The history channel is airing a show tonight (February 5th) at 8pm called "Who Wrote The Bible". The preview explains that some of the text was left out and that they'll delve deeper into the subject when the show plays. I know I'mma watch it. How 'bout you?

I wish I saw this post yesterday. Missed it, but maybe they will play it again! If so, I will watch!!

'Even a junky, who is the wretch of society, is only trying to escape these realities; instead of facing them head on. Did you know that poor people are not the blame for them being poor?' negropolis

What about serial killers, rapists, molesters, pimps? The wretch of society is a title that I feel junkies do not hold. The tragedy of society, maybe. I have met a few of them, and was quite ignorant about them. They are not always what you might expect.

I just stated that in that manner to accentuate my point and my point was that drug addiction should be viewed as a sickness instead of a possession's charge. I'm sure you knew that; so why would you take my meaning out of context like that? You claim you met a few. I have quite a few in my family and I love them dearly. Just feel me and don't hate when I say somethin' great... Even though I don't mind to set the record str8. And I did speak on the ones who I feel needed special psychiatric treatment and sedation until deemed healed such as the sexual offenders and violent offenders. That was on the previous page, thank you.

'A "thug" stealing a wallet is a typical response for someone who is trapped in poverty. These things are not worse than dying for beliefs for they are dying in a poor man's attempt to survive in a world full of harsh realities.' negropolis

I am sorry that my post was not clear. I am not attacking you, and I just wanted to get the point across that, imo, there are many who I see as being wretches, but junkies are not necessarily so. In the quote you posted above, I see that we agree survival is no lesser a reason to die than any other. I have seen cases where runaways have stolen to live, and I cannot fault them. I support that choice over other means such as turning tricks. It is a privileged person's option to die for a cause that they believe in. In the world of the homeless, that cause is survival. The songs 'Changes' by Tupac, and 'Hunger Strike' by Temple of the Dog are good examples of that concept.
Peace brother, and thank you for your thoughtful posts.

I knew we were on the same page. I wish you the best...

I'm afraid a few common mistakes have crept into this post. Here's a couple of them.

Roger Pearse, do me a favor and correct all my statements. Your views are appreciated, because I do want my facts to be on the up and up.

I'd love to, but of course I only know about a certain range of things. But I agree entirely with your last point -- I always hate it when I read something and rely on it, only to find that the author didn't do his research. Doesn't help anyone, I always think!

Cheers,

Roger Pearse

The bible was censored to remove any indication that Jesus was sexually attracted to women. You see, there is a reptillian driven agenda to destroy human sexuality and introduce a hermaphrodite (which has triple-X DNA), and prevent Ascension from happening. All evidence of Jesus' interest in women was removed to make it look as if Jesus would approve of the hermaphrodite. Homo-socialists, the inventors of Christianity, Islam and Judaism, and any other society that has a problem with heterosexuality - such as single-sex societies - will simply not be permitted to destroy human hetero-sexuality.

Ascension is knocking at the door (someone's pushing 77 and he has repeatedly rejected the homo-socialist agenda). The homo-socialists are not going to be getting their way. I am getting sick of this, and I want things to move on. If there is anyone out there who does not like human hetero-sexuality, bugger off, and leave the human race.

Starred and Flagged this thread , because it asks a very valid question.
If you red the old and new testament and see how much racist /elitist /bigoted drivel towards Gentiles is still in there, then one could argue it wasn't censored enough?
Iam sure God isn't a racist , but the Bible writers certainly pandered to racist ideaology.
