Dear Dave,
Please calm down. Nothing I said was an attack on you or Jesus as you seem to think. You have every right to believe every word in the Bible as true as I have ever right to ONLY believe the teachings that touch my heart are true. I do not believe Jesus was a madman as you are accusing me.. quite the opposite, I believe he was the only completely sane person to ever live... but he knew nothing of physics or engineering so I am not sure where you got that... but those things don't matter to me in religion and to me, yes, religion is more of a philosophy... why that bothers you so much speaks more of you than me.. it is my right just like the billion people on the earth, not all believe everythign exactly as you do and even those that consider themselves chrisitian do not all agree on the same interpretation of the bible. Yes, I came here to learn more about the Peshitta so I could get as unadulterated and uncorrupted a view of the teachings of Jesus whose spirit of how I should be as a person rings divine to me... if you want to bible thump me in the head every time you don't like my opinion as you just did, then I suggest you do it in church, for this is a forum meant for open disccusion, freedom of speech and opinion, and last I checked I lived in a ocuntry with those freedoms and freedom of religion so you have no right to dictate to me as it appears you are.. insult away if that is how you behave, but it is so unchrisitian of you and shows me you don't really understand the message that I feel I do from Jesus... yes, my guru <!-- s
