Thanks, Min! Meh, I don't worry so much about spam. Gmail's filters work as well as any I've seen. Now that you sent it, though... I'll go back and edit it out of my post. No reason to tempt it.

Ooh! I want it. Can I have a copy, please? [email address removed - take that spammers!]

BTW, I've since found my online versions of "Misquoting Jesus" in which Ehrman begins his discussion of why the NT is bullshit and "Lost Christianities" in which Ehrman explains how Constantine's thugs eliminated the opposition put forward by various heretics. If you want these just sing out.

- In your view, what is god?

God is the creator of the world and everything in it.

- What does god do?

He guides us,if we ask.And he's always there in the background,ready for us.

- Are you religious? If so do you follow all of it?

Very much so.I don't follow all of it because I try to keep it simple.Most of it is unnecessary.The old testament makes hardly any sense to me,and basically I just follow Jesus.If he was here he would be very annoyed at what has been made of his teachings.

- Anything else?

Yes.I think it's very easy to get to heaven.Just love your neighbour,don't do stupid things,and just behave and try to be aware of what's going on around you and keep your head on.And express yourself because god made us in his image,and you should just do whatever you want to do,within the limits.You should enjoy the fruits of life.

Do you believe Jesus is the Son of God or are you just following the teachings of a man?

Paul, I sent them out. Let me know what arrives.


@ Tav. I still need you to double-check that e-mail addy.

[Paul the Human]

I have received 'Jesus Interrupted' and 'Lost Christianities'. Did you send a copy of 'Misquoting Jesus'? If so, it has not arrived (yes, I checked my spam folder).

Thanks a lot, Min. Now I've got some interesting reading to do.
