<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="verdana">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by rattila the hon: Christianity was derived due to a need for power and laws. it was politically based, not "God" based. just because something has been around for hundreds of years doesnt make it a good thing necessarily. there are a lot of sheep out there that need something to worship, someone to follow and someone to guide them and tell them what to do. religion has also been used as a way to explain what the worshippers could not understand. like the creation of the earth and evolution for example. my religion is simple. treat others how you want to be treated, except when do do so would hinder your own happiness and/or personal development. sorta "what comes around goes around"-ish. the power of nature and science is my religion. not some wig wearing asshole preaching to me that i'm gonna burn in hell if i don't do whatever it is he tells me to do. okay, enough. the great RAT has spoken.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Wrong! Christianity was 'derived' from the life & teachings of 1 man, a man who's life is historically recorded in great detail, much more so than say, Julius Ceasar. One day you'll figure that life is not a little game thats played out for your sole enjoyment, 'till then keep running that line. Love the forthright opinions though, you may be interested in a concept called Critical Thinking, basically its just groups of cynics who think its clever to think things through, but it may appeal to you. Anyway its Monday now so fuck religion, I can go back to being a capitalist pig, until next Sunday..............!

Bah, to think that any one organization really understands Christianity is pure bullshit. I mean, you have to look at history and consider where the "Gospel" comes from. How many "Gospels" were punted during the Council of Niccea* in 300 AD? Jesus was a hip cat but to think that he laid down rules or a bunch of garbage about "fellowship" is a pure misrepresentation of a very enlightened individual. Modern religion is so full of buzzwords and goofball thesies that they make no sense anymore. Jesus was another Buddha, that's what I'm calling. I would suggest reading Osho's The Mustard Seed for an interesting look at Christianity before the Church. *Grand Champion of Misspelling 2002
Word. Jesus didn't write the bible. Therefore one would have to take the Apostle's word for it that that's what JJWD. Besides, Jesus was Jewish. AND, nothing is known of his life until he was age 30. Christianity is based on other people's interpretations. I personally don't believe that I would need to give anyone $$ to ensure my place in heaven. What a scam that was... <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="verdana">quote -see you in hell buddy. [ July 15, 2002: Message edited by: rattila the hon ]

As for nothing being known till he was 30...that is a misquoted statistic...have you heard the manger story? he wasn't 30 then. Actually the gap goes from age 12-33. Accourding to many other religions he was in the Americas during that time (the easiest to get a hold of is the Book of Mormon). If you compare the worlds major religions there are many, many parallels (5 different religions tell of a great flood and an Ark). Which does lend itself to the probability that there is some truth or at least that they originated from the same history. So much has been changed in the differet "translation" to fit the needs of the culture (or more likely the leaders of said cultures). My problem with organized religion is there is so much corruption and anything that is sold as the truth is just someone's interpretation. I wish I could find solice like people who believe do, but until I can be convinced of the truth that is impossible.
Some very interesting shit I've been reading up on: Exerpt taken from: ARE WE ALONE? THE ENIGMA OF ANCIENT KNOWLEDGE A Cosmology of Creation The Sumerians not only knew so much about the complete solar system; they also had a cosmogony that explains many of the phenomena that still baffle modern science in astronomy, geology and other disciplines. Why does Uranus lie on its side? The explanation is 'a mighty bang;' but what from? Why does Triton, Neptune’s largest moon, have a retrograde orbit, clockwise rather than anti-clockwise as is common in our solar system? And what had swept it into such an orbit? What pull snatched Pluto from being a satellite of an outer planet, and gave it a highly inclined and peculiar orbit? Why does Earth have a satellite, our Moon, that is much too large as planet-to-moon ratios go? What caused the mighty collision whose marks the Moon still bears? And, here on Earth, why did all the continents once congregate on one side, leaving an immense cavity that is still the Pacific Ocean on the other side? Why is the Earth’s crust unevenly distributed? And how could life on Earth begin so soon, just a few hundred million years after Earth was created? Incredibly, the Sumerians provided plausible answers to all these nagging enigmas. They did so in a variety of written texts, some of which are called by other scholars 'myths' and sometimes held to be 'religious texts.' The longest and most hallowed of those Sumerian texts was one, known best by the opening words of its Babylonian version, Enuma elish; it is often referred to in scholarly books as the Mesopotamian Epic of Creation. It was in 1876, exactly 100 years before my first book, The 12th Planet, was published, that George Smith, who worked in the British Museum, published a sensational work titled The Chaldean Genesis. Piecing together broken tablets that had been discovered in Nineveh in the library of the Assyrian king Ashurbanipal, Smith showed convincingly that there had existed in Mesopotamia a creation text relating how the Earth and the Asteroid Belt had come to be, and how Man on Earth had been created. It was a tale not unlike the one in the Bible; except that it preceded the Book of Genesis by hundreds, even thousands, of years. In 1902 L.W. King, also of the British Museum in London, deciphered even older creation tales, and specifically one that was written on seven tablets. He titled his book The Seven Tablets of Creation; it was a tale that evoked the biblical seven days of creation. It was a text clearly based on a Sumerian original. Scholars treat these texts as myths, or even as a mere allegorical tale. But in fact, as my analysis has shown, the Sumerian creation texts constitute a sophisticated cosmogony. Like the first chapters of Genesis, which in fact are an abbreviated version of the Sumerian text, it is based on highly scientific knowledge, including recognition of Evolution. Modern science asserts that our planetary system resulted from the coalescing of primeval matter whirling around our star, the Sun -- first the rockier components closer to the Sun, then the lighter and more gaseous ones farther out. The Sumerian tale calls the Sun APSU -- 'The one who was there in the beginning.' And it reports that first to be created from the primeval cloud whirling around the Sun were its 'messenger' (the planet we call Mercury) and another planet called TIAMAT. In time, the other members of our solar system were brought about, in pairs. In the space between the Sun and Tiamat, the pair we call Venus and Mars were added. In the space beyond Tiamat, the pairs we call Jupiter and Saturn, and Uranus and Neptune coalesced. With the passage of time, some of these planets acquired their own satellite moons; Tiamat, for example, had an 'assembly' of eleven; and the largest of them, called KINGU in the Sumerian text, began to veer toward its own solar orbit. Taken from Nibiru The Nibiruans supposedly landed on Earth, colonized it, mining the Earth for gold and other minerals, establishing a spaceport in what today is the Iraq-Iran area - Sumer - and lived in a kind of idealistic society as a small colony. They supposedly created a human slave-race to work their mines, farms, and other enterprises. They supposedly created Man, Homo Sapiens, through genetic manipulation with themselves and ape man Homo Erectus. The Great Flood supposedly was an attempt to destroy the slave races of humanity by the Nibiruans because they had rebelled against their Nibiruian / Sumerian Gods - Enlil and Enki. Enlil and Enki were involved in a heated dispute over whether to destroy or preserve the slave races and this power struggle resulted in war. From another Nibiru site: Priori-Mars' mass was more than one tenth that of the Earth and it orbited about 38,000 kilometers from the surface of the Earth. As a result, it produced an enormous ocean tide, orders of magnitude greater than the Sun and the Moon. This radically changed the sea level around the Earth, raising it in areas near to northern India and lowering it in a circular band about 90 degrees from the Transhimalayas. The most populous area which experienced the flooding and the lowered sea level was the Middle East. Early flooding involved clear water, and was the origin of the Fertile Crescent. At the beginning of each dance encounter, the Mediterranean and Red seas were almost completely emptied as their water was drawn right across the land mass toward northern India. The residual water in them evaporated during the fourteen year encounters. At the same time, all of northern India right up to the foothills of the Himalayas was inundated by some 5,000 feet of sea water. I forgot where this one came from, but it's part of an extensive timeline: - Earth Chronicles 450,000 years ago on Nibiru, a distant member of our solar system, life faced slow extinction as the planet's atmosphere erodes. Deposed by Anu, the ruler Alalu escapes in a spaceship and finds refuge on Earth. He discovers that Earth has gold that can be used to protect Nibiru's atmosphere. 445,000 years ago - Led by Enki, a son of Anu, the Anunnaki land on Earth, establish Eridu -Earth Station I - for extracting gold from the waters of the Persian Gulf. 430,000 years ago - Earth's climate mellows. More Anunnaki arrive on Earth, among them Enki's half-sister Ninhursag, Chief Medical Officer. 416,000 years ago - As gold production falters, Anu arrives on Earth with Enlil, the heir apparent. It is decided to obtain the vital gold by mining it in southern Africa. Drawing lots, Enlil wins command of Earth Mission; Enki is relegated to Africa. On departing Earth, Anu is challenged by Alalu's grandson. 400,000 years ago - Seven functional settlements in southern Mesopotamia include a Spaceport (Sippar), Mission Control Center (Nippur), a metallurgical center (Shuruppak). The ores arrive by ships from Africa; the refined metal is sent aloft to orbiters manned by Igigi, then transferred to spaceships arriving periodically from Nibiru. 380,000 years ago - Gaining the support of the Igigi, Alalu's grandson attempts to seize mastery over Earth. The Enlilites win the War of the Olden Gods. 300,000 years ago - The Anunnaki toiling in the gold mines mutiny. Enki and Ninhursag create Primitive Workers through genetic manipulation of Ape woman; they take over the manual chores of the Anunnaki. Enlil raids the mines, brings the Primitive Workers to the Edin in Mesopotamia. Given the ability to procreate, Homo Sapiens begins to multiply. 200,000 years ago - Life on Earth regresses during a new glacial period. 100,000 years ago - Climate warms again. The Anunnaki (the biblical Nephilim), to Enlil's growing annoyance marry the daughters of Man. 75,000 years ago - A new Ice Age-begins. Regressive types of Man roam the Earth . Cro-Magnon man survives. 49,000 years ago - Enki and Ninhursag elevate humans of Anunnaki parentage to rule in Shuruppak. Enlil, enraged. plots Mankind's demise. 13,000 years ago - Realizing that the passage of Nibiru in Earth's proximity will trigger an immense tidal wave, Enlil makes the Anunnaki swear to keep the impending calamity a secret from Mankind. -----Events After the Deluge----- 11,000 years ago - Enki breaks the oath, instructs Ziusudra/Noah to build a submersible ship. The Deluge sweeps over the Earth; the Anunnaki witness the total destruction from their orbiting spacecraft. ... Another good site...
