The Catholic trinity doctrine traces itself back to 1215. The Zohar was printed in the late 1200s, so it post dates it. I don't see the similarities, ...
People don't get the concept of the trinity because it is incomprehensible, and the Catholic Church admits as much. "On this subject of its incomprehe...
I was just looking on Amazon, and I came across this book. I've not read it, but I ordered it. The author's theory is that Moses and Akhenaten are one...
This is part of where your link from Akhenaten to Christianity becomes difficult for me to follow. The Akhenaten religion is being used as support by ...
That looks like the sun. Regardless, the picture is ambiguous in meaning and any conclusions drawn are speculative. In any event, I was never under th...
The question related to the influence of the Akhenaten religion upon Judaism is a historical one. Wiki dates Akhenaten to 1353 BCE to 1334 BCE. https:...
First, thank you for this post. It's interesting. My thought is that it is not controversial that there were precursors to Judaism. There are many bib...
Except that's not what happens in any economy anywhere. Assuming the majority of business owners cast aside all ethical considerations in the operatio...
Do you really think this? I mean it makes for a good headline, but do you truly believe that all those in the oil business, from the guy who works at ...
I think there's a bit of equivocation going on with the term "coherency" here. I take logical coherence as distinct from scientific coherence. If an a...
I was in a hurricane once and I was spun into a world of color from mine of black and white and the mean lady from where I lived that rode a bicycle b...

That an event that cannot be reduced to language didn't occur in any meaningful way. I don't think it means words carry pinpoint precision that cannot...
Word choice is obviously important, and in formal settings (politics, business, law), people are very careful how they phrase things. I would assume a...
But the French insist upon assigning a gender to everything and they don't use a gender neutral pronoun, so am I to assume they think differently of t...
I think you might be reading too much into it. We use words to communicate to the people around us and it's doubtful everyone is clued into all the nu...
And ships and nations are often referred to as "she," yet neither have personhood nor vaginas. We call hurricanes things like "Katrina," but I don't k...
Can you truly not see a distinction between having a pre-existing comorbidity that leaves you vulnerable to serious illness from an otherwise modest v...
This isn't correct. Prior to effective treatments, AIDS killed 100% of those infected regardless of age or comorbidity. Covid kills primarily (and wit...
I'd argue a behaviorist admits there is a mind separate from behavior, but its inner workings are unknowable. The mind is not just behavior, but the b...
There's a probably correct assumption that tribalism controls at some level and so people expect that someone of similar ethnic likeness will better p...
Assuming your request is in good faith and not disingenuous, and that you sincerely seek the wisdom of the moderators so that you can elevate the qual...
We have something similar, although it's a section where only the mods can post, but it's different than you suggest because it's a section that only ...
There will always be some element of subjectivity in what is and isn't low quality, but, as a professor explained to me once in response to the compla...
Puff the Magic Dragon holds special meaning to me. Despite all that is said about it being about drug use, I take it as a sentimental song about a lit...
My favorite as well. But you knew that. Reach out your hand if your cup be empty If your cup is full may it be again Let it be known there is a founta...
I saw this movie called Charley where this person had an operation or some such shit and it turned him from being dumb as shit to being a brilliant fu...
When did S go above A? I never heard of that. It sounds stupid. I give an F to the creator of S. Speaking of S, where the hell is he? Instead of ratin...
I agree in part and disagree in part. Historically, bright line definitions of race have been used for nefarious purposes. Whether it be the discrimin...

I celebrate my anniversary date for joining here instead of my birthday now. It's just that important to me. I think I joined here in the mid 80s. I c...
I'm nice as fuck. Like if you said, "Hanover, can I borrow your pants," I'd be totally walking around in my boxers just to see you happy. I'm not just...
How do you know that he and his family hadn't earned their position? Had he been black, would he have been similarly laughed down? I don't ask that rh...
I tend to agree with this. The problem as I see it, is that the word "privileged" has an air of classism to it, suggesting some aristocratic upbringin...
If you go into the briars, you pick wild blackberries where I live. They have sort of crunchy centers, so I don't really like them. There are also wil...

I'm sure those folks are appreciative of your thanks, but it's doubtful any of them showed up at work each day to provide you such bounty in exchange ...
This seems a linchpin to your theory, and it's false at least in numbers high enough to matter. If it were true, the economic or political theory we c...
If a symptom of Covid is fiery diarrhea, then count me in! If it's just the expected consequence of hot wings, then that. I took some Pepto-bismol pil...
