Sciences > Physics The various forms of energy: 1 of 8

Inbetween that duo you have another se... More..

Sympathetic MagicThere is a wonderful tendency in this universe for pairs of quite different things to mirror each other in certain aspects of their natures.

This post may upset a number of people, as the story it tells is enough to blow you away. It is about the true plans of Jesus and his forefathers to create a new worldwide Jewish faith. Keep an open mind.40 years before the Christian Era began, the Jews found themselves with a new king. His name was Herod. Jewish historian Fl... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Bible Study Were Mary Magdalene and Jesus married or not: 2 of 10
I'm really finding it so very funny how much publicity the catholic church has generated for the Da Vinci Code movie free of charge! Any who, reading some of the rebuttals by members of the catholic heirarchy has driven me half insane this evening, and I felt it might be a good idea to discuss the main point the church is so ...

Religion & Spirituality > Atheism & Agnosticism Atheism vs. religion: 19 of 47

I was watching a documentary the other day that looked at people who attended animal rights protests.

Was Jesus Married?Quick answer, yes, the bible says so.Many people have the idea the Mary Magdalene was a prostitute. Nowhere in the bible does it say this. The confusion arises through her being mentioned in the bible immediately after a story about a prostitute. In 591AD, Pope Gregory the Great (idiot) stated in his Easter ... More..
