I have long thought that religion is just a subset of politics.

Seems to me that telling other people what they should think and how they should live their lives is political at the core.

In as much as they try to control behaviour , yes i'd agree.

there are loads of similarities that is true, it appears.

i don't like politics either much.:)

Both religion and politics have funny hats, their own specialized language and their own versions of taboos.

coming from you, thats a little ironic on the hat front as it where....and i agree they have their own little peculiarities ,..........however i'm of the opinion that there's a possibility of a form of politics that is sort of, well, beneficial in back corner of my mind where i don't go that often.............with religious belief systems that postulate the inconceivable and the pretty much impossible I have much less patience.......

Thought you people may be interested in looking at these links.

I got this:
http://4java.ca/index.html....
well thats what its about then,


I think I take Hershel's view, backed by the majority of the evidence.

i got this,

Not Found

The requested URL http://blogs.nationalgeographic.com/...orer_adam.html was not found on this server.

do you have the complete url? Also blogs are pure opinion, and ought to be taken as such i'd have thought
If you don't want to read it fair enough the subject is very interesting

I did, and thanks, and I'm not convinced that some sort of backwards correlation to confirm the old testament is that valid about any thing really, especially the existance of god. never mind the god that modern theology purports to have an understanding of.

I've also previously looked at other historical websites about Egypt and remain pretty convinced that whether the OT is in anyway a reflection of factual history or not is pretty irrelevant to any discussion about god anyway. Or about as relevant as any other concept held by other old world civilisations, don't forget they thought the earth was flat, by majority too.

however an interesting read, and i note that the exodus decoded stuff was written with some sort of vested interest in proving that the texts the author holds dear were a true account of history, I find that a little disturbing really....a little bias there would you not say? Especially as most findings dispute that understanding.....thanks again though...:)

What hat front?

I gotta say, that's a charming picture you have of me. Where'd you get it? Was that you I heard outside in the bushes last night? I hope the cats didn't scratch your leg too badly.
 
Almost, I went in disguise as usual, I got this out of your security camera before I snapped you....just as well i had my cat resistant outfit on wasn't it?

That's after i avoided the claymore mines, razorwire and all that other stuff in your garden you employ to stop the fundies coming back to "reconvert" you.......


i did promise to be back to get you in a previous post (damn, does that mean I'm psychic?)
