Now for you dansss8128, so where is your GOD? Several before your so-called Jesus were made but the Hebrew Bible, and it writing, Adam first wife, her name was LILITH, the mysterious first wife of ADAM. Hebrew boys, never exist in OURS history and years. Hebrew hides behind the JEW word that made those. Hide behind ZION, which they go into this world’
So, going on Osiris, One of the most important deities of Ancient Egypt, whose principle association is with death, resurrection and fertility. Isis She was the daughter of Nut and Geb, the sister and wife to Osiris, and the mother of Horus. Horus Falcon headed god, usually depicted as a man with the head of a falcon. Many falcon gods existed throughout Egypt, though over time a good number of these were assimilated into Horus, the most important.
First Gods, then you have, Amun/Amun Re, Anubis, Aten, Atum, Bast/Bastet, Bast/Bastet, Geb, Hathor, Hathor, Khepri, Khnum, Ma'at, Nephthys, Nut, Ptah, Re, Sekhmet, Seshat, Seth/Set, Sobek, Tawaret, Thoth. Was born before EVERY another g GODS made, no Romans, Gods, and, NO Greeks Gods, opps those countries was found YET.
Thoth God of writing and knowledge, depicted in the form of two animals: the baboon and the sacred ibis. By the end of the Old Kingdom he was most frequently portrayed as an ibis-headed man, usually holding a scribal palette and a pen or a notched palm leaf. He was also often shown recording the results of the "weighing of the heart" of the deceased, and sometimes in addition, he is shown as a baboon perched on top of the scales. Thoth was a lunar deity and is often depicted wearing the lunar crescent on his head. Worshipped widely throughout all of Egypt, his cult centre was Hermopolis

Maury is a jerk who should have long ago retired and spent his last days with his idiot friend Geo. W.

I remember Maury and his father quite well. His father's name was Shirley - he had a daily column next to the comics in the Washington Post I believe. His articles were great!

I managed a singer in Washington DC (Beryl Middleton) and she appeared on Maury's TV show (Panarama) several times. It was a popular show in DC.

He is truly a really nice guy.

Hi, Desiree this is for you little girl. You have NO books and read nothing about nothing, and, I think U R boys beat your little fetus mind, and, says I CONTROL U and do what I tell U to do. Do you have a husband, no? This good, but, start reading little girl. Then asks me what books you read, and, where do it your knowledge from, school, college, university, tech schools, nowhere, because you don’t read. So close your moron mind and stop putting that crap on papers, please. I have NO novels kid, and, NEVER stop reading and gave going forward with this lifetime. I have several lifetimes, never die just go home, and then come back again. Opps, you are looking for that HUman crap, Jesus, never exist.
Then you have this novel Genesis 6:1-6
6:1And it came to pass, when men began to come to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
6: 2 that the SONS of GOD saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
6: 3 And the LORD said my spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
6: 4 there were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the SONS of GOD came in unto the daughters of men, and they bear children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
6: 5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6: 6 and it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
6:7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repented me that I have made them.
Then you have this novel about JOB
1: 6 Now there was a day when the SONS of GOD came to present themselves before the LORD and Satan came also among them.
1: 7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Where coming from thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, from going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
1: 8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feared God, and eschewed evil?
1:9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for naught?




So U will know about me, I know what I know, no one else just me. So, if you upon your fetus thoughts and mind your brain and conscientiousness will expand more about your lifetime now.
DIVINE LOVE

Well I am sure there is a lot of intelligent conversation going on while golfing....NOT!!!!
YES, GWB got a lot done, sent our girls and boys over to be killed on pretextt of hidden nuclear bombs
when it was a vendetta ...and let's see, no jobs,rich get richer, country health care taken away from
middleclass and poor, foreclosures....OH giving GWB 8 yrs to do all this damage you think our
President is going to fix it in a year when all of the idiots slam and NAY all his efforts. President Obama
presented many legimate propsals, but it would mean the superrich would have to come down a peg
so it is always a unanamous NAY. The opponents have stated they will do everything to beat Obama
So people like you will feel he is not doing his job. YOU MUST BE ONE OF THE ONES WHO
WANTED OUR PRESIDENT to fix every evil thing the day after innaugaration.
SEEMS like every president is criticized for spending money, yet Michelle is not commented on
her not spending money on highend designer clothes.,,,,,,
.guess what she would be criticized for that too.

THIS IS TO GGLIDDYGIRL2005

I guess you were not aware that Obama had two years with full control of the house and senate. No one held him back then - so why are we deeper in debt and there are more unemployed? Exacctly because he got his way, unobstructed for those years.

I would like to know why the Republican are not behind Mitt Romney, if they truly wants Obama out? Let's face it. many of you white people voted for Obama so you would not be considered racist.."Oh what a tangle web we weave when we often practice to deceive." Lets face the the real truth everybody vote against Cain and Obama so you will realize that your conscience has set you free. Save your country vote Mitt Romney what do you guys prefer; America become a 3rd world country or take back our country. I am an Afro-American Sociologist/Psychologist. A blogger once responded to my plea to vote Mitt Romney for president, indicated that Mormon had just accepted blacks as people..this blogger may have forgotten that whites still practices miscegenation and continuing to label mixed people non-white. Please don't allow the irony of debates to gets in the way of basic common-sense vote
