Lunar Alert!

[Tom]

The Moon is currently closer to the Earth than any other time in the last 70 years!

At his rate, it will collide with us in no time! :eek::eek:

Has Al Gore told anyone what we should do about this yet?

[EasyGoer89]

It's a perfect opportunity for whoopi Goldberg, Cher, Miley and all the other American hating pukes to get on that shuttle and leave, maybe the moon is 'accepting applications' for residents, their flight won't be as long if they leave today.

It never ceases to amaze me that the moon just doesn't drift off into space, or fall into the earth more rapidly than it does. The earth's mass is powerful enough to hold the moon near it and in rotational lock with it, yet not strong enough to pull it in quickly....time for Actor or one of our science team to jump in and explain it to us all...

Over time, the moon has been moving away and not closer.

It is artificial and has a programmed orbit. There was a time, on earth, before the moon. An independent thinker, like yourself, certainly understands the Vasin-Shcherbakov Theory.

I don't need your jesus god...I have my own personal relationship with my THOR, ODIN's son, and ODIN created the universe, and there's gonna be this great battle in the not too distant future called Ragnarok....and your jesus is going to do battle with my THOR, and My THOR is gonna be victorious.

And I'm going to sit at the right hand of ODIN my father, and I'm gonna be co- equal with my brother THOR, and we are all gonna throw hammers around forever and ever! Amen! Sounds like some bad mocking to me.

There are plenty more like the above-mentioned remarks. Too many to list. Also, I have omitted the anti-Semitic rants mocking people for believing in a Jew and his family.

So what does the above bad mockery reveal? Another poster who is the answer to the Humpty Dumpty riddle? Another who enjoys dishing it out to others, but is too fragile to have it dished back.

Oh poor you. Christian and Hebrew and Islamic religions mock you personally. So you are justified in your mocking. You must really be important for these religions to focus their mockery on you.

Since you labeled my post to you as mockery, let me ask you a few questions. Did I call you an offensive or insulting name in my post? I referred to you as an independent thinker, which is how you referred to yourself. Independent thinkers are not copy cats and are not bound by conventional wisdom. I gave you an answer to your question about the moon. An answer, which an independent thinker may be familiar with.

This is my exact quote:
An independent thinker, like yourself, certainly understands the Vasin-Shcherbakov Theory.



Additionally, there are testimonies by native American Indians about the time before the moon and also ancient Greek testimonies about this time period.

The memory of a world without a moon lives in oral tradition among the Indians. The Indians of the Bogota highlands in the eastern Cordilleras of Colombia relate some of their tribal reminiscences to the time before there was a moon. “In the earliest times, when the moon was not yet in the heavens,” say the tribesmen of Chibchas
A. von Humboldt, Vues des Cordillères (1816), English transl.: Researches Concerning the Institutions and Monuments of the Ancient Inhabitants of America, (1814), vol. I, p. 87; cf. H. Fischer, In mondener Welt (1930), p. 145.

The period when the Earth was Moonless is probably the most remote recollection of mankind. Democritus and Anaxagoras taught that there was a time when the Earth was without the Moon.(1) Aristotle wrote that Arcadia in Greece, before being inhabited by the Hellenes, had a population of Pelasgians, and that these aborigines occupied the land already before there was a moon in the sky above the Earth; for this reason they were called Proselenes.
Aristotle, fr. 591 (ed. V. Rose [Teubner:Tuebingen, 1886] ). Cf. Pauly’s Realencyclopaedie der classischen Altertumswissenschaft, article “Mond” ; H. Roscher, Lexicon d. griech. und roemisch. Mythologie, article “Proselenes.”

Do you think these groups held this belief of a time before the moon, while man inhabited the earth, as a way of specifically mocking an independent thinker like yourself too?

I don't respond to baseless accusations. It is possible there was a time before the moon. I refer to myself as a critical thinker trained in logic and think-outside-the box when necessary.

I didn't have to suck you into anything. You have expressed your private opinions about religion many times before and have made them well known. I posted your previous mockery to illustrate your hypocrisy of labeling another poster's post as mockery. You even revealed more about yourself with your so-called justification for mocking religion.

Yes, I disagree with your opinions but I do not find them unsavory, lets say I find most of your opinions off the wall. You have the right to your opinion, even if you think the three main Western Religions specifically target you for mockery and your mockery is justified. Again about liking you or not liking you, I don't respond to baseless accusations.

The mono-theistic religions DO NOT TARGET ME INDIVIDUALLY....they label and hypocritically admonish ALL who do not submit to their doctrines; and refer to them as SINNERS, HEATHEN, INFIDELS, etc, etc..., before the presumed MAJESTY of their GODS...I am just one part of that "SINFUL ALL"

I saw the moon tonight expecting to be dazzled, and it basically looks like any other full moon, just brighter.
The moon is an average of 238,000 miles from earth. The closest it can ever approach is 221,000 miles, which would be roughly 5% closer/brighter than normal. Many can't notice any sufficient difference because by the numbers there really isn't any.

First I hate to break it to you, people who submit to Christianity refer to themselves as sinners. I can't speak for the other religions mentioned. However, you are not specifically singled out individually or as an outside group and labeled as you proposed, in your above rant, because you do not submit to traditional Christian doctrine.

Second I answered your questions. Go back and read my responses. I never called you an offensive or insulting name in my post? I referred to you as an independent thinker, which is how you referred to yourself. Independent thinkers are not copy cats and are not bound by conventional wisdom.

In my opinion that is not mocking you, as I did not make fun of your beliefs about the moon nor call you an offensive name.

Supermoon 2016

[VigorsTheGrey]

"Today, on November 14, at 6:20 am Eastern time, the moon approached within 356,500 km (221,500 mi) of Earth, in what is scientifically known as a perigee-syzygy of the Earth-Moon-Sun system (perigee: closest point of an elliptical orbit; syzygy: straight line made of three bodies in a gravitational system)." From previous article, above.


I read somewhere that earthquakes are more likely during this syzygy-perigee period due to combined gravitation from moon and sun...maybe explains New Zealand quakes, perhaps others soon...

What do you have against hebrews?

[VigorsTheGrey]

Why capitalize PRESUMED HOLY but leave hebrews in all lower case?

What do you have against hebrews?

I don't have anything against Hebrews or anyone else, I just don't think that any Hebrew is, or at any time, has been, is, or will be, A GOD....this would necessarily include Jesus Christ since it is maintained that he was of the tribe of Judah, in other words, Jesus was Jewish, and so was Mary, and presumably Joseph... So if I am being asked to worship Jesus as God, then I am being asked to worship a Jewish person as a God, no?

As far as I know, Jesus retained his religion, which was Judaism. He said himself that he came to fulfill the law of moses....the geneology of Jesus, is apparently, very important, and we might want to get Boxcar's expertise involved here, as he knows vastly more on the importance of Jesus being Jewish, the lion of the tribe of Judah....but there is a curious aside that is also very perplexing here, that is that since Mary was virgin, as was impregnated without her knowledge by the holy ghost, it can not rightly be said that Jesus' genealogy came from his father's side, but must have come from Mary's.... So it would be nice to get Boxcar's view on this....or maybe....Showmethewire might, although I doubt he is wont to do so...

I hate to be a noodge, but Hebrew is a language, not the name of an ethnic group or a religion.

[Jess Hawsen Arown]

I hate to be a noodge, but Hebrew is a language, not the name of an ethnic group or a religion.

Hebrew has multiple meanings.

He·brew
ˈhēbro͞o/
noun
1.
a member of an ancient people living in what is now Israel and Palestine and, according to biblical tradition, descended from the patriarch Jacob, grandson of Abraham. After the Exodus ( circa 1300 BC) they established the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, and their scriptures and traditions form the basis of the Jewish religion.
2.
the Semitic language of the Hebrews, in its ancient or modern form.


Be that as it may, being a noodge is acceptable on a forum of this ilk.

Whatever...not what I was questioning...I was questioning why this matters to you and why it seems to bother you so much...that Jesus was Jewish.

It doesn't bother me that JESUS THE HUMAN BEING was Jewish...what bothers me is that his humanity is CONFLATED with divinity....

....In Christianity, Jesus is believed to be 100% human AND 100% God...AT THE SAME TIME....how this is possible, I have NO IDEA....it is undeniable that Jesus was Jewish....so when we are worshipping Jesus, we are worshipping A JEWISH MAN AS A GOD....I don't know how much plainer I can get with my communication....

....it BOTHERS me also that the Jewish people are not up in arms over this...do you know of any other human being that is worshipped as a god on this planet....? And he happens to be Jewish.....? Don't you find THAT a wee bit ODD...? And offensive......as a Jewish person, yourself?

I mean, really, who on earth equates themself with GOD? Why do Jewish people put up with this? This is blasphemy in the Jewish religion and yet groups like the ADL turn a blind eye to this......why?

Jesus as human and being Jewish does not bother me AT ALL.... It is only when humans equate themselves with God or presented as being equal to God.... For example, it bothers me when the people of south Korea act as if their leader is a god and worship him.... And I find it odd that god would be a Korean man....my people are from northern Europe.... And I would definitely find it odd if it was proclaimed that one of my ancestors was a living god...and I would voice my objection to this....I have a distaste for the conflation of deity with the human and/ or the ethnic....

If it can be said that Jesus was 100% human then he cannot also be God as well, it just doesn't make any sense....

.....if you represent the leader of south Korea as a deity and then ask me to worship him as such, then you are asking me to worship a Korean man as God, and I object to this as well, and I won't bow down to Caesar, or the czar, or to Stalin, or Hitler, or Mao, or the Pope, or George Washington, or the Queen...however any of these are apotheosized, or raised to the level of divinity, or to any extent of these being represented as the executors of a "divine will" here on earth...
