Oh, the answer to whether Jesus was literate can be find in the new

How very literate of you. It can probably be found there also.

Drinking again or doing drugs?

eight hour work day

Owen was a socialist, not a communist. He was an early advocate for a

shorter worker day.



The eight hour day came about as a national cause because of worker

strikes and other union activities in New York and Chicago and some

other cities in the 1870s and 1880s, 35 years before Henry Ford jumped

aboard that ship.

I'm familiar with the United Mine Workers probably getting the actual 8 hr. day, but Henry Ford was the first to really promote it and make it work well.

Owen was an inspiration to Karl Marx. so....

BTW, Owens euphoria cities (New Lanark England and New Harmony Indiana) didn't go over so well. Now they're not more than a tourist traps.

So, if Jesus was a teacher of the



Torah, what excuse can you offer up for his failing to leave behind even



a scrap of a scroll in his own words and writing?



Who said He had or needed too?







I agree there is testimony that Jesus knew full well how to read and

write. Taking that literacy into account, I find it more than just a

little curious that he left nothing behind in writing.

Harry,then why did you just questioned his literacy a ile ago



Jesus, of course, was born a Jew, lived as a Jew, and died as a Jew.

There's nothing substantive in writing to indicate he wanted another

religion to take the place of Judaism.

"...For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins..." Mat. 26:28



In fact, wasn't Jesus opposed to proselytizing to pagans?

No.

"Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit:" (Mat. 28:19

Well there you go then! God created Democrats and evolution after the 'big bang' created Republicans!

Your answer was cute, but Luddite's question still stands.

You know, John, sometimes it is hard for me to believe you've ever read
anything more challenging on a serious subject than an old Classics
Illustrated version. You're not someone whose thoughts on any subject
are to be taken seriously.

You know, foad, sometimes it's hard for me to believe you can take yourself and all your gibberish
seriously. Do you really think you're worth a serious thought? I don't need to show off my
intellect. I don't need to disparage the beliefs of another. And I sure as **** don't need to put
any thought into responses to you.

Luddite put in some thought to his question to you. The one you answered 'Democrats'. I suppose you
had to come up with something 'cute', because he definitely had you in a corner.

Lastly, your opinions are worth about as much as what I scoop in the little plastic bag.

Remember, you're talking to a raping, baby-killing, homophobic racist, eh?

His big answer to Luddite's well-put question compassion and survival of the fittest was very
telling.
