549 - Icarus And The Rainbow, (sings) "Maybe Someone Named Joshua Fought A Battle Of Jericho At One Of The Times The Walls Came Tumbling Down", Paul Is The Apostle The Gentiles Deserve But Not The One They Need

[1:25 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Fake or something got zapped hard
[1:34 PM] 
That's closer than it looks in stills
It's falling too fast for very far away
[1:46 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
It's a scene from Con Air when he throws the dead guy out the plane with a note
[1:49 PM] 
haven't see it but know about it.
[1:50 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Falling out of the sky 
RRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCKKKKK JAAAAAAAMMMMMMEESSSSSS BITCH
[2:00 PM] 
heh
The Rocketeer after his 15 second fuel burn
Maybe not...he would be smoking more
[2:01 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Maybe falling then igniting again made him go down faster
[2:01 PM] 
Wouldn't it be sad if it had been a history changing personal flight experiment and the fellow got struck by lightning
"I've done it!  I've conquered anti-gravity levitation and it runs on a triple-A battery!  This will change-” ka-RACK!!!!
[2:05 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
In front of a rainbow no less
hehe
"I'm up here, flying finally! Look at this beautiful rainbow to make it even better!” ZAP



[1:54 PM] 
Skeptical Meter at 9.8
[1:54 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
um it's in a history book
hehe
[1:55 PM] 
Even their pic labelled "Lost City" is basically a fair sized building
[1:56 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Why would anybody think King David did not exist?
He was for sure a king
Might not have been called David
[1:57 PM] 
(keeps reading) 9.9...
[1:58 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Hmm if there was a House of David
Wonder if they all went by the last name David
[2:10 PM] 
There are problems with Biblical history.  Not least the disparity of written word vs archaeological evidence, and that's before considering that a lot of stuff was written a long time after it was supposed to have happened.
There is almost nothing interpretable...and nothing verifiable...as evidence of King David.
I mean...Europe was literate and kept good records in a solid dating system when Robin Hood was supposedly around and no one can decide if he was one guy...three...many...never existed...was never called that, and what century he was.
Was there a King David?  Maybe
Yet even in this article they contradict themselves. 
They blanket it in a 250 years span
10th to mid 8th century?
"It's from the right period"
What...the "old" period?
10th to 8th BC
How many Davids were there?
Where did Solomon fit in?
This stuff is hard
hehe
[2:18 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
The Bible. The book of deeds
and lessons
semi history
[2:22 PM] 
Which brings the subject up against the people who want it to be literal history
When it's clearly not exact or even correct when checked.
[2:22 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
It is a lesson book
[2:23 PM] 
Like the Battle of Jericho
Biblical scholars know who was there and what forces were fighting and how it played out...
And so archaeologists went to look
And the walls had fallen at Jericho something like 3x in history but never when the people in the story were there
What do you DO with that?
Well...it's a great story so put it in.
"Put in the wall thing"
"But it didn't happen." 
"But it was cool."
"That was (some forgotten general's) thing." 
"Eh...illiterates.  No one remembers that.  Put it in."
[2:28 PM]  Mr. Brown.:
And God said “write about the battle of Jericho, son”
But i wasn't there”
You heard about it, right? I want to get the point across. Screw history.”
lol
[2:31 PM] 
Yes
"You're never to have a temple...so build one"
"You're never to have a king...but pick a bunch."
Lot of workings of Humans in the Bible
Think i blogged it Saturday about the whole Canaanite “genocide”.
And the study that showed that not only weren't they wiped out, they never left and are still there.
[2:36 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
God tells the writer “here is the point i want to get across, make it happen”
Then through the years people just keep copying it down
[2:39 PM] 
Still happens.
[2:40 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
The whole point - and it even says it - is to keep the lessons going
I'm not good at reciting where though
lol
[2:42 PM] 
Take The Lord's Prayer... Does your church end with the 'thine is the power and' etc?"
I keep ending up in groups standing there waiting for people to finish up a sentiment some monk scribbled in the margins of a Bible or prayer book once centuries ago.
It's obviously not part of The Lord's Prayer
Just started showing up in copies and recopies after a certain point.
[2:47 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Thine is the power and the glory for ever and ever amen
I remember saying that before
can't remember if we do it at my current church
So second nature I just recite it
lol
[2:48 PM] 
Mr. Comatose-Rote Brown...church goer
"Honestly I don't even wake up til after they do reading #3."
[2:50 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I think i subconsciously recite it when it is started.
So yeah awake yet not awake
hehe
I listen to the sermons



[3:18 PM] 
Lot of "Christianity" seems to be "Paulianity"
Can you imagine? 
Guy walking in to an apostle-team meeting and saying "Hi, I was Saul your oppressor but a light and voice said I'm an apostle now so I'm Paul."
I mean...what would YOU think?
[3:27 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
haha
[3:28 PM] 
(Peter) "Uh...hi...Paul?  I don't remember you at any of the...um...events or anything.  Were you standing in the background...or...? Anyone remember Paul?"
"Nope. I witnessed nothing and never met your Jesus guy. Sorry about all that 'trying to stamp you out stuff'.  Anyway, I'm really into this idea I have for a letter-writing campaign."
[9:31 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
"Hi, I’m Paul. I’m in the witness protection program, they gave me the job of an apostle."
[9:47 AM] 
Did some digging on good ol' Paul. 
Dude wrote or is in like a third of the New Testament on the basis of "Hi guys, I'm an apostle."
And they didn't all think much of him
And if you scrutinize some of the crap he supposedly says, he admits he's pretty much a liar and corrupt in an unspecified way.
Granted, a bunch of his letters are considered forgeries.
(sigh)
How does this stuff happen...
"You (Paul) can be the apostle to the Gentiles (because they don't matter anyway)"
Among other things.
[10:01 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
If you thought men were fallible today, just think how fallible they were 700, or even 1,900 years ago
In terms of them trying to decipher what's real and what isn't, what to leave in and what to leave out, and how to translate what is selected
Anytime you translate something from one language, to another, and then another, it's going to be F'd up
The gist might still be there but important details will be lost
Even if you keep the work in the same language, over 2000 years that language will change, and the meaning of words will change
[10:19 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
This dude called Joshua that later i will call Jesus did some cool stuff
[10:19 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
or Yeshua
couldn't even get his name right
[10:20 AM] 
Paul... Saul...
It wasn't even "Paul"
Paul is the Roman version of Saul...because Romans are idiots
[10:20 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
heh
The Romans probably called him Iesus right?
[10:22 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Witness protection program
[10:22 AM] 
(Roman Ellis Island) "Ehhhhh....I don't like how it sounds...  Welcome to Judea...“Paul”.  (stamps form) Take this to window 5."
Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Tyrone, Bubba, and Jude 'Stinky' ben Levi
