this is no more than a way to try and put people in subjection making them think they r not very inteligent and should lead the life god dictataes (incidently throught the church or at least he never came to me and told me how things stood between us).
well people r free to beleiva what they like but as long as something is possible and logical i can understand it and i don't need to fear eternal damnation to conduct myself honestly and fairly towards others in life. thats the onl thing good i see in religeon it keeps people (and sadly not all) in line and perhaps helps limit crime although there have beaing many crimes commited in the name of god which ever way u look at it the odds r the same.
ok so this is from last sundays surmon and what a surmon of crap it was:
it was the accension (sorry i know i spelt it wrong) to the heaveans. so gesus is walking along giving his deciples the last recomendations and then says his fare wells and accends into the sky on a cloud and quite correctly artists dipict in paintings just that. then two men dressed in white (one of the few occasions when the colour of peoples clothing is described) and say men of gallilea why do u stare at the sky this gesus that was among you has accendd into the sky and it is your turn to follow up his trachings.
so then dear old don peter (pietro in italian if ur currios to know) goes on to tell after obvious and unmistakable physical refferences to physical accension into the sky that this is all symbolic and that he went to heaven but not into the sky and that the paintings r symbolic representations.
so now my version infact not mine the plain words of the bible put in perspective: gesus PHYSICALLY flew into the sky to an awaiting space/aircraft wih the aid of acompact rocket pack easily conceled under the tunic and probably not of much range just enough to reach his destination hence the plain reference to going up on a cloud ! secondly the men "dressed in white" were probably (no not angels) but crew men in their suits.
need i add more ? i mean mor PHYSICAL reference than that.
