Why did Soloman have 300 concubines? I guess God thought it was allright because since the Bible is inspired from God and God says nothing against the 300 concubines, it is just fine.

So what did Santa bring you for Christmas? Santa brought me the following:

1. Spidy Origins set, it is also a game you can play.

2. Spidy action figures, it will look cool on my desk at work.

3. Spidy remote control car. Been going through the dirt.

4. Ant farm.

5. A Spidy blanket, which in use by you know who.

6. Pocket watch, from Miss Know it All.

7 And other stuff.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

What is it about human sacrifice that ancient man decided that the gods needed to be appeased by killing innocent people? How or why has the idea of human sacrifice been propagated through various cultures through out the world?

Now, I can understand why ancient man or cultures dreamed up the idea of god or gods; to explain the world as they perceived it, but why did someone have to die? Even sacrifice childern so that you could have rain, or a good harvest. This kind of practice is seen from the middle east to the Inca world and previous cultures before the Inca nation. I have not read anything that would explain this. The other amazing thing is that the people accepted the sacrifical killing as a way of life. How can you accept a god that desires to kill people, or your childern? I do not understand that. Even in the Bible when God asked Abraham to sacrifice Isacc, ( I already know all the theological arguments sooooooo, do not enlight me--- I know) this just seems barbaric to me.

The other side of the coin is that the human sacrifice did not always work, there was drought, famine or whatever, but they kept on with this practice; why? In the Inca world people gave of them selfs willing, from what I have read there was an endless supply of people willing to die for the gods. Why do you have to die for god anyways, how does dying add to the betterment of god? Since god created you, he/she then demands your death for appeasment, rain, or better life for the rest of your family? This whole concept of dying for god I do not understand how it started or why people just accepted it.

Ok, I am getting flack from the peanut gallery(you know who). Yes the Bible is on CD, DVD, and the internet, but not on podcast.

I do not think a person can understand the Bible until you have read it in the orginal Klingon.

An impossible mission,
with impossible odds,
Glory to the Empire.

This is a good day to die.

When were Adam and Eve married? Were they married? Do not remember reading in my Bible that they were married. Fornication between consenting adults.

My last post has me thinking, updating the Bible to our culture:

1. Instead of " Sermon on the Mount", "Sermon in the Football Stadium"

2. Turning water in wine-- turning coolaid into wine.

I think that God should update the Bible to modern culture, and distribute the Bible on CD, podcast, and DVD.

Well this semister is done, and if feels great to have my finals behind me. It was hard taking 3 classes, but it was also challenging, invigorating, and pleasurable. I enjoy being a math, science person, learning the mysteries of the universe, why things operate the way they do, and understanding the physical laws that govern the cosmos.

Now that I have taken DE I think that I have taken the highest math course a person can take, now the rest of my classes are going to be science classes-- physics, chemistry, well I guess that is not quite true I am taking linear algebra this spring(I think this well be my last math class), anyways I will be taking physics( I already have taken some physics classes, but I need to pick up physics /w calculus classes) and chemistry classes.

It is strange, you get to a point where you just want to take your final, and be done with the class. Once that happens all the pressure of doing homework and studying is lifted from your shoulders, that is how it feels to me. So I feel great, I am done with that class, but the next day I start missing the pressure, and the studying-- just weird.

So what do you think about this? I saw this on PBS and thought that is was great.

This is really cool, Neil deGrasse Tyson is an physicists.

Well, I had my final for Chemistry Lab last night. Chemistry lab turned out to be more enjoyable then I ever thought, I started Chemistry with some trepidation because it had been a long time since I had taken any chemistry. I am glad thought that I have taked all my math courses, that just that made chemistry easier, plus math teaches you how to think logically and you can take that skill to all of your other classes.
