Comment on Fun with the Bible: Was the Author of the Gospel of Luke Really a Woman? by Jay Solomon

Excellent! I’m so glad you agree. I read a lot of scholarship on this sandwiched in between multiple readings of this gospel and I’m totally convinced. I’m not sure that she – the author – could also be the beloved disciple or Jesus’s wife (I believe there was such a disciple, but I don’t think this was her) because she makes similar mistakes in geography that the other synoptic gospels make that no one living in ancient Judea would ever have made. But a woman no doubt!

The original gospel writer was definitely a woman, and moreover, I believe she was in fact the “beloved disciple” Jesus closest, companion, perhaps wife–check out the end of “John”. There are many clues in this Gospel (of John) as well. I’d love to talk more! Not many people consider this possibility! The clues are quite probably intentionally embedded in the text.

Comment on Around the World Pics: Me at an Incredible Temple in Egypt by Jay Solomon

This Temple was on the opposite side of the Nile from Luxor. While staying in Luxor we paid a cab driver to take us to the Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens and a few other locations on the other side of the river where there are a number of amazing Temples and sites. It’s about a 6-8 hour train ride south of Cairo.

Comment on In “Red Hot Catholic Love,” Father Maxi Saves the Vatican and Catholicism by dakota

I love this episode… my sister and I were flipping channels one day and found a history channel show about the Vatican and discussed (again, as we have many times) the out-of-touchness of the catholic church. We were raised Catholic, but drifted away as we grew up, and now it just seems silly. Well, all the rules and everything seem silly, the Catholicism that Father Maxi describes actually makes sense

Comment on South Park Rails Against BMI and Government Involvement in Silly Weight-Based Matters by The Writer

The Writer — Fri, 27 May 2011 05:04:45 +0000

Interesting. I didn’t really see the BMI debate in that episode, but after reading your analysis, I can see how that could have been one of the arguments they were making. The great thing about South Park is that they satirize so many different concepts and current events in each episode. One of my favorite shows.

Comment on Shyamalan’s The Happening Sucks Donkey Balls by Naomi

This has to be a comedy… There’s no way they were serious when making this.
I have a perfect explanation! They were high. Simple as that.

Comment on Around the World Pic: Texas Honkey Tonk Cantina in Tallin, Estonia by e1aine

That would be brilliant. I could really suprise some people with that. Don’t worry if you can’t remember. I’ll do some investigating!

Ah, nuts – I wish I could. I remember it was in the Old Town a bit off from the central area but not far (I was able to run back to our hotel, after all). I’m going to ask my friend (pictured center) and see if he can recall more precisely.
