Not really wanting this to turn in to a religious discussion....

you need to get laid, you angry little man.

I'm not going to have a three way with you and the new wife, Levi. No.

[War Machine]

that theory makes as much sense as the original theory about the arc.

I agree with Jester on this one

Well how in the hell would i know what is locked away or what it could say? that is why this is all theoretical.

So who did this used to be and why did you change your screenname? Cant keep up with all the SN changes.

username change was atechnical issue related to the board change and email change at the same time.

As far as how do you know what is or isn't locked away, consider the aspect of occam's razor; if there were something locked away, it would need to require a seriosu reason to

A) lock it away, and
B) keep it locked away instead of simply destroying it

so you are proposing in general that there are versions of biblical scholarship that the vatican is locking away that, if exposed, would be damning to the vatican. If they exist, why would the vatican maintain them? And if fringes of them exist (like the apostolikon and evangelikon) the vatican would have a much clearer counter argument by producing them rather than suppressing them.

Why is that? Because the works are reproduced by scrapping together peices of what the vatican critics themselves have written about them. If the vatican has the originals, they could justify themselves and villify the critics! As it is, the vatican doesn't even have everything the vatican has produced.

He just needs to hop on a Nighttrain and come on down to Paradise City where Anything Goes. The chances of that are One in a MIllion because he stays Pretty Tied Up' hehehe

It's historical fact that the Vatican changed shit at their whim in order to contol the populace. Why else did they fight having their Bible translated from Latin which only they & highly educated people of the time (of which there weren't many) into local languages. They fought that shit with a vengeance.

I'd be interested in knowing what sort of stuff they have hidden away too. Much plunder from the Crusades I'd imagine. Crown jewels, etc.

[Jester]

.

unless the info they may be sitting on goes against everything they designed their religion about in their eyes. same reason tons of stuff has been hidden or edited in the past.

if there is not hidden info, then why keep it in the vatican? why not keep it in a museum for all to see? why are only a handful of people allowed to see it>

why the secrecy?

[Bassics]

Zarathustra?

Zoroaster may have been an influence but there is no evidence that the monotheistic tendency didn't originate in Syria and move eastward instead of the other way

although, it could be that one thing you and your billionaire financed mercs might find are things that the vatican has been hiding which would prove that zoroastrianism is of greek origin and marcionites where the first true monotheists...

Bash the hair bands all you want, but if someone speaks ill of T'Pau or Cameo, I'm going to lose my shit. Word up.
