Ah, yes..... the 'No true Scotsman' application, or that's what it looks like to me. A person from a religion does a bad thing, gets caught, and so all the congregation can claim 'that person never was a ------, and must have been ------'. But that doesn't work when a whole community acts...

It sure is very strange. It's a dull rainy day here, with no sun, and yet it is warm enough to take a walk in a T-shirt (if you have an umbrella!) So if you have a normal winter you might use $3000 of fuel for heating? We are all electric and if I can get through to next June for £2500 then...

Two days before November and its 21*C in our unheated home and 15*C in the garden, the longest 'Indian' summer I can ever remember. The trouble is that nobody really seems to know what will happen or when; we could be locked in to a serious freeze very quickly, or be gardening in...

I post up a pic tomorrow. :)

Chunky tyre update..... They are brilliant! Surprisingly they are not noisy around town at low 30mph- speeds, we haven't tried them out on the local dual carriageway yet. There's one benefit that neither of us thought of...... we live on a private estate with really tatty roads and a very...

That's it. Absolutely. Our Fire departments still don't know how to control a lithium-battery fire, a perfect (televised!) example was in my post. I wonder if and when the Insurance companies will 'click' on to all this? I've heard of mobiles combusting, and kid's E-scooter battery fires...

Ah, yes....... In the UK I only put the best 95' octane petrol in my wife's jimny, because vehicles using the lower performance fuel are getting problems with overheating, wear, etc .... Back in the 80's the UK started switching over from leaded to unleaded fuel at the pumps and drivers more...

Not one......what? Yes Yeah...Like our 'Law' and 'Legislation' I guess. So you read my post. which explained that. So what did that have anything to do with what I wrote?

Yeah, it's fair. If I want to pop in to the local city I can do this for £0.90p or £9. Those our my choices. It's a comparison between what we have. Absolutely! And I get the impression that many EV owners still think of them as IC cars; for instance, whereas they used to fill up once a week...

More exciting EV waffle! :D I'm reading that EVs on longer journeys and needing to use fast-charge facilities cost as much to run as petrol/diesel vehicles. The way that Electricity costs are going to increase are causing lots of folks who travel long distance to review any green plans that...

Hi..... A pericope is a single scene, situation or incident from the Bible, mostly from the gospels and used by HJ intellectuals. That's why I would never use such titles.

I'm really sad about that, Firedragon. Sometimes I just find it difficult to make points, I guess Of course .

I would prefer to read about your reasoning about things, Firedragon. Miracles? No. Amazing healings? Maybe. I don't have a faith, Firedragon. Maybe it would be best if you would tell what you think, eh?

I did say 'most'. Although it's not going to be known, I reckon that Jesus was probably married before the times mentioned in Mark. That's just a guess. But I definitely think that he wanted a full return of the old laws, possibly for full provision for all, which those laws did provide for .

Magdala........ somebody from Magdala..... I suppose so. But since G-Mark is quite possibly based upon the memoirs of Cephas, and its author possibly a partial witness, my mention of Magdalene seems reasonable to me. Not 'has to be'..... but certainly 'most' Jews. Paul may have been gay, he...

Oh..... I hope nobody thinks that comment of mine was a veiled insult or anything! :) Women were most useful for producing offspring. The more offspring so the stronger the community, and with the best change of producing various strengths. Researchers have found Neanderthal dna in humans...

Hi Aup..... Very interesting....... Male outsiders would have been treated with extreme caution, imo. But Female outsiders would be valuable. The bible reports that the Israelites gathered virgin female outsiders in to their families, and I expect that Neanderthals might have done so as...

Very good question. I think that most Jews in their late twenties would have been married, even widowed and remarried. The Christian idea that Jesus might have been asexual is most strange. Magdalene seems to emerge from the mist more and more, maybe.

Yeah......... that's about right. A lot of them, actually. That's your rather twisted opinion, I'm thinking. You should get to know atheists better, maybe. Yeah..... Human Legislation and Justice first....absolutely. If you disagree then please just name a country with a religious...

That's so important, to be able to do that. Generally speaking, many folks just don't respond. I'm plodding through 'Song of the Unborn.' I don't sit down to read it through because I need to think about a single line sometimes. I tend to pick it up, open at random, read a piece... and that...
