Ancient Knowledge Hermes Thoth And Hermeticism Great Chain Of Being Continued

SOURCEFROM THE ARMAGEDDON CONSPIRACYThe ancient Greeks considered Egypt the repository of the most secret, sacred and powerful wisdom. The Arabic word "alchemy" is thought to have originally meant "the Egyptian Art".

(Trismegistos is Greek for thrice-greatest, from tris (thrice) + megistos (greatest). And three, the trinity, is of course one of the most sacred and powerful of numbers). Hermes/Thoth, a god highly revered by the ancient Illuminati, is the inventor of writing and the scribe, messenger and herald of the gods.

Faith No Sign Required

WHY DO WE NEED FAITH - WHY DOESN'T GOD JUST GIVE US AN IRREFUTABLE SIGN Ever wonder why God wants us to have faith and why He just doesn't have Angels appearing to us trumpeting our names and calling us to come to Him. Surely, many more people would become instant believers if an Angel of the Lord followed them around until they gave their lives over to God. In the Bible, Mark relays in 8:12 that Jesus spoke "WHY DOES THIS GENERATION ASK FOR A MIRACULOUS SIGN? I TELL YOU THE TRUTH, NO SIGN WILL BE GIVEN" God gives us the free will to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, because it pleases Him to do so. If He wanted a world of robots, surely God could have created one in which there would be no one who didn't follow His word. Instead, God not only gives us free will to choose to have faith, He...

Some Thoughts About In Your Face Atheism

"by Massimo PigliucciThe recent American Atheist ad campaign, the one that says that religions are scams, is a bad idea, on all fronts. Before explaining why, I have to remind readers that I've had a close connection to AA for years. Former AA President Ellen Johnson made me an honorary life member of the organization; the President who succeeded her, Ed Buckner, is a close friend of mine; and I have appeared several times on their TV show, next to current President Dave Silverman. So, I hope I will not get excommunicated as a result of what follows, it would be a shame (though not something unheard of either).The new ad says: "You KNOW they're all SCAMS," and it's signed "American Atheists - Telling the truth since 1963. They" are at least five of the major religious traditions, as is made...
