Resurrection

Kemetism, the ancient Egyptians, beloved Osiris was chopped into pieces and resurrected. Christianity was in competition with Kemetism, so I think this is where the Christian concept originated. My opinion only.

Most of the Christian Mon-theistic Concept was adopted, stolen imo, from the Akhenaton Era of the Aton Experiment which the Jews would have only too well aware of anyway.

I do so hope that each 'cross' is made from West Australian Jarrah, one the heaviest Hardwoods know to Australian Builders and Carpenters.

Not even a cheesy joke? Perhaps the laughs come upon cutting the cheese?

Triphid replies on Feb 9, 2022:

Ah yes the old "cutting the cheese trick," my 8 year old nephew is a consummate expert at that which is why we have all given him the nickname of "Fart Ninja, Silent but Deadly"...LOL

When are these yahoos going to be held criminally responsible for their sexual abuse of minors? Boggles my mind how people can still be catholic with this shit going on like it is in the catholic church.

Triphid replies on Feb 9, 2022:

Sadly, imo, NEVER simply because the Church of the UnHoly Paedophiles in Rome holds way too much sway in the worlds of politics and Justice. How else do you think the Catholic Church ESCAPED being put on Trail in the Nuremburg War Crimes Trial when they OPENLY Aided and Abetted the Escapes of so many High Ranking Nazis AND MADE a very HUGE Profit from into the bargain as well.

Imagine being so insecure in your faith that you feel the need to proselytize captive children.

@Sgt_Spanky Yeah WE contribute enough of that in our life-time anyway so why add more of it when we are dead.

I doubt if it would " ex .P.O.P.E the Benedict Arnold of German Altar boys" since he WAS God's ELECTED Representative on Earth therefore he is , in the minds of most Catholics, as PERFECT as their God is. I still wonder how many Altar boys were left as HIS victim in his wake as he sailed to the top spot as Protector of Paedophile Employees.

Triphid replies on Feb 7, 2022:

@SnowyOwl As I said, I have ONLY ever had 3 Full On fights in my entire life, I too prefer to solve a problem with words rather than violence but there are times when the opposition are averse to 'discussions' and finding a PEACEFUL solution and then the words need replacing with acts instead, such was the situation with the School Bully and him victimising a girl who wore glasses and who's parents could NOT afford to buy her a school uniform as well. Plus, I was always taught to "Stand up for a Female, be she girl or woman."

@SnowyOwl "Gone off" in the Aussie lingo means to loose your cool, chuck a big wobbly, bash the fuck out of someone or something, etc, etc, the things I have ONLY done 3 times in my entire 68 years of life. The first was when I was 10 years old and the School Bully, an arse-hole almost twice my size began threatening and picking on a new girl who wore glasses, I challenged him and his 2 stray mongrel Arse-lickers to "have it out" after school in the nearby park. I had him flat on the ground after only 3 punches were swung, the first from him and next to from me, after that, according to on-lookers it was NOT a pretty sight because it took 2 teachers to drag off of him and stop me from re-arranging his face, his Arse-lickers took their heels, so I was later told, as soon as their 'hero ' hit the grass on the flat of his arse.
