May I suggest that you just compile everything you have written, and all the things you think are the truth into one giant thread.
I enjoy your ramblings, not that I think that you're even close to the truth. I just enjoy a new perspective... Your thoughts as to numbers and their meanings coincides with mine, and you've made many references towards what many prophecies and books of the bible are actually talking about which I agree with.
I'd just like to see one solid body of work, instead of piecing together all of your various ramblings...

Thanks once again for guidance, I'm still having a hard time buying it, but the more I know about it the better. What exactly was said after the "why have you forsaken me" bit? Why does he forsake any of us? In regards go the second story, seeing is believing in most cases. I truly would love to say I believe, us atheists don't want to not believe, that's the biggest misconception I think, we just have no reason to run in blind faith alone.
Consider this example: In mathematics, if you owe three people $10, then you are negative $30 (3 X -10 = $-30). If the lenders then say, "We forgive you for this debt because we love you," then you are free from that debt by another negative. You have just had three subtractions of -10, making you three positives of $10 (-3 X -$10). Your debt is -30 + 30 = Zero. Jesus died a horrible death to pay our debt, walking us back to a positive value.

Is that quote from the film city of god? If so the movie was awesome. Would I be fair in saying that; yes I am a believer in there being higher forces at work other than man, and yes I believe there is cause to believe "death" as we know it is not the ultimate end for us, but isn't it also completely illogical to believe that one "God" or entity is the route cause of this? I mean like, who created the creator? And to say this entity has been around for as long as time it's self does not count, as when was time created? I'm an atheist in the sence that you cannot name or materialise this so called god, we can feel a certain something, but we cannot begin to comprehend it.edit on 16-4-2012 by Sinny because: (no reason given)

I just don't see why there has to be a God to influence love?? I have plenty of love in abundance, I love the rain, I love stray cats, I love the kids in Etheopia, I love how our planet is a green and blue gem in our solar system, i love the lonely hobo I see in the underpass, I just cannot love a "God" that causes so much pain and returns so little. What I can redeem the awesome life voucher after death? See the irony?edit on 16-4-2012 by Sinny because: (no reason given)

The average Jewish person will realize the significance of what is stated if they have even a vague realization of the Old Testament and some notion of the stories of the New Testament.
Essentially Herod triggered a 2000 year top level Leviticus 26 curse on all of Israel.
