How funny that the Zohar disagrees with Moses
So be it.
You have your reward
My short reply to being referred to as the “enemy” is to try to lighten the mood with a few memes.
A man does not educate his enemies unless he means to trick them
So are you making clear that you are attempting to trick me, or that I, as a Catholic, am your enemy? Perhaps both?
I will watch the video when I am able, and then I will give some feedback. That more than likely won’t happen for some hours, as I’m tied up with other things.
Lol the toilet epiphany
on the way...
So, I've skimmed the first half of this video while sitting on the toilet. As luck would have it, that it was the proper place to do so.
The first half of the video is nothing more than garbage pulled out of his own backside by Alexander Hislop. Isn't it amazing that those who seek with such fervent bias do indeed seem so quickly to fall upon such so-called evidence? When Hislop ran into facts that did not fit into his narrative, he simply tossed them out. Hislop made so many completely false assertions that I feel embarrassed for him. He wrote them into several books, too. His major logical fallacy was post hoc ergo propter hoc. He made false connections to things that didn't exist. I believe that Jack Chick incorporated many of these Hislop fallacies into his garbage literature.
The obelisk in St. Peter's Square is a remembrance for the martyrdom of many saints, in particular, the martyrdom of Saint Peter. It also acts as a sundial and calendar. Quoting Pope Benedict XVI: "The great obelisk casts its shadow in a line that runs along the paving stones toward the fountain beneath this window and in these days, the shadow is at its longest of the year."
See how that works?
St. Peter's Square is not intended to be a penis in the middle of a vagina, nor a symbol to worship the Egyptian sun god. This is nothing more than post hoc fallacy. The Vatican also has an observatory. If Hislop were alive today, then he would undoubtedly write in a new book that this means Rome has contact with aliens.
I'll have to listen to the second half of that video later. I have to get dinner going right now.
...
The second half of that video is complete and utter trash, lies, and deceit.
I best circle back to the obelisk in St. Peter's Square discussion for a minute, as some new thoughts came to me over dinner.
I wanted to know about the inscriptions at the base of the obelisk and what they meant.
And I also wanted to look up the history of the obelisk and see why it was chosen.
So, here we go:
