I don’t see where you are violating any myth that I need to believe. There are many things known, unknown, forgotten, lied about etc. We have a wedding today! Our blue eyed, blond but balding son is marrying Lindsay with sandy red hair, big blue eyes and pale complexion. How’s that?

******* Important things first: Congratulations and thanks for our race!

****** On the “myth that they need to believe,” this was not aimed at Shari. You have never discouraged me from talking about the political history of Christianity. Shari, don’t put yourself in that sort of company. It is a scurvy crew. The Tradtional Christianity thread on Stormfront is full of them, and I am sick and tried of being yelled at there every time I try to talk about Christian history, which is an integral part of Traditional Christianity.

***** I like to feel a certain kinship to Jesus the man, whether he was or was not God. If you read what he said and know he was speaking in a society where a man who said hte wrong thing col dbe stoned to death on the spot, if you cut through all the endless Old Testament trappings and endless theological commentary, he keeps saying that one should cut all the crap and be good to others and be worthy, personally, of salvation.

***** That is why, through all the endless bells and whistles and Old Testament baggage, even athiests STILL put Jesus in a special place. That Zoroastrian sickness mpelding denounces is totally absent in the ACTUAL WORDS Jesus spoke. Not one word did he speak against normal sex.

***** That was the Gospel missionaries brought to our ancestors. That seven hundred thousand words of sick baggage called the OT was not part of it. That Zoroastrian sickness that said this world was all evil and a person had to spend his life starving and whipping himself and being sterile was not part of it. His message, to me, was that we should cut all the crap and get back to THAT.

****** But the baggage has drowned the faith. Now Christianity is all Man is Vile and self-destruction and paying out your tithe for the new church building. Whatever Jesus meant when he built his church on Peter, he did NOT build his church in brick or stone. But when I talk about that the “Christians” form an instant lynch mob.

****** One thing no one here can understand is that I am a Bible Belter. I have seen a Bible Belt ATHEIST almost get into a fight with a Yankee who insulted Jesus. Even a Bible Belt atheist knows his Bible. He sees a Jesus who was trying to cut through the crap, and the crap he was denouncing in the Temple Priesthood was twenty feet deep and counting.

****** We see the Temple Priesthood climbing all over him exactly the same way today.

***** I am NOT the Voice of Objective Truth. I am Bob Whitaker. “Traditional Christians” denounce me for insulting the baggage we have loaded Christ with. Those here who see the sickness Christian baggage has wrought denounce me for having anything good to say about Jesus. For hte latter group, the Voice of Objective Truth is not SUPPOSED to have Bible Belt roots, Bible Belt prejudices, Bible Belt reactions. Bob DOES.

**** I am not expressing Objective Truth. I am being honest with you about how BOB looks at things. That includes my circuit rider grandfather. That includes a respect for the real germ of the faith that kept my ancestors going through all the horrors of founding and conquering this continent.

***** Give me some breathing room, gang! I know both Testaments. I know about Zoroastrianism. I see the flaws in that and the OT bagage better than anybody I know. I criticize it enough to infuriate the self-styled Traditional Christians.

****** But I also respect the germs of truth there enough to infuriate those who concentrate only on the disasters it has caused.

****** I insult and infuriate EVERYBODY who wants to be insulted and infuriated.

****** And that last sentence, more than anything else, may indicate that I have something important to say.
