Subject: Re: [Derren Brown] Are you anti-christ ?
Sorry Kirsty - 'Amen' was just a moment of regression to my Catholic
upbringing..it just came out in a 'Freudian Slip' sort of way - when what I
really meant to say was " I hate Nuns"...carry on the discussion...please?

Just adding my own random thoughts.....Amen means 'I agree' so no-one needs to
add it to the end of their post unless they are schitzophrenic......

>richardwrote:Joel - several points here from a very
lapsed Catholic and probably one of the older members of this Group.
>
>1. The Bible is not a book , but a collection of writings - none of which , as
far I i'm aware , were ever actually written at or around the time Jesus Christ
lived ( I'm not disputing the fact that he is a historical figure ) - the
earliest seem to have been several hundred years after the event. Even in this
day & age ,we would be hard-pressed for real accuracy if we started writing
about a figure who lived in the 16th or 17th century about whom all we knew
were verbal sources handed down from generation to generation.
>2. The Bible has been transcribed & re-transcribed from older languages & very
probably has been accidentally or deliberately translated in the process.
>3. Iraq occupies what has been called the 'Cradle Of Civilisation' and has
been argued by some Christian theologians as the site of The Garden Of Eden' .
>4. The Bible shows that the Canaanites who later became Israelites were an
invading , dispossessing tribe who justified their violence by reference to the
Will of God - some things never change.
>5. It is one thing to have Faith - but an unquestioning one in its worst guise
leads to all forms of fraud , abuse , atrocities and the suspension of logic ,
reason & basic humanity.
>
>I don't believe members of this Group are necessarily 'anti-christ' - just
evidencing a healthy skeptisism & inquistiveness about religions & 'miracles'
in general.
>Amen!

>>1) Babylon is the area know known as Iraq.
