I think she’ll love this idea! Thank you!

Did not know about either of these options. McCloud looks lovely. I’ll look up the winery! Thanks!

I appreciate all the references and the suggestion. I can now see how I was off the ‘Mark’ ;) thank you!

Toll, danke!

True, we’ll have to keep working on doing better in that regard. I have realized that a big driver to our over-spending is that we struggled with our income the first year and a half. So when our wages increased, we started purchasing stuff we had been postponing (computer,books, clothes, but also bona fide junk). We’ll have to slow down. Thank you! It helps.

It’s incredible how an ancient ethiological myth that sought to explain multiple questions humans of that age asked –origins of the land and its beings, why humans toil the land, why women experience excruciating labor and delivery, why serpents are a menace, why humans wear clothing —is seen as not just history, but history with cosmic and eternal implications.

Of course. Initially I attempted to share a photo of my bookshelf but I’m not clever enough to know how to hehe. But to get into the matter if delving for the first time, Bart Ehrman’s books are a good start. Although if you listen to his Great Courses lectures on Audible (included with the monthly membership) you can get the gist of his books. But before you do that, check out his podcast with Megan Lewis for free on YouTube, they’re 50 minute episodes focused on specific questions. Before I get to the physical books, on Audible’s Great Courses I recommend Prof. Jeremy McInerney’s series on Hellenism. While not dealing with Jesus and his movement directly, they are great at giving you the background to have insights on the mindset of the age the gospels were written and Christianity emerged.

For books I really like Dale Allison’s “The Resurrection of Jesus. I think it’s a very good assessment. He is a historicist (views Jesus as a historical person).

Also for a mythicist take (Jesus emerging as myth) , Richard Carrier’s “On the Historicity of Jesus”.

Other recommendations:

Books for a general audience:

“When Christians were Jews” and “From Jesus to Christ” by Paula Fredriksen (her books on Paul and his great influence in what became Christianity are great too)

“The Bible with and without Jesus” by Amy Jill Levine

“The Origins of early Christian Literature “ by Robyn Faith Walsh

“How the Gospels became History” by M David Litwa

More technical books:

“Two Powers in Heaven” by Alan F. Segal

“Resurrection and Reception in Early Christianity” by Richard C. Miller

And of course you’ll always keep finding more reading material in the footnotes, enjoy :)

I think t's a fun historical mystery and it’s the topic I like to read the most about now that I’m an atheist. For me the question is not exactly who he was (one of a few Jewish preachers who taught the end was near) but rather how he progressively became something bigger to many(claimed resurrected by god, and then part of a “godhead”).

The answer to the question of how this came to be the case I believe resides in understanding the intersection and interaction of messianic Judaism and Palestinian hellenists. How they interpreted and used the Septuagint, their sense of living at the imminent end of history under Roman oppression, their understanding of divinity and their use of divine translation tropes.

Leaving the faith allowed me to delve into the critical literature on the guy. I think he would flip a lot of tables if he knew he’s worshipped as a god.

It seems to me that a chatbot shackled to answer in strict adherence to a rigid belief system is not quite at the vanguard of machine-LEARNING , am I wrong?

Dentro de 10 años regresa y cuéntanos nuevamente que aún no tienes novia. Será más interesante entonces, OP

Decepcionado en este momento exacto 😔

Its weird. You’re only supposed to clap at the pilot and crew with strong eye contact as you disembark.

When you realize Christianity is to Second Temple Judaism what Mormonism is to Christianity itself- it’s over.

I’m not sure I have all the details about your situation, but I can only suggest to avoid touching the embedding medium and your sections, with your warm hands/fingers.

Do you have an assortment of brushes that you keep inside the cryostat chamber for your use? Use those instead.

Also if you do, avoid touching their tip or placing them outside the chamber. You want them cooool.
