  The Encyclopedia of Biblical Errancy by C. Dennis McKinsey The Bible Unearthed: Archaeology's New Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of Its Sacred Texts by Neil Silberman Isaac Asimov (and any of his writings) Forgery In Christianity by Joseph Wheless Is It God's Word? by Joseph Wheless

  Are any or all good reads? Does anyone recommend or discredit any of these? I am interested in building a mini library up that way I have some good resources at my fingertips and am interested in getting just a couple really good ones. Thanks in advance.

  Whats the best internet music file sharing thingy....?

  by ScoobySnax in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  have been using morpheus for a couple of years now, and hasn't been too bad at all, got about 400 tracks download.

  since gettiing aol broadband, the diversity seems to have diminished a bit, either i'm on the wrong dsl provider or morpheus isn't as good as it used to be.

  the one i was on previous (can't remember the name now) went totally pearshaped after it got served a writ for using copyrighted material.....anyway, know of any other good music file sharing sites?

  Try Blubster

  I agree with points on both sides of the infringement/copywright issue....

  However for me it comes down to a few steps....

  First of all on all those file sharing you are going to usually find the top 40 etc with the artists that are already making millions.

  Second if you do stumble across some lesser knowns all downloading their music is going to do is make you want to buy their t-shirts...go to their concerts etc etc etc. In the end it is the best advertising for some musicians whose music might never reach the other end of their country but with this is raeches all over the world.

  As far as the theivery idea......music is art and art was created to be shared (This opinion comes from a novice musucian/songwriter artist and if I were to make it big it would be more to get my thoughts and ideas out there than to make money....the money would come from the live shows anyway)

  ok with the death of nina simone today at 70, i got to thinking about other great artists who have died.

  many would say elvis, but he wouldn't feature if i had to pick just 3. mine would go something like this.

  3. tammy wynette (stand by your man was a song that'll always remind me of my grandad who died 10 years ago, always makes me smile and remember him, and her collaboration with the klf circa 1992. justified and ancient.

  Some examples....

  They say say that they are different because they go door to door...well don't the Mormons do that as well?

  They say they are different because they don't celibrate Christmas...Arent there some eastern/pagan (or Jewish?) religions that don't follow suit with this as well?

  Can you come up with any others?
