at some point
the message of "gods love, love for your fellow man, and respect"

turned into "shock and awe"

too many people follow the "shock and awe"

I am both shocked
and awed to learn this

i read an intersting theory about that*
shock and awe

it was the biblical 'Shekanor' (shock and awe) who destroyed Nebuchadnezzar with the MOAB in the bible

Saddam Hussain claimed he was Nebuchadnezzar reborn in many interviews

Shock and Awe used The Mother of all bombs - T.he M.other O.F A.ll B.ombs (M.O.A.B.) (as the army called it)

go figure..

i am fine good sir and yourself?

i have a distrust all religions as they seek to thrust their values on others.

i on the other hand havre a trust i my fellow man that, like myself, they will act with honor and try and do the right thing.

Not so sure about that... Maybe the right thing for them.

i got dammed to hell by a born again christian when i was doing my a-levels
i was on the student union, as was he and he bought all his friends into the tiny office to pray. afterwards i told him that if he wanted to do that he should book a room upstairs as i'm sure he wouldn't like it if the occult society started practicing in the office when he was doing some work.

he then said i would be going to hell, i said if that was what he belived then fine, but don't do it in the office or i'll report you.

we never realy spoke much after that.

The Buddhists are still pretty much like that
The Noble Eightfold Path is essentially a self-help/cognitive behavioural therapy course. And none of that bollocks about God or an afterlife to water down the message.

Lovely.
With the mistranslations and dogmatic additions over the millenia, I've always wondered how on earth certain people can take the "modern" bible so seriously as a historical record. Sure, it's got some nice stuff in about being kind and drinking too much wine at weddings, but as a history of the world? Pfft.

Guys, just be awesome to each other, and if there is a God, he'll sort you out appropriately an' shit.

This is true, but
Mark's gospel begins at the start of Jesus' ministry when Jesus was in his 30s, so it may not be so surprising that Mark doesn't mention the circumstances of his birth.

It is also true that in the earliest manuscripts the story ends very abruptly. There are a couple of alternative endings in later manuscripts - we cannot really be sure how Mark's gospel ended originally. New Testament scholars have debated "the lost ending of Mark's Gospel" for a couple of hundred years.

Mark was the first gospel to be written, but Paul's letters are even earlier and he wrote about the Resurrection, which shows that the first Christians believed it had happened. That doesn't amount to proof that it did really happen, but it does show that it was not a belief that was created a long time after the event.

Mark's paints a fascinating picture of Jesus, different from the other Gospel writers. Reading what he wrote is a great reminder that not only is the past another country, but first century Palestinian Judaism is almost another planet. Nevertheless it is possible to enter sympathetically into his world and gain a fresh perspective from there of the world that we inhabit.
