As an atheist, I must ask...why would I care about Papal writs or the Bible? It's all pointless and divisive garbage. I don't see what you're getting at with this statement.

Those videos look interesting, and I'll watch them. Just bear in mind that not all science supports black holes, for example Electric Universe Theory doesnt. And I tend to see the center of the universe probably as a huge star with white hole/black hole technologies, more the mechanisms found in all stars. While I see the old testament as really negative stuff, nonetheless, there is so much coded in it, alot of ufology, stargates, astronomy, cycles, ET, most of it borrowed.
And all stars, planets are connected with strips, magnetic strips, tubes in my lucid travels, and seem to connect to a great central star in the universe, or doorway.edit on 21-1-2012 by Unity_99 because: (no reason given)

Where? I mean you say the evidence is there but you don't really offer any.
Hitler was before my time. There is more proof that he existed than there is of Jesus so I must say that I disagree that there is a greater degree of proof of the existance of Jesus than other persons of not in the last 2000 years.
Even if everything before 1950 is a complete fabrication they still didn't fabricate all that much about him when compared to royals, politicians and even celebrities.

Not every book is borrowed, but the origins of the religion. Actually the religion itself was formed from their records of history from other lands such as Sumar and even Egypt, some of it is related to that land, and conquering those people and events that took place. But some of it isn't. Enoch is pre Moses and Moses is the Sumerian tale of the flood, so I'm not sure that Enoch is Judiac, seems to me he is Sumerian.edit on 21-1-2012 by Unity_99 because: (no reason given)
"By applying number patterns in Scriptures, God's glory can be seen in the eclipse. The interaction between sun (bridegroom) and moon (bride) during an eclipse can be seen to be like a marriage union speaking to us of our coming redemption. "

Mary (مريم Maryam in Arabic), the mother of Jesus, is considered one of the most righteous women in the Islamic tradition. She is mentioned more in the Qur'an[1] than in the entire New Testament and is also the only woman mentioned by name in the Qur'an.[2] According to the Qur'an, Jesus was born miraculously by the will of God without a father. His mother is regarded as a chaste and virtuous woman and is said to have been a virgin. The Qur'an states clearly that Jesus was the result of a virgin birth, but that neither Mary nor her son were divine. In the Qur'an, no other woman is given more attention than Mary and the Qur'an states that Mary was chosen above all women:

The Worship of Baphomet (see Baphomet)
The Atbash Cipher Theory
As early as 500 BC Scribes writing the book of Jeremiah used what
we now know to be the ATBASH cipher. This cipher is one of the
few used in the Hebrew language
If one writes the word Baphomet in Hebrew and remember Hebrew
letters read from right to left, the result is as shown below:
[taf] [mem] [vav] [pe] [bet] Baphomet In Hebrew Right to Left
Applying the Atbash cipher:
[alef] [yud] [pe] [vav] [shin] Results In Sophia a Greek Word
Written In Hebrew Right To Left
Although written in Hebrew it reads as the Greek word Sophia that
translates into "Wisdom" in English. However, there is another
connotation to the term, for Sophia was the Goddess and
considered to be the bride of God. It should be remembered that
their patron, St. Bernard of Clairvaux had an absolute obsession
with Mary
A Corruption Of The Name Mahomet (Mohammed)
Some scholars hold that Baphomet is Old French for Mohammed,
the Islamic prophet. Others contend that Baphomet is merely a
corruption or mispronunciation of the same name. In either case if
the Templars admitted to following Mohammed or Mahomet, then
they would clearly be heretics in the eyes of the inquisition. It is
almost certain that at least some members of the order adopted
Islamic practices from their involvement with them in Outremer.
2.Encyclopedia of occultism ans parapsychology Vol.2
The occult idea has been preserved through the ages, the
same in essence among the believers in all religions. To a great
extent, the occult’s trend was in one direction, so that the fusion
of the older mystical societies and their rebirth as a new brotherhood
is a plausible hypothesis.
The entry on the Templars, for example, suggests the possibility
of that brotherhood having received its tenets from the
East. It seems very likely that its rites were oriental in origin,
and certainly the occult systems of Europe owed much to the
Templars, who, probably, after the fall of their own order, secretly
formed others or joined existing societies.
Masons have a hypothesis that they inherited traditions
from the Dionysian artificers, the artisans of Byzantium, and
the building brotherhoods of Western Europe. This is not a
proven theory; however, it is much more feasible than the romantic
legend concerning the rise of Freemasonry at the time
of the building of the Temple of Solomon.
One of the chief reasons that we know so little concerning
these brotherhoods in medieval times is that the charge of dabbling
in the occult arts was a serious one in the eyes of the law
and the church; therefore, occultists found it necessary to carry
on their practices in secret.
But after the Reformation, a modern spirit took possession
of Europe, and protagonists of the occult sciences came out of
their secrecy and practiced in the open light of day. In England,
for example, numerous persons avowed themselves alchemists;
in Germany the ‘‘Rosicrucians’’ sent out a manifesto;
in Scotland, Alexander Seton, a great master of the hermetic
art, flourished.
But it was nearly a century later when further secret societies
were formed, such as the Academy of the Ancients and of the
Mysteries in 1767; the Knights of the True Light, founded in
Austria about 1780; the Knights and Brethren of Asia, which
appeared in Germany in the same year; the Order of Jerusalem,
which originated in America in 1791; and the Society of
the Universal Aurora, established in Paris in 1783.

Why? I'm making no such claim. I have no interest in proving that either of those people actually existed or that they had a son.
You're actually making tha case for me. There is more proof, even if fake or inacurate, that she and her son existed than Jesus and it's from around the same time period. It would seem that the egyptians were just better record keepers.edit on 21-1-2012 by daskakik because: (no reason given)
"A great deal of evidence shows that Ignatius of Loyola, before establishing his Order [the Jesuits], was initiated into the mystical secrets of the Shadliyya sect in Southern Spain and in the Maghreb, on a specific request by the aristocratic families of Venice".
some rather weird statements that were tortured out of the Templars by the inquisitors who wanted to lay hands on their considerable riches: "as a Gnostic cult", the Templars took up elements "drawn from Islamic doctrine (such as the adoration of the god Baphomet)". So we finally know what Muslims do in the mosques: they worship Baphomet.
Thanks to the Templars, the Cathars too became a "Sufi movement", the purpose being that of "freezing progress and blocking the development of the population at zero growth" (p. 22).
A this point, we meet the Thule Society, which supposedly inspired German National Socialism. Goodrick-Clarke, in The Occult Roots of Nazism (The Acquarian Press, Wellingborough, UK, 1985) says everything there is to say about this matter. There were some occultists among German nationalists, much as there are Keltic magicians among the followers of the Italian "Lega" or Cabalists among Zionist extremists. It is hard to say how much mysticism inspired certain political theses, and how much it simply justified them. It is true that the founder of the National Socialist Party, Dietrich Eckart, had belonged briefly to the Thule Society, which did indeed use at least an initiatory jargon. However this marginal world never interested Adolf Hitler. Whose notoriously rather unpleasant character prevented him from allowing others to tell him what to do even when this meant losing a quarter of a million soldiers at Stalingrad.
Fatima is a very important and central figure in Iranian Shiite. The literature dealing with her is secondary literature i.e. hadith, narratives, reports and is relatively substantial. It is often commented that such literature with respect to women is a mirror image of the misogynist attitudes in the Muslim countries and is used as a tool to reinforce such negative trends. There is literature of this kind associated with Fatima too. The most famous is the one she is quoted as saying, "the best thing for a woman is to stay at home and not to be seen by strange men" (Bukhari). However the bulk of the literature dealing with her is from a different class and a different story. The literature has depth, is multi dimensional and has an evolution. The earlier accounts are biographical, Ibn Hisham in his biography of Prophet Muhammad, the earliest records of his life and early Islam only mentions her. Bukhari has more information but again she is only mentioned. As of 10th century with the appearance of several minor and a couple of major pro-Shiite dynasties, Fatamid of Egypt and Buyeh of Iran, her image gradually but eventually drastically changes. Fatamid claim descent from Fatima and it is during Buyeh period that for the first time public mourning for Imam Hussein is performed in Iran. From this time she becomes more of a Saint and less of a person. Sixteenth century and the coming of Safavid dynasty and Majlesi’s colossal work ‘Oceans of Light’ completed her transformation into a major Saint with a number of titles each a manifestation of one of her saintly attributes and more.
She is divine in origin and several variations of a major hadith describe how she was conceived on the night of Meraj (ascension). On this night Gabriel took Muhammad to Jerusalem and then to Heaven. While up in Heaven, he was offered some heavenly fruit, the seed of which was responsible for her conception, after Prophet’s arrival at home on the same night and making love to his beloved Khadija. This story is important and has become a point of departure between Sunni and Shiite with respect to her age. Following Shiite account since she was conceived on this night she lived for only 18 years. While Sunni believe she was born five years before revelation and as a result she is 10 years older.
She is called Zahra, the radiant one, a universal motif and a characteristic of all saints. She is also called Batul, meaning virgin. She is Queen of mankind and is compared to Mary and is called Maryam and like Mary she is Queen of Heaven. She is the first woman who will enter the paradise
The Frankish King Dagobert II, and the Merovingian dynasty from which he came, have been romantically mythologized in the annals of both local legend and modern mystical pseudo-history, but few have understood the true meaning and origins of their alluring mystery. The mystique that surrounds them includes attributions of saintliness, magical powers (derived from their long red hair), and even divine origin, stemming from their supposed descent from the one and only Jesus Christ. However, the importance of the divine origin of the Merovingians, and the antiquity from whence it comes, has never to this author's knowledge been fully explored by any writer or historian. As Boyd Rice and I will explain in more detail in our forthcoming book, we have uncovered mountains of evidence which indicates that the origins of the Merovingian race, and the mystery that surrounds them, lies ultimately with a race of beings, "Nephilim," or "Fallen Angels," who created mankind as we know him today, and with a civilization, far more ancient than recorded history, from which came all of the major arts and sciences that are basic to civilizations everywhere, even unto today. As we intend to show, all of the myths and symbolism that are associated with this dynasty can, in fact, be traced back to this earlier civilization. It is known, in some cultures, as Atlantis, although there are many names for it, and it is the birthplace of agriculture, astronomy, mathematics, metallurgy, navigation, architecture, language, writing, and religion. It was also the source of the first government on Earth - monarchy. And the first kings on Earth were the gods.
Anti-Islamism takes on many guises. Certainly one of the oddest however is this : did you know there is a conspiracy by Islamic fundamentalist Templars, led by Venetian Nazis, who plan to kill the Pope, promote Liberation Theology in Latin America and push drugs, all of this for the sole purpose of restoring the glorious government of the Doges?
This is what we discover reading the book Il quarto livello ("The Fourth Level", Editori Riuniti, Rome, 1996) by former judge and former Italian Parliament member, Carlo Palermo, whom many know and admire as an adversary of corruption in very difficult times. Nothing we say here should be understood as a criticism of his Quixotic personality.
Palermo made the headlines some time ago when he gave an interview to the daily Il Giornale, accusing the "Templars and the Shiites" for an (accidental) fire in the chapel in Turin where the Holy Shroud is kept. Authoritative journalists have described Palermo's book as the last word on the Mafia and on the mysterious bomb outrages of the 70's and 80's in Italy
Yet what he writes stands to history as does the hollow earth theory to geology.
"Why did Hutus and Tutsis massacre each other in Rwanda? Why did the peoples of former Yugoslavia do the same? Why is terror being spread today in Paris or in Beirut, in Algeria or in New York, in Islamabad, in Karachi or in Jerusalem ? [...] Why are macabre mass suicides still being committed in Canada and in Switzerland, in the name of a religious cult which draws its inspiration from the old Templar Order ..? Why, on the threshold of the third millennium, has the Church not yet explained the third secret of Fatima to the faithful ...? Why are we still unable to cast full light on the terrible bomb outrages which struck Italy during the 70's and 80's ..?" (pp. 4-5).
Well, I suppose that is a good question
The cover of the book helps the reader go guess the answer - against a black background, a bald knight Templar, with a long beard, rises up threateningly.
Palermo's story starts with the International Bank of Credit and Commerce (IBCC), which had a large number of dubious account holders, and then crashed with the CIA investigating it.
Now, according to Palermo, the IBCC was established by a group of Pakistanis whom he calls "of Shiite confession, of Sufi creed" (p. 19).
The whole book rests on these six words, since they connect the dirty business at the IBCC with the whole world of what one might call "the occult", plus Islam too.
According to Palermo, Sufism is "a sort of final cult" devoted to an "anti-scientific and anti-technological" struggle, and can be found "both in Islamic and in Catholic fundamentalism" (p. 19 ff.).
"The cult of the return to Mother Nature meets with special favour in the ascetic mysticism of Sufism".
Let us pause a moment to say a few terribly obvious things. The various Sufi orders are closed groups within the Islamic world (not within the Catholic world) which attempt to reach certain mystical states through contemplation of the word of the Qur'an.
The founders may have been saints, but their heirs only too often have become countryside magicians. Nobody can actually call them "heretics" as long as they perform all their religious duties, but rumour often accuses them of transgressing the law of the common folk.
Devotion to saints, political passiveness, recourse to magical practices, the creation of an elite within a society like the Islamic one based on the equality of men before Allah - all of this has made Sufism largely hateful to just those fundamentalists Palermo associates them with.
Sufism, apart from some poems thanking Allah for rain (a masculine word in Arabic), certainly has no cult of "Mother Nature". "Nature" in Arabic is expressed using a word meaning "moulded" or "printed": it is no "mother", but rather the sign that a unique and almighty divinity has impressed on the world. Of course some Westerners mix up the "Wise Men of the East" with their own smog problems, but that is another story.
"If we want to identify the sector where Sufi philosophy has penetrated most deeply, we must see how the international far Right has developed. And the greatest leader of the Right, Adolf Hitler, comes to mind at once" (p. 20).
And here is how he proves this:
The SS "looked back" to the Prussian Empire.
The Prussian Empire was a "direct derivation of the state of the Teutonic Military Order".
The Teutonic Order had absorbed "some members" of the suppressed Templar Order.
These members drew their inspiration "from Sufism".
Therefore, "it is a fact that the SS state was a Sufi state".
