Ok. Then you know this information for 300 years and I 3 years good 'nuff

It still doesn't make anyone of us a "divine reference" on these matters.

Which office is that? Scientifically that could be accepted as theory but other wise well it is like two dudes hanging out and saying "If I were head of state I would kill everyone who makes noise on sunday". no offense.

What has that to do with your "Jesus walking on water" example?

Well a book is a book. Making a book holy is totally what the individual makes of it. If you accept that that book is divine in some sort of way you are already moving materialistic science away from what you perceive as reality. That is the first bent in your solid matter universe. I am not claiming that faith is something that changes reality. I am just saying that materialism is a faith and it is not madder then believing a vengeful god who got ****** off at people and drown them at some point in time. Thomas Paine has made serious errors in what can be proved and that makes him not so credible at all when you look at it rationally.

Nice sentiments. His revolutionary group have done quite some job. I would recommend you to look at those times and the origins of America according to Francis Bacon, Jüri Lina (
http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...77492406&hl=en ), and the guys who analyzed the Architecture of Washington D.C. (
http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...30464561&hl=en one of two documentaries). There are also some stuff that Bill Cooper made in the Mystery Babylon series connecting America's Destiny to what was and is going on. It makes people understand the revolution brigade. What their intentions are and how these people connect with the ideals of Secret Societies.

I notice there is no URL with the retort of the Religion IN that time.

btw, "First to see that people think that every despicable person is working for the truth " are you saying here that a despicable person never tells the truth? Or the fact that he tells the truth, makes him despicable?

How can you document that? That's what makes him despicable. Even though perhaps he meant the crusaders it's still ignorant and factually wrong.
I meant by that actually that most researchers **** people off (as far as I have observed of course). That emotion sometimes guide people to false assumptions.
