. The barman says;'What is this, some kind of joke?' (groans all round) OR a Rabbi finishes his prays with this heart felt plea;'please Lord, help me. I sent my...

I've read 'The God Delusion'- Dawkins is indeed a very cleaver man- he makes evolution an interesting and exciting thing to read about, makes some of the more difficult concepts easier to understand with out talking down to the lay-person and obviously knows his stuff when it comes to that. On...

Nope, not too idealistic at all- just don't expect it to happen right away! Without people like you and Wil things would never change and, if we were lucky, we'd still be bashing each other over the head to get to the water hole... My problem isn't the idealism it's the seeming expectation that...

</p> That's it, exactly my understanding of an 'eye for an eye', but in better words. Can't argue with your point of view on the principle of pacifism but would argue that, for now, it's not going to work- Your idealism isn't niave tho- (as some might say)- it's the goal we should all be aiming...

I don't realy know much about Islam, only what I've picked up from some Muslim friends at work. They tend to refer to God in masculin terms so I went and assumed... But the 'WE' would still, in many ways, back up my point of a genderless God as there is only 1 God in Islam so God refering to...

EYE FOR AN EYE- just a point to add to that which has already been said, I wanted to check I'd got the following right before posting it. This is quoting from 'The Complete Idiot's Guide To Understanding Judaism' by Rabbi Benjamin Blech (so I'm assuming he's speaking with some authority?)...

Weeellll-I'm not going to say there not (not to His face anyway-lol and seeing as EVERYWERE you look is to His face....)

I believe 'The God Delusion' by Richard Dawkins to some extent answers your question 17th.

I don't know for real what I'd do but hypothetically I hope that when he came back in the room I'd do everything possible to rip his head off and at least die fighting the evil sob. I say this because of the way the 'offer' is put to me-the end does not justify the means- and this group are...
