The Nature of the World Drama Cycle
The cycle of five epochs, comprising Golden-Age, Silver Age, Copper-Age and Iron Age and the confluence Age repeats exactly everytime after it has turned full wheel. During every cycle, the souls who are the actors on this world-drama stage will be the same. Each soul will act the same part in every cycle since, in the soul itself is indelibly ingrained the part it has played life after life in the previous cycle or that it has to repeat cycle after cycle. Just as in a tape record or a gramophone record, a whole song or drama is recorded and it repeats every time the record is played, even so, a soul’s role in this world drama is recorded in the soul itself which is only self-luminous, conscient point. The soul replays the part once every 5000 years, because each one of the four eras of the world-drama being equal to 1250 years, the duration of one World Cycle is 5000 years.

I wanted to start forum on this... please give us your feedback

Here is a bigger question: WHICH 10 "Commandments"? (they are not called commandments in the bible)

It's amazing how many people don't know, or ignore the fact that there were TWO sets of stone tablets!

Don't believe me? Read both Exodus 20 (the tablets Moses broke) and Exodus 34 (the second set, with....different commandments???).

Then, just to make things more confusing, try reading the different TRANSLATIONS of the 10 Commandments:
Protestant, Catholic, Hebrew

Whew! Exhausting!

This question was inspired by this article:

Published: May 16, 2007
Among the most popular religions to have flowered since the 1960s, Wicca — a form of paganism — still faces a struggle for acceptance.

Lighthouses are more helpful than churches."

-Ben Franklin, Poor Richard's Almanack, 1758


"History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance, of which their political as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purpose."
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Alexander von Humboldt, 1813


Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind."
-Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason, 1794


"Christianity...[has become] the most perverted system that ever shone on man....Rogueries, absurdities and untruths were perpetrated upon the teachings of Jesus by a large band of dupes and importers led by Paul, the first great corrupter of the teaching of Jesus."

---Thomas Jefferson

I feel I know the answer to this, I just want to see if someone can confirm it for me The text the questio refers to is this.

18 For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

What is taking away from the Book of Revelation? Why would this be such a serious warning if only a Bible translater could do it? Does anyone really know what this means, taking away?

This is disturbing, not to mention news to Old Ben who abandoned Christianity during his teens and never looked back.

You people are aware of this, aren't you? He says so in his autobiography, or does your own ignorance of the Deistic/Enlightenment views of the Founding Fathers take precedence over Ben's own words?

Ben also spent many years as the US Ambassador to France, and hung around with his friend Voltaire. You do know who Voltaire is, don't you?

The rules of Jihad
A military Jihad has to be obey very strict rules in order to be legitimate.

The opponent must always have started the fighting.
It must not be fought to gain territory.
It must be launched by a religious leader.
It must be fought to bring about good - something that Allah will approve of.
Every other way of solving the problem must be tried before resorting to war.
Innocent people should not be killed.
Women, children, or old people should not be killed or hurt.
Women must not be raped.
Enemies must be treated with justice.
Wounded enemy soldiers must be treated in exactly the same way as one's own soldiers.
The war must stop as soon as the enemy asks for peace.
Property must not be damaged.
Poisoning wells is forbidden. The modern analogy would be chemical or biological warfare.

Support George W. Bush.

A man who not only supports the death penalty, but I believe governed the state with the most executions.

A man who started two wars, with a combined death toll easily in the hundreds of thousands.

This doesn't seem like "pro-life" this seems like anti-life to me.
