I thought so. I see it's run by entrenched and credentialed carnie barkers, LOM and AE, mouthing the mantras of the fake Greek NT and non-existent Snazzareth, where the money keeps getting raked in. Pablum for the masses.

Tastes like cardboard.

My God! It IS cardboard! ptooey!

Snazzareth was obviously a completely invented town that the Romans built 100 years later near Qumran just to add authenticity to the story they were perpetuating for the religion they were brutally attempting to quash.

Now as for the "Fake" Greek NT, I most certainly agree it is loaded with interpolations and edits and doctrinal edits, the Pauline epistles alone are so filled with potential alterations it's impossible to tell what is what, 2nd Corinthians may be just a giant pastiche.

But come on, we know that the REAL Greek NT was clearly written about a faction within the Essene faction that didn't even have Grain offerings and sacrifices as Josephus writes they did, because the book of godnotgod says so. Which was written in Gallilean Aramaic not far from Snazzareth, around the time Snazzareth was being constructed.

I admit I haven't yet read your piece about Josephus and grain offering (yet), but at a glance, it is a piece not by, but about Josephus, which is trying to clarify exactly what Josephus meant to say. So it appears to be conjecture?

Conjecture of what Josephus meant about what he said about the Essene's sacrifice. I'd copy and paste but I can't.

Yup! They had a hell of a time keeping them out of their yurts:


The term "Nazarene" refers to a member of the Essene movement associated with Mount Carmel in Northern Israel. The Essenes considered Mount Carmel to be so holy that none of the natural vegetation growing there could be disturbed: no trees cut, no bushes cleared away, no permanent dwellings built. Some of their priests lived on Mount Carmel in tents (similar to yurts) but no permanent structures were permitted. Even their Temple atop Carmel was a type of large tent, a beautiful yurt with a bloodless altar. Only a small contingent of their priests actually lived atop Mount Carmel, the majority of their membership lived in an Essene cooperative village a couple miles from the southwestern edge of the base of the mountain. That Essene village was called "Nazareth". Those who lived there were called "Nazarenes", as were all members of the Essene sect associated with Mount Carmel. Thus, the fact that Jesus was referred to as "the Nazarene" and his first followers were called "the sect of the Nazarenes" demonstrates the link between early Christianity and the Essene Nazarenes of Mount Carmel.

You know --- sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be stupid, wondering with dull, unknowing eyes without understanding anything that I see.

I just can't forget - no matter how much I drink or flee from the content of my mind - I can't stop thinking. I'm a victim of my own genius (and I'm using the term classically).

Anyway, my friend, that bull is going to keep crapping on you as long as you keep feeding it.

When you're done kissing and adoring yourself, and your ego self-destructs, you will, at that point, know nothing. Knowing nothing, your eyes will at last open, and you will begin to see. In seeing, you will be able to discern what is genius and what is fool's gold. Until then, your eyes are full of yourself, and you are blinded and hypnotized by the glitter of the crap you call 'genius'.

When you're ready to awaken, don't forget to leave your baggage behind in Plato's Cave when you come topside to have a look at real genius.

So are you referring to the source of your cognitive prowess or are you possessed by a daimon-like entity? Or perhaps your prayers to one make you a victim? :D

Ha! I was thinking of the Greek philosophical term "invention", which is translated as genius.

Don't bring Plato into this. He didn't sin enough in his lifetime to have you abuse him here.

It's actually heartbreaking to see his sacred words treated with such indignity. It's nothing new for him, but for Pete's sake it's not an excuse to shove him right up the bull's *** again.
