I wonder if this technically means that the white Jesus and Mary that people are familiar with in those old paintings and statues are actually false idols? Just something I was thinking about...

I don't know about "false idols."

They're just erroneous portrayals, based on Eurocentric perceptions.

In my book, that is enough.

It's just that I don't believe in Heaven. I believe it was an empty promise to get us humans to behave. Either that, or standards to get in are way too high that no one really qualifies. Truth is, we all burn in Hell, Period. We could be using our resources to make our own Heaven on Earth, but noooooo.
We gotta find new ways to hate each other, find new ways to control each other, and invent new ways to destroy each other.

If Jesus would have walked into a Southern small town in the 1950s, I don't feel he would have been well-received.


If he had a political spin team behind him, he might have been. :mrgreen:

Rather insulting to Jesus, his team and the Truth. 8O

It has been said many times, that this existence *IS* the hell that is talked about.
Personally, I believe it.
Thankfully, there is a way out of this one.
It is hard to imagine the next one could possibly be worse. 8O
The possibility is enough to turn anyone away from becoming a "believer", surely. 8)

Depends who makes up the rules. Those who conducted inquisition might have burned themselves at the stake if they sincerely believed the nonsense they spouted.

Probably up to the 1960s. In 2021 he would be accosted by the local police.

Yes, I said that. But the mainstream seems to be ignorant of the fact that people who are following the correct dosage have been perfectly fine. The mainstream also seems ignorant of the fact that a version for humans even exists at all.

One can overdose on water. People have died from it.

Mark my words, once Merck's new version of IVM comes out, people are going to be singing its praises.

And paying big bucks for it.

I don't know how anyone can seriously believe that Jesus was white.

Take the vaccination, and besides maybe some side effects, you won't get sick at all.

I had absolutely no side effects from my first AZ jab.
I am looking forward to my second one in 2 week's time. 8)

I recently heard a report that studies suggest the AZ vaccine is more protective and lasts a longer time than the Pfizer brand.
If true, I will be having a belly laugh. :mrgreen:

I got the Pfizer vaccine. I'm not familiar with AZ.

The other state premiers took the astrazeneca jab, but the great moral hero, palache, was too scared she might get a blood clot, so speculation goes.
Women have a much bigger chance using the pill, btw.

She concocted a story about getting a tetanus shot because of a dog bite.
If true, it should have been the *dog* that got treatment. :mrgreen:

She then said she got the flu jab, so she had to wait.

Then, because she wanted to go on a unnecessary junket to Tokyo, she said she had to have the Pfizer jab instead because time ran out.
More spin than "walking the dog" with a yo yo. :mrgreen:

In my book, she is the most disreputable politician on the books, and there are some doozies. 8O

I guess I am a bigger man than her because I took AZ. 8)
