Crazy crazy crazy

The textual and editorial history of the "bible" is fascinating and I encourage everyone to delve into it, at least a little.

Here are some, err, facts.

No one knows who wrote the book of Daniel.
It is impossible to determine the degree of historical accuracy of that text.
We do not have the "original" manuscript (as is the case with all the books).  What we have in this case is cobbled together from later copies/translations written in Hebrew and Aramaic.
Translations into English and other languages of those later texts are very unreliable and often extremely misleading.

And don't get me started on the question of the apocrypha.

Religious fanatics even christian one are like atheists, moved by fear...

Unrecognized fears....

Freedom cannot be faith without brain power, nor brain power without faith....

God created me free, not almost free....If i am not free it is because by fear i dont want to be free....


"The Vision of Christ that thou dost see
Is my vision's greatest enemy.
Thine has a great hook nose like thine,
Mine has a snub nose like to mine.
Thine is the Friend of all Mankind;
Mine speaks in parables to the blind.
Thine loves the same world that mine hates;
Thy heaven doors are my hell gates.
Socrates taught what Meletus
Loath'd as a nation's bitterest curse,
And Caiaphas was in his own mind
A benefactor to mankind.
Both read the Bible day and night,
But thou read'st black where I read white. "
By William Blake

twoleftears, you may want to stay in the slow lane on that highway ... 

One thing is sure i never interpreted the new testament like a bad hollywood movie with hell at my left and paradise at my right....

We are prisoner of our own fears nothing else....

Consciousness dont die, that explain why blindness may persist after death in a great waiting room called hell....


In the great Swedenborg visionary books, the damned are very happy in their hell and dont want to go to paradise....

I think that there is many level of Hells and certainly there is a happy level where the damned pray to stay....😊

Like there is many levels of paradise...

And all levels of paradise or hell are inside our spirit, where else?

Dont fear and choose the creative freedom of love....

Right now I'm listening to Tomas Luis de Victoria's Requiem sung by the Tallis Scholars.  Wonderful *music*.  Almost as good as Allegri's Miserere.
