so your most recent post says this man disagrees with the portrayal of some events in the old and new testament.
does he blame translations being overly diluted down the line or just written wrong?

your blog looks like one of those websites you come across like:
"learn the secrets of hypnosis for $30 a month"
"Your very own time travel machine at 20.99, subscribe and receive an extra warp crystal"
Since I believe UFOs are real, I could explore the galaxy!

COME ON GUYS, USE YOUR IMAGINATION!

I would even be hesitant to say there is only life..
there is nothing out there or in here that I call life.. there isn't a suitable name for it and to name it defeats the purpose of being.

Could you give me an example of a more sincere, less professional looking blog?
As I said in my blog, I did hire an agressive webmaster to help me with my websites.

benabba, no offense meant friend, but it sounds like your taking a page out of the movie with some creative differences so as to not be too obvious and trying to capitalize (other words make some money) on it.
But yes I just watched that movie and yes it kicks some major buttocks.
Er "The Man from Earth" movie.

I understand it will cost me about that much to get the full story written into book form. I would love to recoup these costs someday. However, the chances of any book selling enough copies to pay off their costs is not very high.

Somebody must have been pulling your leg big time, BenAbba.
Even in the event of not finding a publisher, you could still make a very presentable e-book or, if you prefer printed books, advertise a print-on-demand offer.
Only a few years ago, e-books were still considered sort of "second-rate".
But those days are long gone. E-books are the way to go, unless you are publishing poetry, novels etc.
Even established authors of "alternative" topics (such as Cynthia Larson) are opting for e-books.
And it makes sense: no investment (except for your time and effort, of course) and maximum returns.
Also, the lure of an immediately downloadable book stimulates "impulse buying"... Do your own math.

Call me a cynic.
Too many variables that smell wrong for me to accept it as fact.
Oh and it's worth noting you can make an eBook for free and if your a details oriented person you could make a damn good one.
And I could make your website myself if I was so inclined to do so.
Also. Free.
