Subject: Post 274 A: Religious Dogma Author: teltalheart/moderator [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 03:14:20 05/24/11 Tue Author Host/IP: 98-159-200-219.scottsboro.org/98.159.200.219 Post 274 A: Religious Dogma It is a fact that religion has little to do with documented historical fact. It has much more to do with superstition than fact. 'It has served us well, this myth of Christ.' - Pope Leo X It was argued by professor Hermann Samuel Reimarus, between 1744 and 1767, of Hamburg, that Jesus was little more than failed Judaic revolutionary. Nineteenth century German biblical scholarship has dated the Gospels to having been composed at least a generation after the events had happened. This date is still deemed valid today. On April 27th 2011 the great tornado outbreak destroyed several churches here in the south. Would anyone care to say that was the work of God? Or that God, for whatever reason, was angry at churches here in the south? No? Why then should it be deemed the work of this same God when something happens to someone or some group or organization that is not of the same ilk? The Scottish Clan MacGregor is descended from Giric, or Grig, (Modern Gaelic: Griogair mac Dhunghail; King of the Picts, born abt. 818. Giric, a.k.a Prince Gregor) was the son of King Alpin (King of Dalriada from 833-841 A.D.) a.k.a Domnall mac Ailpin, King of the Picts, and possibly a.k.a Eochaid. The son of Giric (a.k.a. King Gregor the Great) would possibly have been Doungallas who married his cousin Spontana, daughter of the High King of Ireland. Thus the Clan Gregor had a royal claim on both Scotland and Ireland. This would probably have been the underlaying reason for their great misfortunes and turmoil during the 15th and 16th centuries, courtesy of and engineered by the English Crown. The Crown was first lost due to religious superstition in the year 885 A.D. due to, of all things, a solar eclipse on St Cyrus's day, June 16th.
