@farmerman,
Quote:Forget about Jesus. Somewhere a star died that you may live. Lawrence STrauss
How can we forget about Jesus? The Gospels are the greatest stories ever written and all the best literature is based upon them.
You are stuck with it I'm afraid. So is STrauss. It is the foundation of our culture. If STrauss wishes to start a new culture then let him explain what it is and how we get there. Knocking the one we have is no more than pulling out the tongue at people.
And only a madman would care a tuppeny damn whether a star died that he may live. If you allow that there are 200, 000, 000 sperms then 199,999,999 of them died that you may live. Your leetle brudders and seestahs no less.
Does it make you swoon, a little oceanic so to speak, that a star died so that you may life? It does rather prove you are the Big Cheese. Assuming a star did die that you may live. Which I would need some evidence for before I would believe such tripe.
I know who and what you are because we only differ in some very minor respects and I know who and what I am. And the minor respects are adjustable if the exploration of the hierarchy of knowledge is not stalled at where it was in the back seat of a Buick 6.
