A Colossal Dilemma Within Science & Religion | In5D.com: "The Destiny of Man is to unite, not to divide. If you keep on dividing you end up as a collection of monkeys throwing nuts at each other out of separate trees."� ~ T.H. White.

Let me assure you - I do believe in God. I believe in the Divine, with a big 'D.' �I believe in a vastness, which has created this Universe and others, which our human minds can hardly digest. What I don't believe in anymore is science, or religion.

Religious Fundamentalism and its Impact on the Female Gender

Religious Fundamentalism and its Impact on the Female Gender: Whether the mother is depressed and withdrawn or dominating and angry, the extremely vulnerable baby and young child fears being killed or abandoned by her, and this fear of imminent death is embedded in the brain in a dissociated alter in its right hemisphere, where it is unavailable for correction as the child grows up.1
Psychoanalysts have begun to address the fact that many of their patients continue to fear and defend against early death dealing Killer Mother alters that remain in a cut-off dissociated state in their psyches. Joseph Rheingold, a psychiatrist writing in the 1960's emphasized the child's terror of being violently killed by his or her mother who wished him or her dead and shows that the child, therefore, concludes that it must be because he or she is bad and that "by dying the child appeases the mother and hopes to gain her affection."2
Rheingold sees this not only a source of suicide and other destructive behavior but as the ultimate source of religion in rebirth fantasies such as the Christian and Islamic wish to die and be merged with God/Allah, shouting "Allahu Akbar," God is Great, "the Killer Mother is great", where, "mother's love is the prize of death." 3

Who Wrote The New Testament?

Who Wrote The New Testament?: �
WHO WROTE THE NEW TESTAMENT?
from RomanPisoHomepageBookshelf Website

The authorship of the New Testament books have been discovered. For years, the book “The True Authorship of the New Testament” has been out and many persons have been discovering this as well.

Now, we feel that it is time to put this information out on the Net. There has been a few WebPages on the Net telling about how and why the Roman Piso family authored the New Testament. But there had yet to be the information on who wrote each of the New Testament books. So, here you will find out who wrote what. There is enough information here so that persons can grasp the fact that this is real and that they can research it further as well as find books that will help to explain this in more detail.

Soon, there will be new books out that will enable even the person to do their own research on this and to verify it. Our goal in all of this is to get this out to as many persons as possible and to see more and more persons writing on this subject. Look for books on the subject of: ‘The Piso Theory’, and of ‘The New Classical Scholarship’.

We have determined that the book of Mark was the first of the Gospels to have been written and so we will always list Mark before Matthew.

Bruno Bauer and Early Christianity

Bruno Bauer and Early Christianity: In Berlin, on April 13, a man died who once played a role as a philosopher and a theologian, but was hardly heard of for years, only attracting the attention of the public from time to time as a "literary eccentric". Official theologians, including Renan, wrote him off and, therefore, maintained a silence of death about him. And yet he was worth more than them all and did more than all of them in a question which interests us Socialists, too: the question of the historical origin of Christianity.

On the occassion of his death, let us give a brief account of the present position on this question, and Bauer's contribution to its solution.

Bible Scholar: Jesus Never Lived — Myth Created By Romans To Control Masses | The New Civil Rights Movement

Bible Scholar: Jesus Never Lived — Myth Created By Romans To Control Masses | The New Civil Rights Movement: Was Christ real? American biblical scholars are claiming that Jesus Christ never actually lived — that he was a myth created by ancient Roman aristocrats as a tool to oppress and control believers. “When the Romans had exhausted conventional means of quashing rebellion, they switched to psychological warfare,” says scholar and author Joseph Atwill. “They surmised that the way to stop the spread of zealous Jewish missionary activity was to create a competing belief system. That’s when the ‘peaceful’ Messiah story was invented. Instead of inspiring warfare, this Messiah urged turn-the-other-cheek pacifism and encouraged Jews to ‘give onto Caesar’ and pay their taxes to Rome.”

The Myth of the Great Spirit

The Myth of the Great Spirit: At some point in the distant past, and well after European efforts to eradicate native Americans in the Western hemisphere had begun, the idea that tribal people worshipped something generally referred to as the Great Spirit entered the field of discourse in the few and widely scattered efforts anyone of European descent made to understand, then communicate, what native people believed about the nature of the world.

Asia Times Online :: Middle East News, Iraq, Iran current affairs

Asia Times Online :: Middle East News, Iraq, Iran current affairs: "More than the Koran's sanction of wife-beating, the legal grounds on which the Koran sanctions it reveals an impassable gulf between Islamic and Western law. The sovereign grants inalienable rights to every individual in Western society, of which protection from violence is foremost. Every individual stands in direct relation to the state, which wields a monopoly of violence. Islam's legal system is radically different: the father is a 'governor' or 'administrator' of the family, that is, a little sovereign within his domestic realm, with the right to employ violence to control his wife and children. That is the self-understanding of modern Islam spelled out by Muslim-American scholars - and it is incompatible with the Western concept of human rights."
