By Max Atkinson, published 28/3/2014How does this debate and the ordinary, everyday values it draws on, relate to arguments which appeal to religious authority?

Dear Banjo Paterson,
That's a variation on the Hindu epic. U pan I shed. If I were to be pun-i-shed For each pun I shed I would not have a puny shed In which to hide my punished head. Posted by david f, Saturday, 5 April 2014 9:59:38 AM

Scene : On Monaro. Dramatis Personae : ex uno, plures. changing the sequence of the words is no solution. E (or ex, before a vowel) makes the noun go to the ablative Shock-headed blackfellow, Boy (on a pony)... we know thats nonsense but it dont feel right..just posting the tube link Posted by one under god, Saturday, 5 April 2014 10:25:44 AM

Dear david f. & One Under God, . Referring back to my previous post regarding the surrogate motherhood of Mary, inseminated by the Holy ghost in order to give birth to Jesus, you may wish to consider the "seminal" case of surrogate motherhood in the USA, known as “baby M”. In the case of “baby M”, on appeal, the New Jersey supreme court “assumed” that the surrogacy agreement was declared void and found that the exchange of “money” for a child was “illegal, perhaps criminal and potentially degrading to women”. Reviewed in the light of the case of “baby M”, it is debateable whether there was a surrogacy agreement or not between Mary and God. She does not appear to have been given any choice in the matter. It appears she was simply "informed" (warned?) by the angel Gabriel: “The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God “. [Luke 1:35 (King James Version)]. If there was an agreement, it was purely verbal and, of course, cannot be proven as there were no witnesses. It could, perhaps, be argued that there was a tacit agreement because at no point does Mary appear to protest or object in any way. Whatever the case, the baby, Jesus, would be morally and legally the son of Mary and Joseph, not the son of God. Though the bible remains silent on this point, that is surely how the citizens of Bethlehem greeted Jesus and accepted him as a member of their community. Here is the video : http://www.nytimes.com/video/us/100000002781402/baby-m-and-the-question-of-surrogacy.html?playlistId=100000002148738 Thank you, David for the Hindu "U pan I shed" poem. It just goes to show you that great minds think alike. And thank you One Under God for that Japanese snow dance and Edward Scissorhand’s ice dance. I hear there has been some rather hot weather in Australia lately. Viewing those videos must be quite refreshing. . Posted by Banjo Paterson, Monday, 7 April 2014 1:05:47 AM

<<>.For example, if we gaze on the Lapis Lazuli-orb of Gabriel, the Divine Messenger, a sacred oracle opens through the lineage of the wisdom traditions, and as though from God’s voice itself. This oracle moves us through the sands of time, to a far distant memory of the Atla Priests of Atlantis, through to the Ancient Egyptian Gods, then on to the Greek and Roman Gods and Goddesses. After a period of darkness, the line once more reappears through the light of Carl Jung’s extraordinary work, through the aspects of the 12 Archetypes he brought to our attention.
You will also see against the orb, a sacred sigil that contains, in geometric form, the essence of the Angel’s heart. Sigils are ancient mystical symbols that hold the force of an entity. In the second oracle the ANGEL HEART SIGULS, the Angels of Atlantis have given us powerful teaching about the heart as the seat of the soul.>>..
