Answer 1

I'm confused by your question.

Answer 2

I do not understand!!! I really do not grasp this!!! I am amazed!!!
I am suprised if not amused!!!

Wow!!

I cannot get my mind around the:
The amitigated gall!! The closed mindedness!!! The absence of consideration, politeness, or courtesy!!! The dullness of mind!! The Void of enlightenment!!! The pomposity!!!

I am so baffled, vexed even!!! I am astounded by the arrogance of ignorance!!! The LAZZINES of THINKING!!! The Lack of the will to research!!! The inability to open the mind, look at a road map!!! The lack of objectivity!!! The confusion??

Ah yes! The Confusion! That is it, the confusion!!! The confusion regarding the question.

More to the point....


I am Dazed & Confused!!!

There is an saying, that one should activate brain, before engaging mouth!!! Subsitute fingers for the word mouth and the concept is the same for electronic communication forums.

What is the problem?

From what I can see, the author has posed a question and has provided a hint to gently take the hand of the answerers to information that would supply the facts & details to intelligently answer the question, without harassments, ethnic insinuations displayed in undeserving statements such as these:

wat ur saying is racist,
or:
Because they weren't the racists you seem to be. Nothing
worse then a bigoted black man. Disgusting
or:
You're not making much sense. Add some details to your
question
or:
That is a racist comment but if you want something on the
lines of it maybe you are dyslectic and reading god backwards
or:
Is it because they did "Greek style" to them,.. the best

I respectfully submit, how is the question and the hint regarding the question racist? Is there bigotry among those answerers? Or is it ignorance of manners and research technique?

This is the 21st century, the age of internet access, the information age. We do not need to go some distance to the library to retrieve information.

The information is at our fingertips, not just virtualy, figuretively or litteraly, but ACTUALLY at our fingertips!!!

There are reasons for lazy thinking and lazy research however there is no excuse!!

Herodotus is considered the Father of Western History. "The Histories," is a compilation of nine books written by Herodotus. It is dated about the 5th century B.C.E. In the histoies one can find information about Greeks, Medians, Polopensian Wars, Persians, Aristotle...

In answer to your question: they were considered gods because the Greeks were primitve or inept in Philosphy, Logic, Metaphor, Mathematics, Arts, Sciences, Medicine, Government, Social Graces, etc. by comparison to the advancement of the so called Negroes. Ethiop is the Original name for the chief of the gods, whose name was later changed to Zeus or Juneau, Jupiter, or Odin in other cultures who came later. The word Ethiop means "one with burnt skin" Ethiopians would be "burnt skinned people," in other words, dark skinned people. By comparison to the primitive mind, gods.

If the head of the gods is named Ethiop and the people Ethiopian and the definiton means burnt skinned people, and burnt skinned means a dark skinned people and dark skinned people mean ***** then the reference must be to these people.

The answers received in this forum, reminds me of a painting by a priest named Aristi of a dark skinned Jesus. The priest was from either Central or South America. His painting like those which came later came under critisism and derision by many closed mined uninformed, self-righteous, sanctimonious, Christians. Just as today, these people were not aware of their Coptic, Orthodox Christian, or Roman Catholic, heritage. Had they been aware, tey would have known that the first paintings and sculptures ever created were those which featured Jesus and his mother Maryam, as dark skinned people. They would also known that in disobedience to the commandment against images, Pope Gregory allowed images, paintings and sculptures to be the media which the unlettered people could be reached. Successive Popes commissioned artist that would lighten the sins of the images so that it would serve as a reference point for the common unlettered folks. The dark skinned sculptures can be found through out Europe and especially Eastern Europe.

I wonder why in the U.S.A. there is a presence of light skinned paintings and sculptures, in Christian Temples where only dark skinned people worshiped; a presence of dark skinned paintings and sculptures, in Christian Temples where only dark skinned people worshiped; no presence of dark skinned paintings and sculptures, in Christian Temples where only light skinned people worshiped.

I wonder why when aliens are described that the aliens have light skins. If they are featured with dark skins in movies, there is come disfigurement of the physical and facial features, like ET, Clingons, or Enemy Mine.

Answer 3

Shhhh. The whiteman might here you. I know brotha, preaching to the quire.

To me it is ironic that the only white people in the "time of the bible" were Romans. Romans during that time did not believe in Christ or God. But they did notice the power that belief held over the masses. So they in turn used it to control people. And here we are today genocide after crusade, using the same tactics they did.

One thing whitey is, is crafty.
