what the hell is this guy thinking!?.
(reuters) - citing a classified pentagon report, the los angeles times reported on saturday that the bush administration has told the defense department to prepare, on a contingency basis, plans to use nuclear weapons against at least seven countries.
the military was also directed to build smaller nuclear weapons for use in certain battlefield situations, the newspaper reported.

on one of my previous posts, i challenged chappy to provide evidence that solomon palaces existed, he doesn't seem to have replied, so where are u,chappy?.
on a separate point i saw a film which mentioned that proof that jews were in the holy land was lacking,it also mentioned that when they tested for y-chromose(sic)and hla genes, both israeli jews and palestinians(sic)were the same genectically!.
strange,very strange
BB,
In your original post you stated that there was no evidence of ANY biblical history. ALL of it can't be proved. SOME of it can.
Solomons temple is one that no evidence has been discovered as of yet. Part of the wall of the 2'nd temple (bibical history) stands in Jerusalem as we speak however. Pretty strong evidence of "Biblical history", no?
I think the Jews in the holy land question you mentioned is referring to a lack of evidence of their 40 year wandering in the desert. If so you are correct. No evidence of such a large group of people living in the Sinai has been found, discrediting the Exodus story.

The Death of Free Speech

What did you learn in school today, Billy?
Oh, just the usual stuff, Grandpa. The teacher told us about the greatest people in American history. You know, people like Malcolm X and Hillary Clinton and John McCain.
Do they ever talk about the Constitution in school anymore?
No, Grandpa, you're the only one who ever talks to me about that. I asked my teacher about it and she got all mad. Why did she get mad, Grandpa?
Well, Billy, it's against the law now for me to talk about this, but I'm an old man and I don't care. You need to hear it. The Constitution was a very old, very precious document that had a great deal of meaning in our lives for the first two hundred years of our nation's history. We believed in the words written by George Washington and Benjamin Franklin and the others we once called the Founding Fathers.
Yeah, my teacher called them the Founding Outlaws. She said they all owned slaves and they beat them and I shouldn't talk about them.
Well, in a way I guess they were outlaws. They wrote the Declaration of Independence and started a new form of government. And while it's true that it was wrong of them to keep slaves, they gave us all a better nation than had ever existed before. They wrote the Constitution, which guaranteed certain rights by agreeing that those rights were given by God.
Oh, we're not allowed to say 'God' in school. You could get in so much trouble. My teacher says only fanatics talk about God. Are you a fanatic, Grandpa?
Yes, I guess in today's world I am, Billy. You see I believe as those Founding Outlaws did that each of us is endowed by our creator - God -with certain rights, and that among those rights is life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The writing of those words was the most important moment in our history.
That's not what my teacher said.
I'm sure she didn't. What did she say?
She told us the greatest thing to happen to the country ever was something called Finance Campaign Reform...or something like that. She said it happened about thirty years ago, in 2002, and that it cleaned up government. She said before that government was open to the highest bidder. I didn't understand it very well.
Well, Billy, she was right about one thing. That bill called Campaign Finance Reform was important all right, but not the way she meant it. You see, that was the year the people lost the right to criticize our government. Before that, a person or a group could buy time on TV or radio and talk about the record of a member of Congress. Or they could distribute voter guides letting people know where their elected officials stood on the issues.
Wow! You used to be able to do that?
Oh absolutely. But then something terrible happened. That right was taken away and the only people allowed to talk about government officials were those in the news media. The big newspapers and the big TV networks suddenly were in a position to decide who was a good representative and who wasn't. Soon they were the only ones allowed to publish their opinions.
Why didn't people fight against it, Grandpa?
Oh, believe me, Billy, some of us tried. We could still communicate with our elected representatives in those days, and we all knew that bill would pass the Senate if it got that far, but we never thought it would. We assumed that the House of Representatives, which was supposedly controlled by Republicans, would reject it outright. But they betrayed us, pure and simple, Billy. Some of them fought for the Constitution, but too many Republicans joined the Democrats and took away our right to criticize our government. And then when the president signed it...Someone's at the door, Billy. See who it is, will you?
Mr. Patton, you're under arrest for sedition and corrupting the mind of a minor child. Good job, Billy...you can take off the microphone now.
Sorry, Grandpa, but you really shouldn't say such nasty things about the government.

i was reading the above or some such title when they quote from a book that their is archaeological evidence of solomon eloquent reign.. what evidence?.
i understand from a tv programme that although israeli archaeologists have excavated throughout the holy land that they can't find direct evidence proof of bibical events.. (they does seem to be evidence of nomads/semi-nomads living in the jericho area),this may be related to joshua.
There's tons archaeological of evidence of "biblical events". Not all for sure; but a lot.
How many examples do you want?
what gives these duds aren't doing their house to house work properly.
this is twice with in two months that the dubs have pass me by , why?.
i just moved to las vegas this past year no body knows my address or that i was daed or dfed.. it is like there is a sign that says apostate lives here.. what you think?
Did you remember to spread the blood over your door post?
take a look at this picture:.
this is the picture mentioned in this article: http://www.stuff.co.nz/inl/index/0,1008,1059946a11,ff.html.
does anyone agree with the article that this is an accurate depiction of the events of september 11, or like me, do you think that the image and the events are totally unrelated?
page 1 of the latest watchtower magazine drops a bombshell.
in paragraph 2, speaking of the pre-flood world in noah's era, it states: "the world that perished was civilized, with cities, artistic achievements, scientific knowledge.".
link with complete citations and my personal opinion on past advanced civilizations:.
Flood myths aside,(there was no global deluge during the stated timeframe), what is a "bombshell" about that statement?
chappy
consider, dear brethren, these scriptures:.
first, genesis,2 verse 16 .
..."and the lord god commanded the man, saying,of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat.
Of course you're right RF when reading the passage literally. What I meant was that if the creative days are "interprited" as more than 24
hours then it would stand to reason that the day of dying would/could be likewise.
Zecharia Sitchen has written some interesting articles on the subject of the sexual inuendo. He implies interbreeding between early humanoids and an alien race. I'll see if I can dig up one of his articles. It's entertaining if you like that kind of stuff.
