I was just trying to make the point that I think authority and the desire to appeal to authority is the underlying problem.

Charles!!!! I knew it was you.

A direct, unavoidable and unsurprising consequence of appealing to any authority. (she was objecting to halloween costumes if you didn't realise)

like my tears for them, that have no comprehension, of why I'm crying.

While the OP vid and other pics and so on are barbaric - at least we can content ourselves that the internet has provided us with a powerful tool for recognising that the world always has been and always probably will contain all that is worst and all that is best about how human's treat each other. We're getting very childish about this these days - as if we expect it to be otherwise - and some of us are ending up very frightened - or unwilling to accept some fear as normal ... like this girl ...

Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

what is there to see? far in a dark hurricane an old figure leans.

Keep calm and carry on.

I particularly like the bit where she says Prince Albert decorated the top of the tree with an angel to signify its about 'one family' ... so pyramid structure with one family at top ... where's David Icke when you need him?

yes, and I am one of her subjects!

Oh and did Jesus behead his mother and replace it with a cow's head? I think we should be told. Go build a stone boat and float it down the Nile. ... and I do walk like an Egyptian ... I spend most of my time in bas relief.

What kind of asses are those?

Who are those hippies?

Stone. ST-ONE ... spirit, self-posited as unity.

I quite like Graham Hancock but I have admit that I threw Finger Prints of the Gods across the room it was so frustratingly inaccurate. He takes some good ideas from other people and writes readable publicity for them I have to say - particularly the re-dating of certain phases of early human activity. Sokar (Seker) is a mummified hawk or falcon god who was associated with the necropolis and in particular in the AmDuat appears in the deepest section of the underworld called the 'imhet' which means something like completely full of darkness. This is the part of the underworld where the soul of Osiris and the soul of Ra embrace/merge/unify which causes rebirth - so I guess this is where the reference to baby sun comes in. What happened with early Christianity is simple really. It lacked a mythology - and since the early Christians converted the temples into churches - they reassigned them to Saints from gods - but quite often the function , like healing or whatever was kept. Similarly some of the iconography was borrowed - such as the mother and child of Isis and young Horus becoming Mary and baby Jesus. In the same way as northern European churches took over the sacred places of the Celts, Saxons and Danes - and often the Saint was a thinly disguised god or goddess - just so Christianity gave itself legitimacy amongst the newly converted local population and subsumed any tendency towards the old religions into theirs. This is the same for the hijacking of significant dates like the solstices. This is probably because the early Christians didn't know when Jesus was born - although they did know that he was crucified at Passover - hence Easter. The problem with the jesus = Horus theory is that they are not similar at all and indeed the supposed similarities have been invented. the main myth cycle associated with Horus is the Contendings of Horus and Set where Horus fought his uncle for the throne over 80 years - during the course of this he tore off his uncles testicles. Now you show me where Jesus of the Gospels tore of his uncles testicles - or indeed where he showed any interest in a throne - apart from being mocked as king of the jews.

Sokar - mummified hawk - god of the necropolis. Also Sirius is Isis (the goddess not the Syrian terrorists). I like Bauval's work usually but just rehashing the old myths which clearly went into the building of the Christian myth is a bit lame.

You said that very pointedly.

The winner get's one point, the runner up two.

Yes I shall keep that in mind.
