Guest guest Posted November 30, 1999 Report Share Posted November 30, 1999 Hi there Ya'll, Oh how I would love to hear Dan Sing, (Loud! ) his rhetoric has a hollow ring--echoing~~~~ without going out on a limb, rather slim. Re-acting, not acting, a pragmatist perhaps? Religion and Politics, the twin beasts- are what creates wars, not philosophy. The more things change, the more they stay the same. The Old Testiment, proclaims a new order, in 1st. Isaiah, Yahweh has a name change. And if Yahweh had defeated the monsters of chaos in primordial time, it would be a simple matter for him to redeem the exiled Isralites. Seeing the similarity between the Exodus Myth & the Pagan Tales of victory over watery chaos at the begining of time, second-Isaiah urged his people to look forward confidently to victory of Baal over Lotan, the sea-monster of Canaanite creation mythology, who was also called Rahab, the crocodile (tannin ) and the Abyss. (tehom ) " Awake, awake! clothe yourself in strength, arm of Yahweh, Awake, as in the past, in times of generations long ago. Did you not split Rahab in two, and pierce the Dragon (tannin ) through? Did you not dry up the sea, the waters of the great Abyss (tehom ) to make the seabed a road for the redeemed to cross? " There are hundreds of instances where both Hebrew and Christian scriptures have plagiarized the Pagan tradition. But then--- there is nothing New under the Sun. And that goes for politics also. " What profit it a man, if he gain the world, and looses his soul? ( Question to a Republican )? ha! My respects to Reagan, who was 'out of the loop' after giving his Proxy to Ollie North. Drug running for the President. ha! Go in Peace my Boy!--- S.C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
