Mars...

I'm a terrible at cutting and pasting....

>>Actually your Wizard of Oz comments are getting a little
dillute and pale, for my suggestion that we make Aristotle the Son of God for a day , is not so fantastic as the reality that large numbers of delluded human beings chose Jesus and Mohammed because they were promised virgins and lands of milk and honey ...and eternal life.>>

You know when we use words like insane and delusional I hope you know that this is in no way a judgment against any individuals. Individuals cannot be compelled into or out of what others may judge to be their delusions. For one man's delusion is another man's reality.

The main point I've been trying to receive and share is that trying to play the role of these claim and control Wizards simply does not work. And this not only applies to me and you, but to everyone! For the real purpose and goal in life as I am called to receive and and share it is simply to risk being exposed and open and transparent and FREE in ways that connect, thread and help and serve others. This is a calling that runs deep in the depths of every individual's soul. The yearning to be FREE! The desire to be happy and have fun and sing and dance and feel like a child all the time.

Now perhaps there are a lot of folks very turned off and jaded to where they would laugh off such a desire and vision. And that's fine, too!

>>If you take away from the formula of human history the thoughts and ideas of Socrates , Aristotle and Plato and what those ideas inspired...

then most of what you know as Democracy and Christianity
goes----> poof ! In a hurry.>>

Nope, for there wouldn't be a Socraties, an Aristotle or a Plato if our ONE Lord God in Heaven had not created, guided, supported and loved these folks. Give credit to where the credit is due. These folks were simple "the effects" which were made manifest in this world from vast spiritual "causes" in the heavens which proceeded forth from the ONE Source-end which is our ONE God who is the father of us all.

>>Wizard of Oz effect frederick ?>>

Putting these folks in claim roles is playing Wizard. The ideas of Socraties, Aristotle and Plato would have spead at all had they been pig-headed about claiming they were sources-end and therefor Gods.

>>OK , whatever you say....I wonder what it was that made the Children of God (Jews)hate the Greeks so venomously >>

Perhaps it was the way the Greeks embraced Christianity the way they go about building restaurants and serving good food - ie. with great passion, oganization, vision, heart and soul.

>>Fortunately or unfortunately ...it takes all kinds of madness to make a world . At least Aristotle brought into play some sanity.>>

Again, let's get these folks out of the middle. They are all individuals who are no better and higher and greater than anyone else. To think and believe anything different is insanity. We are all created in the image of the same ONE God who is the father of us all. We are all called to receive and share this perfect image of His divine energy, light and Love with others in this world.
