...what is a miracle but something YOU can`t explain...yet? Photosynthesis must have appeared to be a miracle, until someone figured it out...how babies are created must have been a REAL miracle and mystery too...until someone discovered the process...BUT...does this make it LESS miraculous?

To the ancient Hebrews, clean water was a miracle..if they`d gone over to Nineveh they would have seen countless miracles...like something to eat besides bugs and wild honey.

The BEST times the Hebrews ever knew were when they were taken AWAY from Jerusalem...that would include finishing school in Egypt, Assyria and Babylon...and, of course, they never would have stopped making fools of themselves had the Romans not thrown them out of Jerusalem.

During their "captivity"...which is a funny thing to call it...they learned more from the Babylonians than their god ever taught them. They enjoyed life there so much...sort of like moving from Butthole, Mississippi to Paris...that when Cyrus conquered Babylon..and acted the part of an exemplary Pagan and did NOT kill all the Jews...as Christians would have done (and did try to do later)...but instead, set them "free" to return to that glorified dustheap of theirs...the vast majority of them REFUSED to budge...and stayed right where they were and had a damn good time of it among the noble Pagans.

As usual there be some Hebrews, like among any other group, who`d never managed to make a go of it...as they hadn`t anywhere...no, not even a tire shoppe...Hebrews, like our very own boys, who blamed their pitifull status in Babylon on the BABYLONIANS and were just SURE they`d build the Trump Towers if they could just get their HOMELAND back...and those few grairs DID go back...and fell all over themselves and ate bugs and dust all over again...AND said they preferred it too!

And they stayed there...making up fantastic whoppers about how they were better than anybody else cause they had MORALS and didn`t NEED soap...until...as we know...the Romans took them by the scruff of the neck and used their "promised land" as an outpost of their empire and a place to send people who needed a good scare...and sure enough...they only ever prospered when they were sent OUT of that promised dungpile again in 70 AD...and did very well for themselves in the lands ruled by Muslims.

Miracles are in the eye of the beholder and are dependent on how ignorant you are...there are LOTS of things I can`t explain...but I don`t crown my ignorance by claiming Mugwhump works in mysterious ways...I wouldn`t have known why the puss of an infected cow, when scraped into the skin of a child protected it from a terrible death...but I STILL wouldn`t have given Mugwhump the credit...I would have said, humbly, "I don`t know" and waited till someone discovered the process...ALL life is miraculous.

There is nothing wrong with ignorance...it is NOT the same as stupidity...it just means you don`t know...but not that you CAN`T know...if you work at it. But if you don`t WANT to know...then you`re stupid...and that`s a whole other animule.
