Astro-theology and dates concerning Jesus the moon god?
by Crazyguy ini have done a lot of research over the years in to jesus and how he related to other older gods and astro-theology.
many who have looked in to this before me have stated that jesus is a retelling of a son god.
they talk about horus and quote scriptures where jesus is alluded to being the sun of god as much as the son of god.

The new facilities at Chelmsford will not include a printery and we will discontinue printing at Mill Hill toward the end of March 2018. Therefore, if you would like to see the MAN Roland press we would encourage you to visit before then.
I'm genuinely astonished!
WTF is the point of Chelmsford. Can anybody link to the original publicity about plans for Chelmsford?

According to the Luke's account of the myth Mary consented in advance.
Is it more likely a virgin gave birth or a Jewish girl lied?

Does Following The Christian Precepts Of Truthfulness Lead To Nihilism?
by Brokeback Watchtower in"i am the way and the truth" said jesus.
also "speak truth to you neighbor and put away false hood".. this reverence for truth in christianity also leads to its undoing in the information age of science and technology.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/nihilism.
nihilism is often associated with the german philosopher friedrich nietzsche, who provided a detailed diagnosis of nihilism as a widespread phenomenon of western culture.

Venus you proudly live an evidence - free life. That is your choice.
I choose to ground my beliefs in reality. It is disconcerting to many people who need to believe there is a meta-narrative but the only explanation that fits with the facts is "shit happens".

There is no master plan.
Seeing patterns where none exist is an evolved trait.
Brokeback it would have been interesting if you had explained your idea in your own words. Nobody cares to plough through a copy-paste from Wiki.
In way do you think one leads to the other exactly?

Spain ought to grant a free and fair referendum with a sensible time frame to allow for a debate.
In such a huge decision I would be in favour of a majority of 60% of votes to trigger a positive outcome - yes I do think that should have applied to Brexit as well.
