Snow Posted April 16, 2005 Report Posted April 16, 2005 Originally posted by Idacat@Apr 15 2005, 11:17 AM In this case I don't think you even need to engage in critical thinking of the degree necessary to examine the historical evidence of Moses as a "real" individual, even if such evidence IS non existant.For this you only have to get as critical as high school chemistry. Agreed, but every angle screams out it's absudity. Quote

Let’s get some additional opinions. How about Cal? Cal is unbiased. He and I usually disagree so he won’t typically agree with me unless I am undeniably correct.Cal, Is there or could there be a remanufactured element called “white powder” or “Orbitally Rearranged Monatomic Elements” that Moses smelted out of volcanic ash to make manna[/a], that is found in crop circles, was part of Jason, the Argonauts and the Golden Fleece not to mention the Ark of the Covenant and whose benefits include but are not limited to the following:-Restoration of Youth and Vitality-Opening of the Third Eye-Cures fungus and yeast infections-Opens the Gateway to the Next Dimension-Increases your sex drive-Allows for the Instant Manifestation of Thought-Lifts the Veil from Prior Lives-Makes your hair and nails stronger and prettier-Offers Extraordinary Knowingness-Enables Levitation, defying gravity-Enables Ascension,-Gives you soft creamy skin that resists bruising-Is a superconductor-Removes facial wrinkles-Cures methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus-Balances the left brain with the right brain-Stimulates the 6th sense-Develops a halo around your body---and accelerates serendiptiyOh, and did I mention that this white powder is sold for $60 in homeopathic form such that the powder is so diluted in water and alcohol that it cannot not be detected or measured?So, Cal, or anybody else... whaddaya think? Yeah, it's called cocaine! ! heh heh heh. . . . she don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie. . . . . .cocaaaaiiiiinnnnneeeeee. . . . . Quote
pushka Posted April 16, 2005 Author Report Posted April 16, 2005 Thanks Bizabra...my friend and I chuckled a few times, considering it might be the white powder of Heroin too!!! There are more facts about it's existence, but I must admit I haven't delved that far yet, online or otherwise, to show you the links, as to it's powers, perhaps they worked in it's pure state many centuries ago, when ingested, but diluted I agree it would be barely of any use at all...if any. If anyone wants to search out any more links to this, as the powder was said to have been discovered on a farmer's land in the USA and high above the Mount on which Moses received the Ten Commandments, in a newly discovered Egyptian temple, and was supposedly referred to as 'bread', although given different names by Egyptians and Jews, (not Manna, btw), and was supposedly fed to the Pharoas in conical shaped 'loaves'...perhaps you could post something else here about it...when I have less to do next week, I will try researching it a little better...:) Quote

Really?The JS story is no more fantastic than that of Job or Noah or Moses or Christ, or Paul, or Mohammed or the Buddha. In other words, it is part religious belief system based on faith, ethics, philosphy, morality etc.To compare belief systems of the world's great religions to a chemically undetectable powder suspended in alcohol and water that promises shinier hair and anti-gravitation for $60 and ounce is, um, well, thick-headed at best. Need I explain why?Maureen, yoiu typically don't make such cloddish posts. What's up? I wasn't comparing this white powder to the JS story; I was just using your wording in a general way to say that the same could be said about people who believe in the JS story (LDS version).And I also owed you a rebuttal post, so that was it.

So far, I've agreed with everything you've said about this top, except I think you might have failed to mention alchemy and colloidial silver.But....I have to warn you right now not to get me started on homeopathy, the ultimate fraud. I am continually amazed (amused) at the caliber of people I actually interact with IRL who actually buy this, um, snake oil.And, after you don't get me started on homeopathy in general, please don't get me started on nosodes and the anti-vaccination movement.PS- I think Pushka is being very gracious and I'd personally rather this not regress into some kind of "bash Pushka" thing, even if you are da boss. You know, the herbs saved my life, where the medications the doctors gave me, nearly killed me, and would have killed me (cause they couldn't even diagnois what they had caused me to have) if it weren't for the homeopathic knowsomethings who gave me the correct diagnoisis and treatment!!!! I'd be dead!Doctors and medicines kill ten thousand people a day. You can't say that herbs or homeopathic people do that much damage. The courts are full of malpractive against doctors, so much so that they are going out of business or seeking to outlaw law suits, replacing them with arbitration.So yak on .... I'm not listening.

People are not two dimentional characters where everything is either black or white.
