Right. In the same way that the only true Teacher the world ever had chose to prematurely end his teaching career by allowing/enabling the sin of killing him so that his audience would focus on his death instead of his teachings was a glorious moment.

Would you have listened Joseph? In every song or movie I watch or hear, there is a defining line, scene i remember: Rod Stewert: There ain't no point in talking when there's nobody listening so we just ran away. Two fish = parents, specifically a man and a woman, not a church, not a temple, not a scripture or scriptures, but two literal parents, two literal people. They could be any man, and any woman. 5 loaves of bread = children. Specifically, the children of the parents above. obviously Jesus knew these parents and these children. He uses them as an example through a metaphor to teach something to anyone willing to listen. The multitudes = Know it all's And so he feeds, offers up the parents and the five children of the boy. Who am I, who are we? They are hungry Joseph, they all have their opinion and they can't wait to chew that family alive. I presume they think they know the family too. The feeding frenzy begins, because the multitudes are sharks, card sharks, houses of preyers. They are called the multitudes because they come from all walks of life. It is called judgement day. These card sharks are going to tell Jesus who that family is, and Jesus is going to tell you who that multitude is. There is a thin line between love and hate, which side of the line are you on? It's a thought experiment, isn't that how it is done? Or, do we do it for real? Einstein teaches us it's all relative, then a nut rises up and says, so it is. And six million Jews die and many more millions over a fucking thought experiment......................it doesn't escape my notice that the intellectuals got out of Germany. I have an 8th grade education, with much less than 1/2 a brain, a little investigation I figured it out. I am not too interested in what intellectuals, academics have to say. Shall we talk about spit, blind men and boxing, or healing? |

Most of us appreciate that it is the intellectual and the academic who have helped us to rise out of the sty of ignorance, who try to preserve and expand our culture and ethics against the flood of trivial passive stimulation and the veiled aggression of other forces in our society. ---- What's the defining line in Silence of the Lambs? "I'm having an old friend for dinner"? spin |

The "I'm ignorant and I'm staying that way" approach rarely results in sound conclusions and that is only by chance. |
