9th of Av: A Day Cursed by God (falls on July 20, 2010)

Thats funny.

You believe what the Bible says hearsay Yet when people speak of Lizard people ruling from beneath...oh no...we will not be having any of that nonsense.
After all David Icke believes he is Jesus the son of god.

As they shove that little aussie GEICO lizard in your faces and chuckle at us all while monitoring everything from the comfort of their underground cities.

I'm definitely entertained by it all

One thing to consider. Historically, prior to 900 Ad serpents and dragons were considered wise and the givers of knowledge. Post Hebrew Christians turned the symbolic messages into the demonic views they are today.

No. I won't give references. I have them. I researched it and I expect any self respecting Christian to do the same if he can move from a hand me down religion into a fully knowledgeable faith based belief.

Peace

There are at least two references to this in the Torah that I can remember; one is of Moses casting his staff down and it turning into a serpent and eating the two serpents thrown down by the Egyptian priests; and the other is of the children of Israel being afflicted with serpents and Moses holding up a serpent on a staff, as I recall (which Jesus makes reference to in the Gospels).

Both of these instances are to be understood esoterically as the Knowledge Revealed through the Vision of the "Son of man" or the "Vision of Knowledge" as it is referred to in the Thanksgiving Hymns or the "Night Journey" in the Koran.

a bit further back in the Old Testament. The serpent in the garden. It enticed eve to gain knowledge.

July 20th was my Birthday!!! I turned 18! it was pretty awesome! haha It was a good day, not sad or terrible at all.

Well, it looks like we all (or at least most of us) made it through another predicted day of doomb.™

Some day ("and that day may nevah come"), we may not be so lucky...

Until then, fellow gloomers, let us continue our morose examination of the decaying corpus of human society with as much gallows humor as we can muster.

Another post - another Ron Weinalnd clone! It's the 28th. Care to change your statements?
