Dino went to heaven!

Finally, the mystery of what happened to the Dinosaurs has been revealed.

After years of exhaustive study, scientists have discovered a whole bunch of stuff that was previously unknown about the great Saurian's of long ago!

Some of the remarkable findings were that dinosaurs were warm blooded, not cold.

They were possessed of a great intelligence, perhaps even surpassing our own.

They had an advanced civilization that, while not technical, was very advanced spiritually.

Scientists have discovered that the great Dinosaurs disappeared 65 million years ago, not in some great natural catastrophe, but rather during a Saurian "Rapture" where the believers among them were taken by God to "Vastool" and the rest thrown into Hell.

This would also account for the fact that there are so few skeletal remains compared to the millions of individuals on the planet at the time!

Christianity is Idol worship!

At the end of the first century C.E. The Alexandrian School of Thought, of which Origin and Clement of Alexandria were part, taught that there were three possible approaches to be taken to the scriptures.

(That there were already discussions of this magnitude and significance tells us a lot of the early Christian movement.)

The first approach was the literal translation, the second was symbolic, or allegorical, and the third was spiritual.

The first (the literal) was described as simplistic and solely for the un-educated. The second (symbolic) was the use of parables to convey a deeper meaning, and third (spiritual) was to transcend the mortal plane and bring us closer to God.

Unfortunately at that time, as now, the un-washed masses cried out for a ready-made, simplistic, popular faith. A faith that can best be described as closer to a romance novel than any serious attempt at theology and philosophy.

This is also the reason that the "Resurrection" was proclaimed as the basis for Christianity.

This version of the "Faith", when combined with the Roman gift of organization and brute force, led to the "Christianity" that has been handed down to us.

If the sayings and parables of "Christ" are examined closely with the purpose of separating those words that were actually uttered by “Jesus” from those that were later attributed to him, we see a vast difference in the context, meaning, and purpose between the two. The biblical words of "Christ" were indeed a direct reflection of their place and time, just as today we are all products of our time and age.

However, the actual sayings of the historical "Jesus,” which upon close examination shows only a handful of thoughts and parables, are so simple and basic, with such underlying truth, that they can be applied to the human condition of any age.
