What's for supper grandpaw? What shall we eat?
Mystical 'meat', and magically transmogrified 'flesh' for 'bread' and 'blood' for 'wine' ! Hoo'wee! Boy Howdy! Yumm Yumm! Welcome to the Feast of The Living Dead Zombie Jebus! While you gnaw on his dead flesh and drink his decaying blood, he will feast on your braaaains! |

Romulus and Remus did EAT food in "Plutarch's "Romulus". Both Romulus and Remus were described as HUMAN BROTHERS born of the SAME WOMAN but are all considered MYTHS. ALL I KNOW Romulus and Remus ATE food in Plutarch's "Romulus". [ I don't have to Explain how Romulus and Remus ATE food. ALL I KNOW in gMark the disciples SAW Jesus as he WALKED on the sea. Mark 6.48-49 Quote:
gMark's Jesus was an OBSOLETE ABSOLUTE PHANTOM as described. That is ALL I KNOW. |

The characters called John the Baptist and Jesus were executed in gMark.
The character called John the Baptist was executed in gMark 6. The character called Jesus was executed in gMark 15. Amazingly both John the Baptist and Jesus made FALSE claims or were False Prophets. In gMark 1, John claimed Jesus would BAPTIZE with the Holy Ghost but up to the death of Jesus no such thing was done. Mark 1:8 - Quote:
In gMark 9, Jesus TAUGHT his disciples that he would Resurrect on the THIRD day--such a thing could NOT have happened. Mark 9:31 - Quote:
The author of gMark wrote a story and both MAIN characters were FALSE Prophets within 3 days of the death of the character called Jesus. What is the GOOD NEWS in gMark? In gMark: 1. John the Baptist was a False Prophet. 2. Jesus was a False Prophet. 3. Judas BETRAYED Jesus. 4. The disciples ABANDONED Jesus. 5. Peter DENIED knowing Jesus. 6. The Jews REJECTED Jesus and had him Crucified. 7. The Vistors to the Empty Tomb told NO-ONE Jesus resurrected. gMark is NOT Good News. gMark's Jesus could NOT have resurrected. It would have been a LIE if the visitors to the Empty Tomb told people that Jesus was resurrected. gMark is a MYTH Fable, a Fiction story, of an OBSOLETE ABSOLUTE PHANTOM and TWO FALSE PROPHETS. |

Much of the imagery in the NT is culled from humanities ancient superstitions about death, and the lingering 'spirits' of the dead, and that fearfulness, or an unwillingness to fully accept that the dead, once dead, are permanently dead and gone.
For the most vicious and evil that die, suffer execution, or those that undergo a particularly gruesome and violent death, there is a always a lingering fear that they will find some way to return, and wreck vengeance. Thus various means were devised in almost every culture to prevent their bodies or 'spirits' from returning from the grave. (think 'Dracula', 'Freddy', 'Jason' and all the various 'walking dead' either out for revenge or looking for living flesh, blood, and braaains) On the other hand, for the 'dearly departed' such as a cherished son, daughter, or love mate, there was (and is) a strong desire to not accept that their death was really the final end of them, and of a treasured relationship. So there arose a strongly endorsed conviction among the bereaved that their loved ones were simply 'asleep', and for many, no expense was (is) spared to foster that impression. The bodies dressed up in fine clothing, and make-up added to restore or maintain the illusion of a still living, but simply sleeping person. The ancient burials were often accompanied by 'grave goods' either to accompany and comfort the departed, or to supply for their future 'needs'. Christianity is nothing more than a highly evolved, yet innately ridiculous (but also sadly pathetic) death-cult. One which has long and often brought out the very worst in human behavior, (via its doctrinal battles, hatreds, schisms, and resulting carnage and wars) as well as the most sincere, heartfelt, and honest in our human longings. Being huaman, we wrestle with the monster of our own making, one composed out of our hopes, dreams, desires, and passions. |

Many of these would rather endure torture and death than to ever allow that their God and the Holy Spirit are not real; They have to sincerely believe, for the sake of their loved ones, as well as themselves. And they will fight with everything they have, to maintain, and to continue that delusion. That should not be a new discovery. |

It is aa5874's soapbox thread, so we'll cut him a little slack in this case. If there is nothing but repetition, the thread will be closed.
