Crom was their chief, and he lived on a great mountain, whence he sent forth dooms and death. It was useless to call on Crom, because he was a gloomy, savage god, and he hated weaklings. But he gave a man courage at birth, and the will and might to kill his enemies, which, in the Cimmerian's mind, was all any god should be expected to do.

Why barbarian (a Greek word) basically means: Them, others, all people or things not Greek!can't sit still wrote:Zeus, physically, we're all animals. What makes a barbarian ? What makes a non-barbarian? As just a spur-of-the-moment thought, I think that the difference is ; A non-barbarian holds on very tightly to the thin veneer of civilization that separates us from the animals. A barbarian permits and sometimes desires to let loose of that veneer. The resulting mayhem gratifies his animal nature :twisted:

"Barbarian" is a pejorative term for an uncivilized person, either in a general reference to a member of a nation or ethnos perceived as having an inferior level of civilization, or in an individual reference to a brutal, cruel, warlike, insensitive person whose behaviour is unacceptable in the society of the speaker.[1] Barbarians are considered distinct from savages in that they are perceived as being willfully ignorant, choosing to preserve their way of life despite contact with more civilized societies (e.g. the ancient Greek-speaking peoples often considered any ethnic group unwilling to accept their culture as barbarian).
All religions should pay taxes if they ask for Tithing. That includes federal taxes period! Especially those evangelical religions. Its not enough to make them pay estate taxes, but also windfall taxes!
Make god give a cut to society to make up for all the ills that they create! I could list them most of them, but it's sunday so I'm god a break.

Ooops, that wasn't Noah, Moses! That's what happens when you haven't watched the 10 commandments for a while!Apollonaris Zeus wrote:Well its passover and easter once again Woopee
OK I won't over doo it but there are some holes in the concept of passover that the torah just doesn't jibe.
OK lets just forget the magic stuff of the torah, like the river of blood, staff of Noah changing into a snake, the frogs, locust and first born dying stuff since that stuff just doesn't happen.

Oestre/Easter: The name Easter derived from the Saxon Eostre (a.k.a. Eastre). The ancient Saxons in Northern Europe worshipped the Goddess Oestre at the time of the Spring Equinox. The Goddess Easter represents the sunrise, spring-time and fertility, the renewal of life. Pagan Anglo-Saxons made offerings of colored eggs to her at the Vernal Equinox. They placed them at graves especially, probably as a charm of rebirth. (Egyptians and Greeks were also known to place eggs at gravesites). Only later did the Christians pilfer the name for themselves and graft their religion onto a pagan celebration.
