NO GOD BUT GOD
[tags: Monotheism:  Judaism, Christianity, Islam]
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1525227/

Excerpts:

Abraham tomb is in Hebron
a Philistinaian control town in the west-bank.


Monotheism began with the choice...
gods.



JUDAISM

And this God has complex and intriguing character...

But He is first and foremost a jealous God.


Accroding to the Bible,
3000 people were killed that day (calf worship)
it was monothesim first recoreded massacre.

It was here (Jerusalem)
And here alone when God was Israel
could be worshiped to full extent.
This was the monotheism taken to the ultimate conclusion.

One God worshiped by one people
in one city in one temple.

There's nothing quite like it
before or since in the history of religion.

They were afraid the Temble will become the object of worship on his own right
a kind of golden calf build in bricks and water.

... The pattern of invasions, defeat and exile were
played out again and agian in the land of Israel
for more than 700 years.
After the Assyrians came the Babylonian,
after the Babylonian came the Persian,
and then the Greeks, and finally the Romans.





CHRISTIANITY


Christianity is the direct descended of Judiaism,
it started out as Jewish Cult,
and the first Chrisitains were Jews.

It was Paul - one of Jesus's disciple,
who took the Jewish cult of Chrisitianity
and brought it to non-jewish or gentile world ...

Constantine was the first Christian emperor.




ISLAM

The word Islam means peace,
it means surredner, it means acceptance...
it means a lot of things.
But essentially it means 'surrender.'
So the essence of Islam is submission to the will of God.



Shiite's believe that the example of Ali
and his martyr son Hussain provide the only
certain pathway to Allah.

Shitte's believe God chose prophet's son in law Ali
to succeed Muhammad as Imam - the spiritual and political leader of Imam.
But in the power struglle of following the Prophet's steps
Ali and his family were pushed aside.

... that's the question that devides the Islam this day.



Ashrah commomorates the decisve phase in struggle of control of Islam
The Death of Ali's son Hussain
in the battle of Karbala,
outnumbered, surrounded, and dying of thirst,
Hussain and his followers refused to surrender,
and was slaughtered.

YA HUSSAIN YA HUSSAIN YA HUSSAIN ...



Jurisdiction interpretation and Spiritual interpretation of Islam
There are two trends of Islam
the juristic interpretation of Islam and the spiritual interpretation of Islam.
The juristic interpretation - people who emphasise the rule of conduct
the form of your life, you have to pray in particular fashion,
sit in particular, eat in particular fashion, sleep even in particular fashion,
and the many of these jurists are the ones who become the fundamentalists,
who become insistence try to control other people's conduct.
The mystics on other hand say O look ... .... used to Islam in mare forms with no sincerity
we accept the rules of conduct, but they're not as important as the real sincerity,
because what is the meaning of going up and down if you don't believe.


Every religion has its sacred book
but it's almost impossible to overstate
How sacred the Quran is to Muslims.

It is not just about God,
It is directly from God.

LIFE, THE UNIVERSE AND EVERYTHING
[tags: Caves, Babylonian, Hinduism, Buddhism, Zoroastrian]
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1525227/
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=518650186849943758

Excerpts:

CAVES - First churches of humans.

"Awareness of death is another by-product of our consciousness."

"One of the mankind's fundamental religious beliefs
is that everything shares a common soul
animals, trees, even the rocks.
Humans also share this soul,
but somewhere along the line we lost
the contact with devine spark within.



"Farming hasn't just given us food,
it may also given us the building block
of organised religion."

The farmers relationship with nature is more complicated
than hunters. And so is the relationship with gods.
The hunter prays for the luck of day's hunt,
but farmers is in a long hold, untile the harvest is safely gathered in,
...
Farming forges a long term contact,
between men and the gods.
PRAY NOW EAT LATER.

Aztec were giving human sacrifices, by taking his heart out alive.
"But human sacrifices are common in many religions."

The Aztec's practices human sacrifice almost at industrial scale.



HINDU

The asnwer to that question takes you to fascinationg paradox
that lies into the very heart of Hinduism,

the more gods you have,
the less they acutally mean.

According to some hindu traditions
the total number of gods is
330 million.
The number is so vast, its almost impossible to grasp,
which is the whole point.

Like the sun reflecting the countless glimps of lights from the surface of the sea.
One extreme of hindu thought even argues that
human soul and Barhaman are the same.
and ultimate religious truth is this, we are all gods.



BUDDHA

"The Buddha didn't denied the existance of gods
he just thought they are irrelavant to the problems of humanity
trapped in the wheel of life."

"To be FREE from the PASSIONS is the most excellent WAY." Buddha


"(Buddha) he concluded this, all creation is trapped in the wheel of life
a life means suffering, in-escapeable suffering, and thanks to reincarnation
endlessly repeated suffering.
But the gods were no real help, they too were trapped in the weheel of life.
and so it is upto every individual to achieve Nirvana - the ultimate reality.


LIFE IS SUFFERING
DESIRE CAUSES SUFFERING
NIRVANA OFFERS AN END TO SUFFERING
IT IS POSSIBLE TO ACHIEVE NIRVANA BY FOLLOWIN THE BUDDHA'S WAY.


When Enlighted died, he never born agian, end of suffering.



ZOROASTRIAN
Iran

When Zoroastrian died, they could not be buried or comitted,
as this could defy the sacred elements of earth and fire,
so they left the dead in hill toping enclosre called
Tsar of Silence.

Zorostrain in Iran don't expose their dead anymore.
Islam insists its own rules on how the dead should be treated.



Zoroastra taught that
the life is preparation for death.
a bliefe that become the corner stone
of many monotheistic religions.
One God, One Life, One Judgement Day.

Aliens and The Creation of Man

ALIENS AND THE CREATION OF MAN
ANCIENT ALIENS series

Excerpts:

ALIENS AND THE CREATION OF MAN

Desmond Morris
Naked Ape

"in 1967, British Zoologist Desmond Morris
argued against Darwin's Theory of Evolution
in his book THE NAKED APE.
In it Morris wrote
that there was no reason why man stood alone from
other species in terms of his nudity.
...
and that reduction probably goes back way beyond homospaiens in times
that probably goes back to time when the very first early bipedal homonids
came out of the forest in Africa into the Savannah
where they had more sun and more thermo radiation to cope with.


Varius ver. of Experiments

"But if Alien beings created humans by
genetically altering our primitive ancestors
might various versions of hominid
have been the result of experiments of creating
intelligent life on earth.



FoxP2 is the gene which is found in our nucleotides
and its something that sets us completely apart from any other animal.
And scientists have suggested that
 that gene alone is responsible for language.
and there is absolutely no evidence of origin
that this thing somehow mutated animal kingdom towards us.
so this gene exist out of nowhere without any origin.



The Sumerians are not the only culture
that talks about this.
also in the Quran it says
that the language was given to us by Allah or God.
The Maya Popowu says that the language was given to us by gods.
The ancient Egyptian texts say the exact same thing.


Why are so many past civilizations
all same similar things.
I think the simple answer is is that the same thing happen
and they know the story.


THEORY OF PANSPERMIA

Francis Crick, the co-discover of double helix in cell
said this all this can't happen by chance
but has to be engineered.
one of his argument is that the
rotation of the DNA isn't the same direction
for all living things
Had DNA developed on Earth it would probably have a 50-50
distribution, and that's exactly what we don't have.

Today scientist know that only about the
5% of the DNA contain in our genes
is used to reproduce human beings
the remainder is undecipherable code.
once referred to as junk DNA.
