Hi Croco,
> nhaic! croco here thought only croco was nuts... looks like ya're beating croco by large scales, oh Toltechie one...
Toltechie does not have large scales to beat you with...only croco has that
> da hell most of dem were founded on such principles... da hell most of deir founders were enlightened individuals (well, unless dey had some burning candle with dem, nhac, nhac...)... and da hell most of dem helped to liberate anybody other deir founders... from financial needs...
Point taken croco. I recognize your good intentions in keeping me honest. I was trying to make my response brief and so oversimplified the picture. I could have written a tome on the symbolism of the cross to do it proper justice also.
I should have said that most religions were inspired by spiritual traditions. In the case of Judeo-Christianity it would be Qabalah.
As far as the historical Jesus goes, he was possibly a political figure being of the royal bloodline of David. He road into Jerusalem on a white ass to fulfill earlier Old Testament prophesy regarding the coming of the Messiah. But are you implying that he also found it in his financial interest to be crucified?
I completely avoided dealing with him originally for a good reason. No one can historically substantiate much about him. He didnt leave us a single writing. There is historical evidence that he existed from Roman records. But for all intents and purposes the details of his life that have been recorded by the apostles in the New Testament are as mythical as the ancient Greeks stories of their gods.
Religiously, Jesus was himself a reformer of Judiasm. It was Paul who created Christianity and indeed everything you accuse him of being, he was and more!
I for one am not endorsing religiosity in any way. In fact Im completely opposed to that type of literal thinking.
Had the rest of the group participating in this thread not been blinded by their own personal prejudices, they would have seen, as me an Lilly did, universal spiritual meaning in the symbolism of the cross.
To say that the flyers invented the symbolism of Jesus crucified on the crossor to discuss the biblical account of Jesus as if it were literal factor even to scorn humanity as solely responsible for corrupting Christianitywake up folks! You are playing right into your predators hands. I could say more, but Ill leave it at that for now.
> nhac, nhac... and techie... quit... ya won't hit croco with yer shotgun... fer croco is already pawing away... 'cos croco can see ya face... with all da smoke coming off yer ears an' all... nhaaaaaacc...nhac, nhac, nhac...
Didnt know a croc with such a big toothy mouth as yours would scamper off so quickly. Crocos afraid of my shotgun? Perhaps the wheaties and aerobics every morning are paying off
Actually Im surprised at you for not finding fatter fish to fry in this thread.
> But the Human Predator has always conspired to corrupt such liberating thinking into its evil opposite through cunning perversion of ideas, in order to keep humanity in a state of bondage/slavery.
Does this mean you might agree with some of my points?
Peace,
Toltechie
