The book's historical accuracy is ridiculously off!
For example :
In his own lifetime Jesus "inspired millions to better lives" (p.231); there were "more than eighty gospels" (p.231; the number 80 is factual-sounding, but has no basis); "the earliest Christian records" were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls (including gospels) and Nag Hammadi texts (pp.234, 245); the Nag Hammadi texts "speak of Christ's ministry in very human terms" (p.234); the marriage of Mary Magdalene and Jesus is "a matter of historical record" (p.244); Constantine invented the divinity of Jesus and excluded all gospels but the four canonical ones; Constantine made Christianity "the official religion" of the Roman Empire (p.232); Constantine coined the term "heretic" (p.234); "Rome's official religion was sun worship" (p.232). There are more.

why don't people snap out of thuis bullshit and go on with their lives?
The book is not even that great!

I'm talking about the FIRST date here people.

Guys: Are you under pressure and feel that you NEED to pay? Are you expecting the woman to at least OFFER to pay? Or pay her half?

Women: Do you ever offer to pay? Or are you old fashioned and believe its the man's duty to pay?

Any first date no-no's that will automatically cause you to not want a second date? As far as etiquette?

I was thinking yesterday that the time is ripe for another revolution. History rolls over (repeats itself) it seems about ever 40-50 years. The roaring 20's were a rebellion againsts Victorian ideas. Then in the 60's there was the "free love" rebellion. People started again to break "moral" rules of society. I am betting that we are reaching a climax and soon a younger generation of kids is suddenly going to rebell against the society we have now and become more "moral or conservative." I don't think they are going to "buy" our ideas. What do you think?

I had the opportunity to help a homeless couple yesterday, and I want to know how to do more. There just doesn't seem to be enough places for them to get food and shelter.

Why are all prophets but yours false? I asked this one the other day and I didn't get too many hits. Please do not sight scripture, the Jews could do the same to you about Jesus, so my question stands, Why are all prophets but yours false?

why won't Jehovah show now? If when Elijiah asked he did prove his existence to the people then, couldn't he do this for us today?

There are many non-believers, who with this demonastration it would prove once and for all Jehovah is God, the true God!

For his glory!

We need this demonstration, I call for it. I call for the prophets of the flying spaghetti monster to have a contest of whose God will show up with the priests and ministers of Christianity,

Couldn't the true God once and for all on CNN and MSNBC come down from the heavens and take up bull meat placed on an altar? It would be so awesome, I would stop being a non-believer, I know the Bible says not to test God but this has been done with Elijah and it would be for the greater glory of your lord and savior Jesus the Christ!

“Neither sex is completely male or female. Females have functional, well-developed mammary glands. Males also have mammary glands, undeveloped and nonfunctional although equipped with nipples. Males have a penis for delivering sperm, but females have a small, nonfunctional equivalent--the clitoris. These are secondary sexual features, to be sure, but the difference between the sexes is in the degree of their development, not a matter of absolute presence or absence.” (Britannica 2001 Deluxe Edition)

"Death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience death. If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present."

Ludwig Wittgenstein, Austrian philosopher

What are your thoughts on this?
