Was aware of the first nine.

If it wasn't for Jesus Christ the Son of God what would you have to talk about? Boring!

“One Solitary Life”

“He was born in an obscure village, the of a peasant woman. He grew up in still another village, where He worked in a carpenter shop until He was 30. Then for three years He was an itinerant preacher. He never wrote a book. He never held an office. He never had a family or owned a house. He didn't go to college. He never visited a big city. He never traveled 200 miles from the place where he was born. He did none of the things one usually associates with greatness. He had no credentials but himself. He was only 33 when the tide of public opinion turned against Him. His friends ran away. He was turned over to His enemies and went through the mockery of a trial. He was nailed to a cross between two thieves. While He was dying, his executioners gambled for His clothing, the only property He had on earth. When He was dead, He was laid in a borrowed grave, through the pity of a friend.

Nineteen (twenty) centuries have come and gone, and today He is the central Figure of the human race and the Leader of mankind's progress. All the armies that ever marched; all the navies that ever sailed; all the parliaments that ever sat; all the kings that ever reigned -- put together; have not affected the life of man on this earth as much as that one solitary life.”

I’m long past caring what is in the Bible, but still it is an amusing article. To be fair, most of the scriptures quoted are pre-Christian from the Old Testament.

A couple of things that Christians like to ignore: Jesus had his disciples “borrow” a donkey without permission for Jesus to ride into Jerusalem in order that prophecy be fulfilled. Huh? That and “The kingdom of God is within you”, Not much talk in fundamentalist circles about that.

As far as I’m concerned those fundamentalists can be as irrational as they please so long as they don’t try to force their stupidity on me.

The not eating certain water animals in Leviticus should cover beaver, but the Catholic Church issued a dispensation for Catholics in the Americas to eat them and muscrats because the lent probation of meat allows animals that swim in the water. To this day, during Lent, especially in Louisiana and parts of Canada, beaver barbeques are popular. I've eaten some strange things, but no beaver or muskrat.

Yes. I have much respect and admiration for Dr. Tarico!

Basically, anything they find inconvenient or awkward...
