: ***I once believed wholeheartedly, so I can relate to your position : and know that it is a good feeling to have something like that to believe in. : I remember the confidence it provided me, the feelings of security, and the : spiritually satisfying "knowlage" that I was fighting for the good side...

: I do not hold this position any longer, and although my "fallfrom grace" has : created many new obsticals and complications in my life, I would not trade them : back in for what I had before, blind faith. : There is nothing to it but a book of stories, many of which are based in part on : historical events, people and places. : This is my opinion of course, although I remember the days when I viewed the Bible, : and the scholars and theologins as having provided me with "proof" of Gods existance. : Now I sometimes reflect back and am amazed at the level of my past and even present gullability. : To bad there is still so much violence, hatred, and death in the world, which religion cannot solve, : or politics. And it is ironic to see how much of this suffering is as a direct result of these institutions. : I am glad to say that I am still openminded, and that the possibilities for my children to live in a world : free of these undesirable happenings is not out of the question. Indeed, I pray for this kind of environment : and attitudes to develop during my lifetime.

Unable to clearly remeber where and when I read it, a book written by Charles Berlitz or is it Vonnegat on the conspiracy to cover up the death of Jesus of Nazareth. Apparently, he did'nt die at all. Men realize the power of the events and and capitalized on it. I'll let your mind assume the scenarios of the specific coverup and it's results. So, Jesus eventually settled somewhere in France, married with children. In the 1900 in a remote church in France, I forgot where, a priest discovered old scriptures written in code. He had it deciphered by the military intelligence and was given the unspeakable message. He was paid a large amout of money to keep the message secret. If I can only remember the name of the book and the author.

All I know is that it showed me the possibilities of historical factuality and deception.

I'll leave it at that. Find your Genetics there! If you can that is.
