Below is an interesting blog. My friend, Dr. Jim Willingham, is one of the most interesting individuals I have met through "blog land." He is an older gentleman who was, at one time, an agnostic--if not an athiest. Jim's early life was full of trauma including a murder/suicide in his own family. We began on opposite sides of a Biblical Recorder discussion--each accusing the other of having starkly different views on theology and other issues.
I was bold enough to give out my email address and Jim quickly started communicating. We still have distinct differences of opinions, but Jim always brings to me some fascinating philosophical viewpoints. This web site is one of his latest!

For years, I have noticed the similarity between the biblical account of the Tower of Babel and a rocket which might reach up to God as opposed to a tower for the same purpose. The motivation for that human building project was similar to Adam and Eve eating the forbidden fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil in Eden. The Bible writers knew nothing of rockets, but they knew about building great monuments and towers trying to get closer to God.
Now, bring this to our modern era and the supposed Weapons of Mass Destruction used by the Bush Administration to convince the American public of why we had to invade Iraq. It is strange how we went from 9/11 to Osamma ben Laden to Sadam Hussain to Al Quida to Afghanistan, now moving toward Pakistan. We are getting deeper and deeper into a quagmire of East vs. West somewhat similar to the Holy Crusades.
This is dangerous territory!!!!
We, as a nation, are hated by many people who view us as intrusive warmongers who send the troops and our own Weapons of Mass Destruction against any who seemingly oppose us. I would have to admit they pretty much have their viewpoint affirmed. My most startling evidence is some Apache gun camera footage sent to me by my son's best friend, Scott, who is a Crew Chief on the Fighting Eagles squadron at Seymour-Johnson AFB in Goldsboro. They have recently been deployed to Afghanistan and just lost a crew to what is seen presently as "mechinical failure" and no time to bail out. Our soldiers are, indeed, dying on foreign soil today.
The gun camera footage shows men and trucks on a bridge. Interestingly, none of the men is carrying a visible weapon. As the footage rolls you hear the voices of the crewmen over the radio: "The one behind the post. Put the sight on him. Smoke him! Put the sight on that truck--there is a man under it! Smoke him!"
With each "smoke him" command the gattling gun opens up and the body is blown into mush! It is not pretty!
If that were your relative obliterated on a bridge with not enough body parts to bury, would you love the American military???
I am not sure US soldier lives, supposedly given for freedom, are not lives given to let the US possess the massive oil reserves of the Middle East. It will not be the first time we have been given an official rationale for war when money and profit were the real motives.
If you have seen "W" from Oliver Stone, it shows clearly the back room discussion as George Bush was considering waging war against Iraq. According to this movie, based on history, the discussion was clearly over oil rather than existing "WMD." So far, even our spy satellite technology has not produced any evidence of such weapons in Iraq! Those birds can see and photograph objects as small a 1' from space!
Now, another reality seen often in the news: We have trained scientists in nuclear technology who are in N. Korea which has a weapon--there is more talk of such nuclear physicists working in several Eastern countries!
What could be the result???
It doesn't take much imagination to forsee smuggling of parts / assembly in a large city / holocaust when the trigger is hit! Just as 4 planes were hijacked in a coordinated event, the same could happen in multiple cities.
Is it possible history is repeating itself and we could blow ourselves back into caveman days?? Is it possible the genetic material from dinosaurs could be mutated by atomic radiation into a backwards evolution so that man no longer rules the earth and the "Thunder Lizards" make every day a walk through a literal house of horrors???
Think about it and comment if you please.
