Satan then manipulates Paul to convert the Christian gospel of universal love into one that worships pain, suffering, sacrifice and death. The result is centuries of a Satanic church, with involvement in slavery, NAZIsm, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-87369628618155177172014-04-16T11:52:30.271+12:002014-04-16T11:52:30.271+12:00Funny how people will believe what they want to -
...Funny how people will believe what they want to -<br /><br />Jim Hickey struggles with a 5 day forecast, yet hundreds of millions will 'swallow it whole' from those self serving folk projecting what the climate will be like a century from now.<br /><br />JFK was a racist, misogynistic, junkie who had none of his program passed by the US Congress - no achievements whatsoever - yet is held up as almost a saint by 'liberal' America.<br /><br />A self serving, inaccurate, work of mostly fiction - a so called 'biography' of Norman Kirk - has just been published and has quickly become 'fact' amongst academics and socialists.<br />Indeed at Victoria University political studies tutorials it is being passed off as not only 'fact' but students are encouraged to read about NZ's greatest Prime Minister!<br /><br />(This despite at least 22 claims of 'fact' within the book being directly contradicted by the diary his secretary kept at the time)<br /><br />And on the '5 day forecast' front - there are serious doubts being raised by 21st century historians about the accuracy of 'legends' involving large numbers of historical figures (everyone from George Washington to Garibaldi to Mozart).<br />Doubts are being raised about the accuracy of diaries of those involved at the time, about whether certain events even took place, about whether newspapers of the day can be trusted in their reporting.<br /><br />Despite all of this - the need for caution about history and the ease with which myths can spring up - 1 billion people will accept 'Christian' myths and legends as being accurate without question!<br /><br />(I am starting to see how Hubbard and Petricevich got away with it for so long! haha!)Mr Lineberrynoreply@blogger.com
