A lot of what you presented is archeological evidence Mark. What you're missing is that much of it is attributable to Egyptian and Persian and Sumerian influences of gods and their scientific discoveries being brought forward as history. The bible is some 2500 yrs late in that regard.
Flavius Josephus was Jewish, (Yosef Ben Matityahu- jewish birth name ) he took the Roman name around the same time as he was PAID to assist in putting together the "book of books" ... Funny he would become a Roman being a jew when he was fighting the Romans as an army general as I recall. Money will buy loyalty.
Yet again you are operating from a point of ignorance.
I'm in love with stretch marks since, I was little ( I have never been little ) Age has some marks of righteous passage me thinks, then again I'm a texture nut. But, gazing fondly at the future of beauty lends itself to the reality, so keep it up!
Good! ...persoanlly I think it sad that only one week a year is set aside for such activities. I'm not pagan, but they have several seasonal celebrations, something that appeals to me in that sense of gathering together. I'm not converting here, just saying...
BTW I could be talked into some elfish role playing
My sense of god is entirely different from what most people percieve or speak about and my thinking about it is rooted in proven information, not apparitions and tales. I also hesitate to call it god, godness works for me.
We're all humans, a reasonable excuse for our failings; but the real question is, are we all headed toward the reality of being humane. Some things are intolerable in that regard. Information is the only tool we have to reveal any sense of god.
