    This is way too single topic for random babbling...

    Anyhow, it is mentioned in some text that my RE teacher keeps quoting. Some Jewish historian wrote something involving him, saying that he was a man who gained a lot of followers and was crucified, or something in that effect.

    I belive there was a book called "Jesus the Man" (I haven't read it) written about this, and trying to piece together the acccount from historical writings, and the dead sea scrolls (or is it red sea? I can't remember which scrolls it was), without dogmatic religious input, and then trying to get back to what the biblical accounts originally said, and what they meant by that, before the errors in translation and common misinterpretation.

    There is a great deal of information out there about the subject.

    I don't doubt the man existed, I see him along the same lines as I would Gautama.

    I think he is reffered to as the son of god for four reasons; There was a position he held as a spiritual leader with a name to this effect; He reffered to God as father or The Father; He claimed we all had the potential for divinity, and are all of the gods; He was very wise and also advanced, powers like those spoken of held by him are rare but not otherwise unknown. It was enough for him to gain sufficient prestiege however.

    Plus my grandmother says she remembers seeing him, so that's enough for me. ;)

    Edit: @Rotku RE I think means Religious Education, it is a compulsory subject in many private schools I think. That has to be one of the only things going for the public education system. ;)

    Hey, I am familiar with the Crow, but would've guessed "MAtrix" anyway... :p

    On the other hand, I remember someone adressing a note to me as "Agent *insert last name*" due to my usual attire....

    No, I meant Muhah, though BWAHAHAHAHA! does have it's advantages, it doesn't get the same 'What the hell?' effect.

    Muahhahaha! it shall be, then.

    I just realized, reading my dear DeathJournal, that I should learn to either use spell check or type.

    I am the typo queen.

    Bah.

    Things are looking on the bright side. It feels good to be in control of my life again. The realisation is so very strange, but when it hits you...

    "This is my life, and I hold the power to make things better. Others cannot do this for me. I can. And I just need to do it."

    Well, I did. :)

    Thanks Rallymama. Woke up at 1pm with a massive hangover :( but I don't deserve sympathy for that. I was quite a busy poster last night it seems and i've spouted out something about jesus :rolleyes:
    Oh well, may as well clarify (sorry Aik). There is an account from a jewish historian born AD 37, Josephus, later taking the name Flavius Josephus who did indeed make reference to a man who had been a preacher and died on the cross - I haven't read it but have read books which make reference to it.

    Thanks to all for the sympathy and thoughts -- esp. Chevy. I'm also really sorry too hear about your engagement, Maylovae. While I believe in love and all that good stuff, I just have to say that at this very moment . . .
    LOVE STINKS!

    AAAAGHHH!!!

    I first reformated my HDD's (They were completely messed up) and then i started to reinstall, but, to my surprise, the display driver disk was faulty when it left the factory... I did have to fetch and install new drivers in 640x480 mode... THINK OF THE POPUPS!!!

    I'm almost done now.
