Thank you everyone. How man can suspend his powers of reason
when death and after death is thrown into the mix. Why can anyone
say their mythology has greater validity than another's mythology
and not be reduced to cannabis like, hysterical, giggles and guffaws
that endanger the personal reputation of the myth believer him/her self.
"That 'Atman' centered dualism over there in that overcrowded Indian
country is silly, by God, just plain silly. Hell, haven't they read the
Bible. It's all there in black and white.....sometimes a little red
in that special edition....but it is there. It all checks out against
itself. Jonah was three days in the belly of a whale and rose again. What
could be clearer than that about Jesus being predicted and being God?"

I have and am sure you all have heard the dialectic stated in equally
elevated rhetoric. Thanks again everyone. It is time to stop shoring up
man originated, myth as truth and let myth do its job as high, literary
and imagist creative art, symbolic of man's struggles and successes. tom

Tom, I'm not a doubter, but you would probably really enjoy Bill Maher's film "Religulous". It's available on YouTube [video.google.com] />
