Ping.
Regarding true religion— I wonder if in the US, the legions of displaced Christians wouldn’t rather learn about a deeper, older connection to their Creator? (see tagline, as you know.)
I love the intention and hope of the Revival or Bust slogan, but I think the Revival may be the Torah and G-d’s requirements for Jews, and Gentiles, chaps.
Ok Christian FReepers— Rangers lead the way-— but the FReepers, like Airborne, go ALL the way. Embrace the G-d of Israel and the entire world. Him alone. You’ll truly start a religious revolution in this country.
I don’t know, Phinneous. You may leave the “o” out of God, but have you really gone “all the way” like ZC? Have you left the “i” out of Christian and spelled it with a small “c”? Have you spelled “Buddhist” with an “x”? Have you spelled “Shinto” and “Orthodox” in lower case? (You may spell Catholic the normal way, apparently). But until you have done the others, I fear you have not achieved the true way of ZC, who has really gone all the way (or at least off the edge)!
The Thais will be surprised to hear that.
Oh, I know. Some so-called “Latinx” folks became Buddhists and they are the Bxddhists. But wouldn’t they be Buddhistx?
No senor— I never was a Christian like ZC.
Think about all of those lapsed Christians out there. They can’t wrap their heads around a triune god. And why should they? (”G-d is not a man....”)
SO what’s an American to do? Well, look at what the Torah says. It has to be 100% true for Christianity to make its claims. See what the Torah means for Gentiles at
noahide.org.
Enjoy! (or, enj-y!.... to make your joke!)

Well, do you prefer New Coke or Coke Classic?
“Classic” for sure! It’s...well, more conservative...much more! And not as much like being caught in a spook house with no exit. It’s nice to go somewhere and continue heading that way.
There was a very short time, though, when I was clinging to that New Coke and very afraid of letting go.
If there is a true religion, there must be some way of establishing just which it is, and religions based on "faith" are merely treadmills to nowhere. There is one and only one claim of Divine revelation in all human history that is self-vindicating. And let's just say it was a very long time ago.
A total mindshift is in order, in order for everyone to escape business as usual (hundreds of channels, nothing on).

Q: What did the Beach Boys know?
A: Who wins the beauty contest!

Sketchy etymology, that California. Something about being named after a black queen. Well if I had to hazard a guess - clubs or spades - the queen of spades *is* the black lady but why be content with an unfortunate, old maid status.
Queen of Clubs ♣: Argine, an anagram of Regina (Latin for "queen")
Clubs (clover, which is actually green) - it's like the rule about threes:
The Latin phrase "omne trium perfectum" (everything that comes in threes is perfect, or, every set of three is complete) conveys the same idea as the rule of three.
THREES <---> ESTHER
See, there ya go. The perfect gal. Winner of the beauty contest.
Most people are determined to steer clear of this kind of ride, which goes a long way in explaining why the Exodus was indeed a miracle. :)
Like God never heard of the Beach Boys (!!!). Looks more like He's a big fan (imitation is the sincerest form of flattery):
She's real fine my 409
She's real fine my 409

Well I saved my pennies and I saved my dimes

For I knew there would be a time

If you want a deeper, older connection to your creator, then you need to also junk
1. The Talmud
2. The Oral Torah as encapsulated in the Talmud.
What we called “Judaism” today is really the continuation of the Pharisee sect of 2nd temple Judaism led by Rabbis, with a changed concept of sacrifices etc.
This rabbinical Judaism was created by Rabbi Yohannan ben Zakkai when he ran from Jerusalem under siege in 70 AD and created a new religion that wasn’t dependent on the temple or sacrifices.
You want to have the “deeper, older connection” then junk all of what we call Judaism (i.e. Pharisee-Judaism) and Christianity (i.e. Jesus-movement-Judaism* ) and go with the Samaritans who stick to just the Torah and decry Jews who “added on” with the Prophets and the Oral Torah
* Christianity is a sect of 2nd temple Judaism and is a sister religion (strangely enough the 4 decades OLDER sister) to rabbinical Judaism.
The real, OLDER connection to your creator does not recognize the Oral Torah as a divine authority nor the rabbinic procedures used to interpret Jewish scripture.
=========
in fact the Mishnah and the Gemara are all YOUNGER than Christian (Jesus-movement-Judaism) texts
Net-net, the "Judaism" we see mainly today is the younger sister religion to Jesus-Movement-Judaism
the Samaritans rely on the Torah, and the Torah alone, as their sole religious text
the Samaritans abide by a literal version of Torah law. Eschewing Jewish practices that are rabbinic in origins, they believe only in the Five Books of Moses and observe only holidays found in the Pentateuch, such as Passover and Sukkot, as opposed to Jewish holidays like Purim or Hanukkah whose origins are found elsewhere in Jewish scriptures.
Their rituals mirror an ancient world that few religions still keep today. On Passover, for example, their high priest sacrifices a sheep in a community-wide ritual, where its blood is dabbed on foreheads and later eaten together with matzo and bitter herbs. On Shabbat, Samaritans abstain from cooking and kindling fires and pray barefoot in white, identical garments. And, echoing a routine taken straight from the text of Leviticus, Samaritan women move to their own private homes during menstruation for seven days of isolation.
Differences between the Rabbinical and Samaritan torah
In Exodus 12:40, for example, the Masoretic text reads: “The length of the time the Israelites lived in Egypt was 430 years,” a sentence that has created massive chronological problems for Jewish historians, since there is no way to make the genealogies last that long. In the Samaritan version, however, the text reads: “The length of time the Israelites lived in Canaan and in Egypt was 430 years.”
They are a group that consider themselves heirs to biblical Israel, just like the Rabbinical Jews. It’s important just to learn the remarkable tradition they’ve preserved for 2,700 years.
Though it does vary in both cases on which belief system you came from and to which belief system you went TO
To me it looks like at the time of the 2nd temple the afterlife beliefs varied completely from "everything ends" to "good heaven when we resurrect" and also changes in beliefs from the Babylonian exile - with the influences of Zoroastrianism and paradises.
Overall the different concepts of afterlives in various cultures are fascinating:
