Being a non-native speaker, I don´t grasp the meaning of the last sentence in this passage from Henry Fielding´s "Shamela" from 1741:
I have read over the History of Shamela, as it appears in...

How can I insert an image directly into a post (that is, not only as an invisible attachment)? I tried to implement the instructions given in this forum (for example, to give an URL such as

I'm driving to the bank. My Camaro hums as enterprisingly as my last hooker when she counted her pay. That was the day before yesterday. I'm looking for a chick on the sidewalk: skin-tight leather,...
It is one thing to postulate a telepathic ability of humans and animals, as Sheldrake does (and as for humans, he is surely right, since I know two partially schizophrenic guys who have this...
Even more interesting than the appearance of the story in apocrypha is the question by which older ideas it was inspired. To think that the story really happened in the way it is told in the gospels...

Before touching upon comments from other users I would like to post the second half of my analysis of the vision subject. The text is like the one of yesterday translated from German with the new...
Part I - The Nature of the Visions
Most likely the author of Revelation never used psychodelic drugs, since it would not have been compatible with his extremely puristic attitude. The ´visions´ of...
Thanks for the feedbacks. New stuff is coming soon.
Whoever feels inclined to participate in this chain story may add scenes. Please insert ´laughters´ to capture the sitcom mood.

That´s a very bold hypothesis... Firstly, according to most scholars Gen 2-3 was written after the Babylonian exile, that is, in the 5th century BCE. So even if Bathsheba was a historical figure in...
Nonsense? In the Mark gospel, the disciples leave Jesus alone, see Mk 14:50. Nothing hints at their presence at the crucifixion.
In the Matthew gospel, nothing hints at any presence of the...
Double post, sorry.
Again: One would expect that someone who pretends to be the son of ´God´ resp. is believed to be such a one, would in the moment of his death express something more original than a pre-cut quote.

You are confusing something here. The first quoted line is from psalm 22, the second one is from psalm 43. So your argument grasps at nothing.
I think it quite incredible that a Jesus, pretending...
Hi Manichaean.
You know that Christianity is not my cup of tea, and that I´m quite doubtful about the very existence of the Jesus figure as described in the NT. However, I will argue now from the...

I may be wrong but it seems to me that you divide people in a rather black-white-manner: either one is believing in some kind of deity, or one is purely materialistic, deterministic and lacking any...
The burden of proof lies on the claimers of JC´s existence, not on the sceptics. The former can present only the gospels (which cannot be acknowledged as historical sources in a scientific sense)...
