Gee, you must have lost so much of your mind in your metaphysical ramblings that you can't even see the logical consequences of your arguments.

For you dumb firework argument is useless because, your fantasy fire religion didn't invent fireworks and that European pre-Christian cultures used bonfires for the same goal as we use fireworks today.

Genesis and Armageddon.

And not one coherent thought in that entire post.

Congratulations!

This is like watching a version of 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon.

We can milk far more entertainment from this if it's managed correctly. And that's what it's all about - getting the biggest bang for a buck.

Here's my proposal:

the next thread poster puts a word up

the poster after that puts another word up

And we'll amuse ourselves by seeing how long it takes for Raphael to connect the two words in the most irrelevant fashion possible.

Any takers? Cool with this Raph?

I'm with ya Raph, everything is connected to everything and the way you maneuver from point to point is amazing. I just want to see if you can do it with two words that came from two different unrelated folks, and sit back and watch you work. The obscurity of your observations is simply mindboggling, you must be well read. I sometimes avoid reading (books anyway) because I think it poisons some of my original thoughts.

Religion? I was raised Catholic and in 1986 in high school I wrote a theology paper explaining why religion would be dead by 2000. got an A on it. I was wrong though, it's more prevalent on world events than ever, go figure.

Told you before that I think there's a God that established the rules and started it all into motion, after that it sat back and watched. You find lots of clues to this. And as obscure the connections you make are, none of them really surprise me because it's all rooted in humans and their world. It's all the same. It's all unified. The manner it's connected is what's interesting.

What do I believe in? Me. Who should you buy into? You.
If that don't work we can move to Jamaica and woprship Jah or something.

If the calendar gregorian was based on the seasonal change of winter, spring, summer, and fall, then why do we have a 7 day cycle? I can't figure out how we would come up with that by watching the cycles of the moon or the sun.

The seven day week is known to have been unbroken for almost two millennia via the Alexandrian, Julian, and Gregorian calendars.

A seven day week based on a 24 hour sun cycle eventually diffused both East and West, to the Romans via the Greeks, and to the Japanese via Manicheans, Indians and Chinese.

Why?

So where did the 7 in the weekly cycle get started?

The whole world runs on it, it had to start somewhere.

We can always rely on Rapheal to connecting subjects with meaningless rambling.
