Religion

I 100% agree. But this "revelation" is nothing new. It's what I've been experiencing as a member of the ELCA for 30 years.

Agree it's nothing new but still a good read, especially from the perspective it comes from. And more christians to their credit and the credit of their faith are also speaking out more and more.

Hey man, on the first day of 2016, we had three shootings where christians killed members of their own families..

Why dont you worry about them, as much as you focus on muslims?

The intensity, frequency and duration of violent acts by the two mentioned ideologies aren't even close in comparison.

Try again.

The most famous and successful of the scientists and engineers from the 1st century was Hero (Heron) of Alexandria, who was conjuring up all kinds of weird and wonderful mechanical gadgets and steam engines, that both entertained the royalty and dumfounded the faithful in the temples. The ancestry of Hero is unknown. He came from Alexandria in Egypt, but Carl Boyer, a historian of science and mathematics, has said that his work and mathematics demonstrate that Hero must also have had Parthian and Greek influences.

The date of Hero’s life and work is also unknown but extracts from Columella, a Roman agriculturalist, demonstrate that he was alive in AD 62. The current consensus of opinion is that Hero was born between AD 10 and 20, and died between AD 70 and 100. Hero is known to have been resident in Alexandria, Egypt, and probably studied at the great Mouseion (or Musaeum), the Temple of the Muses. The Mouseion was less of a museum or a temple as we would understand it, and more of a university, a center of research and education that included the Great Library of Alexandria.

Thus, it is entirely possible that one of Hero of Alexandria's devices was used by a new sect of Judaism in the 1st century, and this cunning device became rather famous in later centuries and millennia. And we can be fairly certain that this did indeed happen, because among Hero’s many contraptions designed for entertainment, he created several different trick jars and jugs that, through ingenious internal compartments, plumbing, siphons and air-holes, a magician could alternate between the pouring of water or wine from the same vessel. An original account and image of this device is contained in Hero’s treatise on siphons, entitled ‘A Vessel from which Wine or Water may be made to flow, separately or mixed’.

Forgiven is the excuse USED to clear the conscience by christians.

IF you made serious err's in judgement in your life, like cheating on your wife, then no matter of prayer is going to wipe that off the board, you are still a scumbag.

TOS.

You cheated on your wife?

There has been growing debate about Flavius Josephus and his mention of a Jesus figure in his important work, "Antiquities of the Jews."

hard to read when the first paragraph indicates a strong bias against the story of Jesus.
