...I have your words...plus my own. It would seem to me you could make the same charge against yourself...you didn't know Jesus and have no way of knowing what he said...I, at least, have your actual words. We ALL are forced to make the best assumptions we can...none of us know the people who write our history books...or wrote the bible...we hardly know the people we THINK we know yet for all that, we MUST live and living, for me, is thinking and talking and writing and doing the best I can to make sense of what I perceive...it is enough.

>We should never discredit people's beliefs, as you have discredited mine, until we learn people's belief systems are based on their own personal experiences.

...I assumed your beliefs WERE based on your experiences...I didn't "discredit"...I COMMENTED on. Why are you people so thin-skinned? Do you REALLY think you're ready to deal in the world as it IS? Like our people in Iraq are forced to do? Or must you have rules and pre-conditions before you can join and engage? I'm misunderstood all OVER the place...so what? What does that possibly have to do with ME? Every thinker, every artist, every philosopher...every scientist or visonary or inventer has been MISUNDERSTOOD...so what?

>I was once where you are today, until I had my EXPERIENCE. I cannot make you understand or accept MY truth until you have experienced it. So please, easy on the judgemental parts. Remember Jimmy's ARE YOU EXPERIENCED?

...no one is invalidating your experience for YOU. It's just that personal experience, devoid of any understanding of your surroundings, while it may be ever so pleasing and revealing PERSONALLY...means little to nothing for those OUTSIDE your magic circle of one. If we are to relate to people far from our personal experience, we have to understand THEIR experience...as it stands now, your personal experience and Kenfuck's and Aprims and mine, mean NOTHING to others...not till we enter THEIR experience and see and feel as THEY do...not exhort them to understand OURS!


YOU are not under attack anywhere...YOU are not being bombed by Christians right now...yet YOU are promoting a personal experience in which the founder of Christianity plays a MAJOR part. Can you REALLY not understand how this feels and tastes to those OUTSIDE this experience of your's...who have enough to do to survive their own, which is being made a living hell for them BY Christians?

>By the way, you have posted an old article of mine from 1992, "Assyrian Art and Artist" on your website. Why? Are you an artist or a wannabe artist?

...no. Neither. I didn't post it.

>So much potential.........

...it's a shame...ain't it? I mean you could have been SUCH an addition to the human race!
