Just a question for you Mr Land...why is the Bible , which is such a Holy Scripture as you say.... why is it usually always "black" ? I have always wondered why such a Holy book should always come clothed in this color. Black , i thought represented darkness , ignorance , fear, evil, and satananic worship , and death. The color of the Four Horseman. You would think long ago, they would have lightened up it's color. Is it intentional, or just something that christians have overlooked for centuries ?

Mr Land how could a couple of posts in cyberspace be damaging to the Church and Christianity ? What damage Christianity and the church have suffered from ,is completely self-inflicted thru the centuries unto the present. From the Jimmy Swaggarts to the Tammy Faye and Jim Bakers...the phony piousness, pride, commercialization and shallow understanding of the nature of true spirituality . The threats , the lies , and supersticious ravings that you throw around here make you seem a complete idiot. After military service , BTW , did you happen to wind up doing any time in prison ? Alcoholism ? Drug Abuse ? You sound like you spent quite a few years...doing each simultaneously. you need more help i feel , than that Black Book is givng you....for everyone's sake , do seek it. regards Mars

The quote that Sherry posted in the "favourite quotes" thread was this one: A lot of people say to me, `Why did you kill Christ?' I dunno, it was one of those parties, got out of hand, you know. Lenny Bruce This is a famous quote, and it is a perceptive one-liner. What could you possibly resent in it? Lenny Bruce was a Jew. As a Jew, he repeatedly had to deal with anti-semitism--in particular, that age old Christian accusation that the Jews killed Jesus. His quote is an attempt to show the irony of a person needing to defend their right to exist simply because one of his/her ancestors may or may not have been involved in some activity. His quote demonstrates that, because of anti-semitism and racism...innocent human beings are repeatedly forced to try to justify their right to live...while the play itself is loaded by the impossibility of ever justifying oneself to the smug anti-semitic inquisitor. The quote demonstrates the impossibility of justifying oneself to an accusation which is essentially an act of racial hatred that by definition will not permit a defense. As you know, the gospels were anti-semitic, and this has long been used by many, both in and out of the Christian community, to justify hatred and crime against the Jews. Here is an example of the way in which the gospel anti-semitism has been used to further real world agendas. The author of this excerpt is one, Julius Streicher. Have you heard of him, Chris Land? This is a little excerpt from a children's book which he was the author of. calvin.edu What Christ Said about the Jews A peasant mother returning from field-work, with her three children, pauses before a way-side Christ. The mother talks to them about the wickedness of the Jews. "She points to the Cross, which stands by the road: " 'Children, look there! The Man who hangs on the Cross was one of the greatest enemies of the Jews of all time. He knew the Jews in all their corruption and meanness. Once He drove the Jews out with a whip, because they were carrying on their money-dealings in the Church. He called the Jews: killers of men from the beginning. By that He meant that the Jews in all times have been murderers. He said further to the Jews: Your father is the Devil! Do you know, children, what that means? It means that the Jews descend from the Devil. And because they descend from the Devil they can but live like devils. So they commit one crime after another.' "The children look thoughtfully at the Cross. Mother continues: " 'Because this Man knew the Jews, because He proclaimed the truth to the world, he had to die. Hence the Jews murdered Him. They drove nails through His hands and feet and let Him slowly bleed. In such a horrible way the Jews took their revenge. And in a similar way they have killed many others who had the courage to tell the truth about the Jews. Always remember these things, children. When you see the Cross, think of the terrible murder by the Jews on Golgotha. Remember that the Jews are children of the Devil and human murderers. Remember the saying: 'As long as Jews have been on earth There have been enemies of the Jews. They gave warning of the Jewish blood And even sacrificed their blood, So that the world might know the Devil And not plunge into ruin; So that the world might soon be freed Now, Chris Land: DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT LENNY BRUCE, THE JEW, WAS TRYING TO SAY TO YOU????

Instead of putting the teachings of Jesus into practice, Christians began a reign of terror throughout the Roman world. This was to continue down through the centuries. In the name of Christ, Jews were treated with contempt, hunted down, tortured cruelly, and killed. Do a little reading, Chris Land. billwilliams.org

It convinced me that the quote was from Lenny Bruce, an irreverent comedian.

Bishop--Again, you have not shown the post that got you following Sherry around the threads attacking her. Sherry is a good friend of mine. In so far as the post you cited, so what? I can not speak for her but obviously she is sick of you. However I am also certain she is not intimidated by you. My feeling is that if she intended any message by posting that Lenny Bruce post, the message was to you. Show me this post that led to your actions against her in the first place or own up to being a liar. Druss
