According to the Gospel of Jesus
BREAKING:
AP, UPI: 27, January, 2009
Vatican Moles Break Silence on Hidden Gospels by Jesus of Nazareth.
An international group of theologians have been copying and removing long hidden documents from the Vatican and other undisclosed locations that the Catholic Church had repressed.
The Vatican has broadly condemned their actions, and refute the documents validity.
“These false documents are too dangerous to ever see the light of day.
“There would be widespread societal breakdown, chaos, riots should these criminals ever publish these documents. There is no evidence these are authentic documents, and to quote from them would be possibly end society as we know it.
We condemn them.“
Our sources say, these are gospels written by Jesus of Nazareth himself, who not only studied under the rabbis of his day, but traveled extensively during his “missing” years, and continued to do so into his 90’s.
They contend Jesus was a scholar, and left writings quite contrary to the Biblical Texts we have come to accept, in fact in most cases, contradict them entirely.
More importantly, they claim the largest volume of these writings, in ancient Aramaic, were written when Jesus himself was quite elderly, exposing that he continued to live and travel after 30 AD. His “Symbolic Death and Resurrection,” he claimed, was necessary to leave Israel and continue teaching elsewhere. Jesus’ claim that His Resurrection was symbolic has shaken the very foundation of Christianity.
His response to where his “Christian” followers were heading was not kind.
The volumes have been under study for years by this group of theologians, and the Vatican has threatened excommunication of anyone who reads the texts they have decided to publish. They have condemned these Gospels, and fear reprisals from people who may believe in them, and will be angered that they have been intentionally suppressed.
These are the words they consider most damning:
Let no man speak for God. Let no man raise himself to a position to speak for God, nor intercede on your behalf.
Following priests, rabbis or holy men is as repulsive to God as idol worship.
Further reading exposes Jesus’ love of studying under other scholars, but only as a tool to find ones own truth, including accepting atheism as valid.
The controversy surrounding the publication of these Scriptures has Global implications.

Commie Pinko Me.
I’ve written about Democratic Socialism more than once, citing shining examples of European models that work.
But really, I am a good old communist flower child at heart.
I can look at pictures of glistening cities, pristine example of architecture old and new, filled with lovely dining spots and walk to arts and culture and still be sickened.
I always wonder what their alleys hide, where the people serving the affluent there live like.

The “Great Generation” Myth
Most of us remember our parents, our grandparents through the halcyon lenses of their own fictions.
“Back in our day…”
Really, we know it wasn’t all Wally and the Beav, yet we somehow long for that small town sense of community that we knew as children. Those “great” days, “great men” are our heroes and stories.
I’m sorry, but Rockwell’s America was a nightmare for everyone but white, religious men.
The same human flaws, failings and horrors that we see as the visage of this age existed then too, they were just hidden, covered up to protect the illusion of white male perfection.
I prefer to be blinded by the light to suffocation under the sounds of silence.

Dear SHGirl, from America
Wow, only a couple days, and look at all the replies I got on my first post “I Want to go to America”!!!!!
Some were kind of funny. I know how to swim. Dang.
Splashbaby, Iowa:
Wow, skankhatergirl. Are there bombs blowing up every day where you live? That must be scary. Its so safe here. What is Israel like? I like to swim a lot, I’m going to be on the Swim Team when I get to High School. Are there lakes and pools there? Or is it a big desert? I’d love to be your friend!!! I’ll teach you to swim. I’d love to go to a rave but my parents would totally kill me for that. But we have dances at our Jr High that are kewl too. You could come to those.
PS: Who do you think is thehottest band?
Some were really mean.
L.A.Starr367, California:
Don’t come to LA. There’s too many of dark people here already. Some Chicano skank stole my boyfriend, and we already hate the immigrants we got. Why can’t we white people stick together? I waz gonna kick her butt, but my old boyfriend stuck up for her, and so did my former so-called best friends. They called me hater. They ain’t ever seen hate like I’m gonna give them. Like I said, don’t come to my school, we don’t need no Jew girls either.
Sounds like SHE is skankier than the Skank at my school. OK, LA is out. But, I only got the one like that, the rest were nice.

I Want to go to America!
Welcome to my blog. I’m skankhatergirl. I can’t use my real name but I know my friends at my school who read this will know who that means.
I’m kind of a myspace, facebook junkie, and I love reading American blogs from other kids like me. But really, they haven’t got much to complain about compared to me.
That’s not me, my hair is shorter, but I really like the picture. I hope they are writing “Peace” but the prints too small to tell.
Being a teenager in Israel sucks. Especially when your parents are not what you call mainstream.
In a couple of years, I have to do my military service. It sucks. My parents don’t want me to go either, but a lot of people they work with are very hard line.
I guess, like Americans hate their neo-cons, my parents are really getting sick of the war party leading our country.

Saturday Night Humor.
My son called me into his room to ask me what “Douche” meant.
I immediately had feelings of guilt, thinking he may of heard it from me.
Not so much.
Apparently Friday he got called into the Principal’s office for having had said it on the playground.
4th grader, 9 yrs. He had no idea why the Principal pulled him aside to :talk” after recess.
“Where did you learn this word, DOUCHE?”

2008: Goodbye to the abortion that lived.
A Rant…
Seriously, I cannot think of one think to be proud of in this year gone by on a National level, other than the fact we elected a Black American in our still deeply racist country.
Not that he is indicative of any Black person I know, and will do anything whatsofucking ever to help their plight.
The only remotely positive thing is “The End of an Error” and the fact that the ring may have been sliced, albeit briefly, from Gollums hand.
My son gave me the button he bought last year with his own money for Christmas in celebration. It was his favorite button.
But still, this year is a MONUMENT to monstrosity, man, with no end in sight….

A Coal Day in Hell
God works in Mysterious Ways
Right as they are on the brink of selling “Clean Coal Technology” to the American Public, Kingston Tennessee gets buried in 300 million tonnes of coal sludge. Its now in the watershed.
Have a nice fucking day, morons. Nothing like cadmium in your water cocktail with a nice fat lead stick to swizzle it and a sprinkle of mercury bits on the brown foam topping.
For the sake of a job, you have been poisoning yourselves, your children and grandchildren for a hundred years. How long will the denizens of Tennessee, West Virginia and Kentucky put up with Coal Mining not only for its irresponsible lack of environmental control, when will they figure out its just a bad overall idea, plain and simple?
Whether or not you believe in God, this is one of those moments where you have to think “Instant Karma” and think it a grand scale wake the fuck up call.
“Clean” coal is like saying “Dry” rain.
Proof of both is now soaking the Earth.

Inaugural “Security” Question
Yesterday I opined in an essay called “The Shelf Life of Paranoia” the demeaning and infuriating invasion of privacy that is the consummation of years of paranoia building and the Bush Doctrine that treats us as potential enemies within our own borders was wrong on every level and a result of Paranoia.
Then asqv asked the perfect question bringing everything I had said into the realm of serious doubt.
“Paranoia or Security?”
She was referring, of course, to the Inaugural Event for Barack Obama, and the seemingly highly restrictive precautions being required for those who wished to attend.
I had to ask myself if I had double standards, or a definition so vague as to not be considered a standard at all.
