You can get some radio time on Coast if you have a book, maybe three hours straight. Bell, Noori, and Punnet, the interviewers, are very, very good. The topics would be of great interest to the Coast audience, all 20 million of them. Sales will go through the roof.
Thank you oh so very much for your encouragements, dear AKA Elena!
Congrats and Good Luck:)
On the Clinton books, I estimated it would take about 50 books to cover everything gathered on the Downside Legacy.
And to see whether there was a market for such a thing, "way back when" I did write a book on the subject of Missile Defense. It was self-published but at the time no one was particularly interested in the subject. LOL! It was written too early it seems.
At any rate, after that experience, I figured having all the notes on-line for researchers was the best solution to "getting the word out" until a hot button issue might rear its head. Timing is everything or so it seems.
Thank you so very much for your encouragemetns and for this fascinating sidebar you are having with Sam Hill!
Thank you so much for your encouragements! We'll let you know as soon as we figure out how it will be published.
Thank you both for bumping by!
Congratulations to you, both!
"Its likely Twain Didn't go to church at all. I don't know about lincoln."
Twain went to a Presbyterian church and never "renounced" Presbyterianism as far as I know.
Nobody knows about Lincoln's true religious beliefs. Not even his closest friends. He was completely and obdurately silent about them.
"well yes this is correct. the one reference in the new testament to Ishmael is that he is an outcast. and he is the line that the moslems trace themselves from. they took the other side in the arian controversy."
I know. They substitute Ishmael for Isaac in the Abraham story. In fact they claim Abraham and Ishmael built the Kaaba in Mecca on the spot where Abraham didn't sacrifice Ishmael.
It's another one of Muhammad's countless thefts from or bastardizations of the Jewish religion.
Same with diet laws, praying towards Jerusalem/Mecca, and on and on...
Thank you oh so very much for your encouragements!
Thank you, EternalVigilance!
Keep fighting the good fight!
1Timothy 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: 21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
I didn't know that, blam! I've always appreciated his insights on the general debate, but now that I know he is an Archeologist, that is indeed yet another reason to miss him.
Thank you so very much, Ready2go!
I'm not sure what you think the significance of that quote is.
Melville didn't like Christianity -- or any religion much. He thought religion had brought about a lot of inequity in the world, based on what he had seen in his travels.
Ahab undoubtedly was meant to express a lot of Melville's rants against God.
But Ishmael called Ahab insane. So Melville was at least conflicted.
(He's in many ways the obverse of Dostoevsky.)
None of this speaks to his belief or doubts about the trinity or the Arien Heresy.
Very interesting! I'll have to take a closer look later.
I was intrigued by bb's description. I'm looking forward to a good read.
