White And Conservative? Must Be A Racist

[Seshmeister]

Only thing about Martin Luther was that he was objecting to the Catholic Church's doctrine, which was based on a Fairy Tale. His opinion was that HIS Fairy Tale was much superior.

He was also a total antisemite who wanted Jewish people to be attacked and thrown out their homes to such an extent that his teachings inspired and were used by the Nazi's.

I don't think Elvis knew that when he said he agreed with Luther but that just shows again the point that people jump onto these superstitious band wagons without questioning where they come from.

Consider also, just as an irrelevant reference point, that the very first 'Cinderella' fairy tale known was written by the Greek historian Strabo in the First Century B.C.

Funny you should mention that. I'm currently reading The Alexandria Link, by Steve Berry. The plot has to do with the idea that the Holy Land claimed by the Jews in Palestine in 1948 was in fact the wrong territory, and should have been marked hundreds of miles south in Saudi Arabia. The mistake stems from the Roman Strabo's observations in his "book" Histories. The Greek Herodotus' observations seem to contradict Strabo, but the problem is the stories were written nearly 400 years apart. Further muddying the waters is the idea that the Old Testament is rife with errors of not only translation, but geography as well. For instance, the mention of Jordan might not refer to a river, but a mountain range. Jerusalem is not a single city, but a region full of many townships. Unfortunately, the original Hebrew (a language not even understood by the Greeks who translated the work) is a lost language, and finding a copy of the original text of what was known as the Septuagint (the basis for the old testament) at this late date is unlikely unless we find the library of Alexandria.

The book Berry has written wonders what would happen if the lost library of Alexandria indeed was found, and how revelations of the truth would destabilize (as if things are stable at all) the already ponderous relations in the East. Fascinating stuff.
