Jesus Christ / God: Chronology | Cosmic Consciousness | God vs. Science | Jesus in England | Jesus in India | Life of St Issa | Reincarnation | Jesus, Mary and Joseph. 1. God & man I have come down from heaven (Jesus, John 6:42) The historical figure of Jesus Christ is nothing less than controversial. To Christians, Christ is God, the creator of all things, eternal and beyond understanding; to Muslims Christ is a mere prophet; to atheists, nobody in particular; and to some, Christ never actually existed, but is a pure fiction. The present writer believes in the first assertion - that Christ is nothing less than God - an immortal, intelligent entity of infinite power, infinite ability and infinite existence. As such, the following chronology of the period in which Jesus Christ existed on planet Earth - a period of approximately 130 years - is based on descriptions in the Bible and other historical documents such as the Gnostic texts which memb...

Why did the Ethiopian Bible maintain references to Yahweh unaltered? When raising the issue of the dark nature of Islamic ideology and the Qur'an , one is often faced with the deferred " Yes, but... " relativistic argument that Ch...

 Frankenstein: Australia | Berry & Frankenstein | Victor Frankenstein confronts the monster. Frankenstein has nothing to do with Australia - right? Well yes, but ... Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is an international cultural phenomenon, moving beyond its notoriety as a classic of Gothic fiction from 1818, on into present day pop culture where reissues of the book and as film and video and performance piece on stage and in art remain prescient. Australia, as one of the second-tier Western societies has obviously fallen under the influence of the monster and the man. " It's Alive! " can be heard on the streets of Sydney just as much as in London or New York or Paris or Mumbai. So let's see if there is anything of import connecting the Antipodean continent to Mary Shelley's dark tale of death and artificial rebirth. ---------------------  Snippets Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's Frankenstein was first published anonymously in London around March 1...

The Leftards: Bandcamp | Cult of Ziontology | Discogs | Facebook | Gig history | Instagram | Vocalizing angst Way back in 2024 I made it known I was a big fan of the Illawarra punk band The Leftards when I did a blog listing a lot of their gigs, film clips and posters - a kind of visual history, without having to actually speak to any of the members of the band! I even obtain one of their t-shirts, and wear it proudly to this day. Unfortunately, I had only ever experienced part of a single live gig. That was one sunny afternoon back in the day (late 2010s?) at the Port Kembla Servo, when, whilst waiting for somebody nearby - I can't recall who or where - I stood behind a wire fence and looked on as this band in the distance, with a shoeless guitarist who I knew from the local Nippers club, performed a couple of songs. They reminded me of the Ramones - short, fast, to the point, no bullshit. Coming forward a couple of years later to 2024, as a former ...
