This chapter of your Deconstruction of Christianity is the one I enjoyed most, had me laughing so much at your expressive (F.,ing) language I couldn’t put it down. 🤣🤣No wonder the MAGA followers believe the biggest BS published by this administration!! Thank you so much!
Thanks, Wendy. To the victors go the spoils, and the freedom to rewrite history. The tyrants Caligula and Nero may not have been as evil and malignant as they were portrayed in later histories. Their detractors fudged the truth to make themselves seem more virtuous.
Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus (the Emperor Claudius as fictionalized in Robt. Graves “l Claudius” and “Claudius the God”) was a prolific builder of aqueducts, roads and canals, in addition to the new port at Ostia, but he was as bloodthirsty as the emperors before and after (Caligula & Nero.)
I reread Graves’ novels annually, as I was enthralled by the BBC “I Claudius” series starring Derek Jacobi when I was a teen.
It always puzzled me, why a supreme being, who created the heaven and earth etc, in six days, why he would need red crosses painted in blood, to distinguish the Israeli infants, from the Egyptian infants. Especially in this day and age, when we know about DNA etc, and just how complicated the human body is.
I assumed it must be human blood, so the mosquitoes would not go into the house and infect the infants inside with malaria, but just stop and ingest the blood on the door. Or it could be a sign for helpers not to let malaria carrying mosquitoes into the houses with crosses on.
What!
Are you seriously suggesting Abraham Lincoln didn't fight dragons?
Well, obviously! It was vampires that Lincoln fought 😉
