    You cannot imagine the stress I go through just trying to get everyone to get along. I need a break.

    Yep- best to allow those bent on conflict knock the piss out of one another leaving the more peaceful people to create a more peaceful world order. Get some popcorn and watch the carnage.

    To assist you in the future, video tape it and put it all over youtube so they can see what dumb ass's they were.

    You shouldn't be the person to keep peace. Like you said, too stressful! Let them realize how ridiculous they are being. If you can't stand them fighting well, remember the stress.

    If people are that prone to fight around you, start egging them on....at least you will get a laugh from it;)

    In Catholic theology at least, one is never certain.

    Hence your responsibility to treat all men as though divine.

    Pure nonsense of course.

    ahhhh...so it goes back to roman mythology in which jupiter would sometimes traval as a human. in one story they turned him away, so he killed them all. thus jupiter was also a patron of travelers, since no one would know if that one knocking on the door was jupiter.

    Interesting.

    Lots of Egyptian pagan mythology mixed into semitic tradition too.

    Who was the immaculately born child? Osiris, I do believe.

    Absolute gibberish.

    i think a lot of the mixed symbology, with which christianity was later infected (being a primarily political/religious struggle) came into the writings when the apostles were trying to NOT DIE in the roman world.

    Yes Osiris....lots of similarities betwen his story and Jesus.

    Mythology is absolutely interesting to me. Love to wonder how people actually believed/believe certain things.

    That's an interesting take.

    Much like African synchretism in slave economies in the Americas.

    But I think some of the parallels predate The New Testament.
