I don't check my alerts because I like to see a really big number there, and I wonder if the site will break if it gets above 1000 or 10000.
Long story short: a red and a green are the same to me.
Color blind?

Not "just a myth". His work explains the psychology and necessity of belief systems in the growth of the human psyche and in relation to human history and spiritual evolution. His work brings myth out of the dark ages and makes them relevant to the present, adding texture and richer meaning to old beliefs.I take it that he was of the "opinion" that God and Christ is "just a myth" and that my entire belief system is "just a myth". Correct?

In actuality, if you don't persoanlly experience an event, it becomes a myth. What is not myth, is your personal experience and revelation within the context of your belief system. You were not there when Jesus walked the world, so the story is myth by definition. What makes it real to you (or anybody else) is what you experience.well.... isn't that special....... bottom line is, his opinion is still that my belief system is a myth. Correct?

History in general is a myth. Your birth may be a myth but your present self is real. You are reborn every day, in every moment. You are never the same person you were yesterday.Well I did not when my parents had sex. Am I a myth. WW2 - well before I was born, another myth?
So, you were unable to find a 'biblical scholar who said 'woman is simply a receptacle like good loam in which the male seed can grow.'Walter, the notion of "virgin birth" is based on the belief that the woman is a passive receptacle. Perhaps you should review the notion of the woman's role in pregnancy as posited in the "Holy Land" millenia ago. Mind you, science has progressed if thought hasn't. You would benefit from a correspondence course in mythology.
But that is why you are supposed to shame them, humiliate them, make them afraid...ya know let them know that God won't love them any more and they will go straight to hell. Beat it out of them. What EVER it takes.So if we ban contraception sales to singles they won't have sex, How silly is that
concept. If we ban alcohol people won't drink it, we all know how that turned out.
Ban cigarettes and people won't smoke, that too is nonsense and we know it.
What the hell is the matter with this feel good society, we can pass a law and all
the citizens will line up to obey it.
Has it occurred to some that singles, drinkers, young people and a thousand other
groups don't give a hoot about legislation or social laws enacted to have people
conform. We have an open society and people have some common thought on
what is in the social realm and what is criminal.
Sex, Pot, Booze, and other groupings may be illegal but people do them anyway
and sex is one of those.

Is your statement just hyperbole or is it you spewing your hatred of Christianity?
Allan Watts; doctorate of divinity and masters degree in theology, could read both Latin and Greek. Studied comparative eastern and western religious philosophy. He had plenty to say about the bible.Still waiting for a 'biblical scholar' to validate your earlier post.
