    300 is not a myth!!!

    No, the Persians won that battle, but casulties were so high that they quickly grew weary of the war and were made short work of by the Athenian navy who was given valuable preperation time by King Leonidas's last stand. One point of note, that famed last stand was actually 300 Spartan and 700...

    Is Gnosticism anti-semetic by nature?

    Isn't the "Devil" nothing more than the adversary of God? Couldn't one then say that the Demiurge, through his imprisonment of our spirits, is the adversary of the inner god that gnosics speak of "waking up" through the achievment of gnosis?

    Does the State have the right over your body?

    Have you ever tried any of these substances? If not, then that is why you can't see how those other substances can used without endangering others. Its hard to see past or own expieriances. Sigmund Freud did cocaine, was he a danger to others (except for mothers eveywhere who would now...

    Is Gnosticism anti-semetic by nature?

    This is something I've been pondering for a while and would like some outside opinions, gnostic or otherwise. If the creator (Demiurge) is a flawed being that seeks to keep our soul/spirit/divine spark trapped on this material plane that it has created and the chosen people of this flawed...

    300 is not a myth!!!

    Classic Greek wrestling also took place in the nude. I remember going to see Troy with my girlfriend and telling her that the story of the battle of Thermopylae would have made a much better film. I was thinking of a more historically accurate depiction, but my precognition of Hollywood...

    Non-Christians: Jesus and the question of historicity ...

    If you are asking about historicty in general I have nothing bad to say about it, I see nothing wrong with the further pursuit of knowledge. As for Jesus specifically, I am of the opinion that he is was a real person whose deads where embellished and altered by the Roman Empire to fit their...

    Is this Gnosticism?

    I think one of the best ways to describe the view of the world that Gnostics share is to look at one of the key contributor's to the rise of Gnosticism's popularity in recent years (at least in my opinion), The Matrix Trilogy. Gnostics hold the opinion that the world we live in, this...

    Jack Thompson Blames Videogames for Virginia Tech Shooting.

    Jack Thompson is just an opportunistic lawyer looking to exploit the victims' families so he can make a buck by suing video game developers, publishers, and distributers.

    How should racial remarks be handled in school?

    I think we need to quit sheltering our children so much. We are turning out generations of 20 year olds that act like pre teens because mommy and daddy wanted to protect them from getting their feelings hurt. Kids need to learn that the world is full of differant people and some of them are...

    has G-D performed any miracles lately?

    I hope you meant 1948 , because 1848 was a little before the Holocaust. As for the SCUDs, anyone that has been in the military can tell you that it would have been more of a miracle for the SCUDs to actually hit their targets (they all probably fell short in Jordan or Syria) then to miss.

    University of Illinois drops Native American mascot. Are "Chief" mascots racist?

    You've got this very wrong. College's that use Native American mascots do not combine the many diverse tribes into one as you suggest, that's the pros. Universities almost always use the name of a tribe that was once indigenous to the region they are located. In many ways the colleges are...

    Texans were (and many still are) very proud that Bush is from Texas. They might as well have told them all to become New Yorkers.

    Why are humans so wierd?

    Exactly, our bodies became less hairy as we began to wear other animal's hides and build shelters. As for facial features, most changes occurred as mankind made his way out of the heat of Africa into the more inhospitable climes of Europe and Asia. The flat, broad nose that is helpful in...
