Quote; Well, the Greeks seem to have absorbed their pagan religion and pantheon from the Mycenaeans, who in turn may have gotten it from the Minoans, among others in the region. The Minoans were a Bronze Age civilization that flourished from the 27th century BC. Since the Romans took their religion from the Greeks and did not officially adopt Christianity until the early 4th century AD, we are talking about at least 3,000 years.

So about 3000 years, give or take a few hundred years.

My question;

How long will people continue to believe that Jesus will one day come riding in a white horse to render judgment on the whole world?

Will another human rise up and take the place of Jesus thus ending his reign as a God or Son of God depending on which Christian religion a person belongs to.

You think perhaps another thousand years or less before people are finally forced to accept reality?

I mean, people can only wait for so long-----a few thousands years perhaps----but not millions of years before they realize-----I guess we were wrong and he's not coming.

i think cops are getting a bum rap.

are there some cops who shouldn’t be cops?

are some over eager?

It's a mess and needs to be urgently addressed.

I don't think that's gonna happen.

Millions of people on social welfare are never going to give up the free stuff. Society in the USA is going to continue to deteriorate until it one big mess like the movie; ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK

William Shatner is 90 years old but doesn't look like it-------Why?

by pistolpete in

i can't believe william shatner is 90 years old but doesn't look like other 90 year olds that i've met.

is it genetic?

is it lifestyle.

pistolpete

Shaftner, 90 and counting, as a fellow octenagarian, wishing him a better smile., long youth.

You know what they say;

Dying in your thirties or forties? “Just fuc*ing Tragic.”

Fifties? “Such a shame.”

Sixties? “Too soon.”

Seventies? “A good run.”

Eighties? “A life well lived.”

Nineties? “ One Hell of a Fuc*ing ride.”

The choice of being alone has never been clearer.

by pistolpete in

something i've noticed is that marriage was the thing for those born before 2010. but today's culture of divorce laws slanted to favor women has forced men to think carefully before signing the marriage certificate.

most of my friends have no intentions of getting married.

all of them have gotten vasectomies, so there is no chance of being blamed for a pregnancy.

ive been married 4 times--so far !

You know in one of my calls to replace a toilet, the owner was 103 years old and his wife was 70ish. I asked how long they had been married. I was thinking he was going to say something like 50 plus years. But instead he had only been married 7 years. WTF! That means he was around 96 when he tied the knot.

So I asked him if he was married before? He said yes. I asked him how long was he married before this one. He said 4 years. WTF!

Come to find out he had been married 11 times over his life.

I asked him if marriage was the key to living longer and being happy?

He said NO!

He said that if that was the case, the majority of people that are married would be living over 100 years of age which is NOT THE CASE.

He said the key to living LONG and HAPPY is learning to be happy with yourself and not needing anyone or anything to make you happy.

So I asked him; then why did you marry so many times??

He said; "Well basically because I like Blonds, Redheads, Brunnetts, -----and he kept on going.

He told me; "When your girl leaves you-----just get another one!!!!

Stan--you are going to live a longgggg Time-------just like William Shatner.

Over population

by mickbobcat in

so i see some very counter intuitive videos on how there is no over population issue.

that the world will grow to about 11 billion and stop.

well that would be the first time in human history that population just stopped.

pistolpete

Then, something major like major war, tsunami, pandemic, etc will happen and it will wipe out a few million people (Population control).

Something interesting came out on the local news yesterday.

The Covid pandemic has killed about 3 MILLION PEOPLE WORLD WIDE IN ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF

IN JUST 8 DAYS------OVER 3 MILLION BABIES WERE BORN- MAKING UP FOR THOSE THAT DIED.

IN 16 DAYS, DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT DIED------WERE BORN.

140-150 MILLION PEOPLE ARE BORN EACH YEAR------COVID ONLY KILLED 3 MILLION.

Cops staying in the force is like JWs that complain about the organization but never leave.

If cops feel the job is unfair----then quit and choose another career.
