My anus vents gas daily. Today that gas was repelling intelligent life.Plus it’s full of gas!
No corona virus on mine. It's been in isolation for more than a safe period of time.Mine is social distancing lol
Yeah, it's actually a big part of the history of Christianity and I've always found it very interesting. No one knows when Jesus was born so the church adopted December 25 to gain favour with the pagans. It's not the only time they've done that.When I went to Rome I visited catacombs and old temples etc that had been built upon over the years.
I was told this by the historian leading the tour, which surprised me as I had never heard it.
Although most Christians celebrate December 25 as the birthday of Jesus Christ, no one in the first two Christian centuries claimed any knowledge of the exact day or year in which he was born–most were more interested in the story of his death. However, early in the 4th century, church leaders designated December 25, the birthday of the popular pagan god Mithras, as Jesus’ official birth date. The celebration of the birth of Christ also took over the pagan winter solstice holiday that also fell in late December. From thereon, December 25 was to be observed by Christians at a holy Mass, or “Christ’s Mass.” Today, one-third of the world’s population celebrates the birth of Jesus on this day.
Any thoughts about this, personally I found it ironic to actually be a Pagan Gods birthdate chosen as Jesus Christs birthday.

Interactive maps described as a “scientific benchmark” have revealed the vast continent beneath New Zealand as it’s never been seen before.
While scientists have known about it for decades, it’s only been in recent years that “Zealandia” has been publicly recognised as the planet’s youngest, smallest, thinnest and most submerged continent.
At one relatively brief point in the Earth’s history, its sprawling mass once stood above the waves, dispersing animals and plants from here to New Caledonia and the east of Australia, reports the New Zealand Herald.
Most groups of dinosaurs, including the towering titanosaurs, roamed its rolling, mountainless, low-lying landscape.
Today, 94 per cent of Zealandia lies underwater – if we drained the oceans, we could see it unfurling some 4.9 million sqkm across the South Pacific.
But new maps just released by the country’s geological research institute GNS science, along with a new interactive website called E Tūhura – Explore Zealandia, allow us to see in much closer detail.
The maps cover both bathymetry – or the shape of the ocean floor – along with the continent‘s tectonic origins.
Well I for one don't really care about dates my bro. I just focus on the real important things and life lessons.When I went to Rome I visited catacombs and old temples etc that had been built upon over the years.

I'd love to see a thawed out Antarctica, who knows what's under that ice.https://www.news.com.au/technology/...d/news-story/ea5c6434c3c318c90b023e7f8b01d20c

I reckon they all give and take between themselvesYeah, it's actually a big part of the history of Christianity and I've always found it very interesting. No one knows when Jesus was born so the church adopted December 25 to gain favour with the pagans. It's not the only time they've done that.
The Church was smart when indoctrinating people. Take an aspect the people hold dear and weave it into your own religion. Winning over the hearts and minds of people.
The origin of Easter for example was from the Sumerian/Mesopotamian/Babylonian and their worship of Ishtar the Godess of rebirth. The church incorporated those factors into the early celebrations of Easter which is why we have things like the Easter Bunny and eggs (symbols of Ishtar)
Some historians even say that the resurrection of Jesus was based on the resurrection myths of the Sumerian, Greek, Roman and Egyptian Gods. But that all depends on your religious belief.
As a side interesting note, all religions throughout the world have similar structures including a God or Gods that created the world, all have a story of a God dying and being resurrected, all have a stage where a God or Gods live among humans, all have an after life, all have sin and consequence, all have similar lineage, all have a story of sacrifice. Mainly differentiating in the amount of Gods with Christianity and Hinduism having one God (in several forms), while others have many Gods.
This makes sense as many religions arose from the same region. Mesopotamia has the earliest recorded religion and other religions including Judaism, Greek, Roman, and even Christianity have developed in the same region. But other religions like Hinduism, the religion of the meso-Americans, the Norse religions, all developed independently with no connection to the Greek/Middle East are, but all follow a similar structure.
That makes you wonder if there's a large part of history that we're missing.
No pyramids I hope.I'd love to see a thawed out Antarctica, who knows what's under that ice.
Lol heard about that.No pyramids I hope.
I once read there were palm trees on Antarctica - https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smar...ca-was-once-covered-with-palm-trees-12098835/Lol heard about that.
I'm guessing the landscape would be similar to the bottom of NZ's bottom island.
According to China it will be old Chinese relics, hence the reason they're planning on claiming it.I'd love to see a thawed out Antarctica, who knows what's under that ice.
Russia and Murika are trying to claim it too so there must be oil/gas underground I'm guessing.According to China it will be old Chinese relics, hence the reason they're planning on claiming it.
Got nothing to do with oil and gas reserves
