TABLET 1 EPIC OF GILGAMESH

supposedly 'comparable' to the Genesis creation story.

Out I went, into the world, but there was none better, none whom he, Gilgamesh, could not best.
And so, with his arms, he returned to Uruk. But in their houses, the men of Uruk muttered:
'Gilgamesh, noisy Gilgamesh! Arrogant Gilgamesh!'
All young men gone - Defeated by Gilgamesh, and no son was left to his father.
All young girls made women by Gilgamesh
His lusts are such, and no virgin left to her lover!

GENESIS 1:1 "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth"

um.. I rather like the 2nd :)

That comes as no surprise BOAZ_David :). I use words like that when people tell things they know rather then things they think. As for your like I did not listen to any of the audios but I had a look at the tittles seemed the usual fair until I got to the last one "Would Jesus Drive a BMW?" that seemed interesting might even download to see what he is saying.

The meaning of life? Life , with all its toil, tears, sweat, pain, disappointments, injustice and tragedy [interspersed with occasional happiness] DOESN'T make any sense at all UNLESS you regard it and accept it as a test, a trial run for another life to come, when you'll be judged on how you lived your life.

Had to take a break Boaz. Just a personal view ref. Book of Big Al 30, chapter 1 verse 1. I will read Ecc as you suggest. I had a contribution to the WA homosexual issue but the site seems jammed.
You are doing a great job. More power to your keyboard!
