All
religions promise a reward ... for excellences of the will or heart, but none
for excellences of the head or understanding. -
Arthur Schopenhauer
What is equally as certain is
that religions punish those that challenge their sacred cows and
shibboleths. - Site author Michael Armstrong
Enshrined Ignorance
05/14/2019
The following is just a small sample of significant questions
leading to information that our
religious and cultural educational agencies fail to enlighten us with.
Get the picture? After reading the questions and the supporting
material, ask yourself if these did not plow the ground of your belief a
little, loosen your belief system and challenge your paradigm a little.
- Do you know that the ancient Greek word "hypocrisy" was always
used to describe an actor or puppet? Because these are not portraying
genuine or natural communication but SCRIPTED and controlled content,
the word means not using your
natural and legitimate judgment or critical thinking!
See: Hypocrisy Analysis
- Do you know that galactic rotation is axial, wherein the parts—stars and
globular clusters—revolve
around the galactic axis, and do NOT revolve around the galaxy's center of mass? See:
Galactic Rotation
- Do you know that Jesus defines sin, not as bad behavior, but as missing the mark in terms of
concept or understanding of God?
See: Translation Issues
and Sin Paradigm
- Do you know why the Mayans smashed massive amounts of pottery on the top of
some of their pyramids?
- Do you know why there is a profound difference between the concept of
a creator and the concept of a God that is never appreciated nor dealt
with? See: Site Approach and Article on
Something Meaningful

C4 and CAM--in the
plant kingdom, and that they were introduced at different times in the
history of the earth? See:
Sequence of Earth Life Forms
- Do you know why the city of Rome was first known as "Saturnia" and why
the first temple built was the temple of Saturn? See:
Ancient Saturn Worship
- Do you know that the words of Jesus, "Take up your cross and follow me"
should be translated as "Pull up your tethering stake and follow me",
wherein tethering stake refers not to a commitment to suffering but to being tied down with the trappings—forms
and spiritual influences—of the old paradigm or religion? See:
"take up cross fallacy"
- Do you know that most if not all Ancient populations worshipped the planet Saturn as
God or the chief God in the pantheon, and do you know why? See:
Saturn-Jupiter-Mythology
- Do you know that Satan and the Devil are not the same? That there is no
"Devil" in the Old Testament, and why? See:
The Devil and Satan
- Do you know that Sanskrit is a root language for English? So much so that
a speaker of Sanskrit and one of English could find enough common ground to
begin to talk with each other
- Do you know the history of Bible canon development?
See: Canon Information

- Do you know that belief is the wellspring for feelings and behavior?
That without proper belief, one cannot have proper feelings and
behavior?
See: Faith and Belief
- Do you know that essentially all ancient populations worshipped "the Bull of
Heaven" and why? See: Misc Ancient Myth Material

heavy handed non-scientific creationism dogma of the Church of England, and
was formulated by armchair activists that weren't even geologists? See:
Origin of Modern Geology
- Do you know that the average human female menstruation cycle is tied to the
lunar month of 29.5 days, and that this was not so during the Golden Age?
See: Saturn-Jupiter Material
- Do you know that Italy was first known as the
land of Saturn, and that
the Latins considered themselves to be the children of Saturn? "Be not
unaware," Virgil writes, "that the Latins are Saturn's race, righteous
not by bond or laws, but self-controlled of their own free will and by
the custom of their ancient god."
- Do you know that the first Christian martyr was killed by his
contemporaries because he denounced the prevailing religion as being just
Saturn worship? See: Sanctuary was Moloch's Tent
- Do you know that Globular Clusters are groups or "bubbles" of stars
within galaxies that maintain their structure wherein the internal stars are

opposing view"?![*]
- Do you realize that even though it is universally believed by Christians
that the term "Hosanna" is a term of praise, it
is NOT, but is actually an
emphatic demand which means "Save us now!"
- Are you aware that the universe does NOT exist in time, but that time
exists in the universe? See: Definition of Time
- Do you know that while the Originator may have created the beginning of
the physical universe, it is unfathomable that any agency worthy of the
term God created the predatory competition
system that we find earth's nature to be today? See:
Violence of Nature,
Source of
Creativity and Meaning of Evolution
- Do you know what is the most powerful religion in the world? See:

A little learning is a dangerous thing;
Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring;
Their shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
And drinking largely sobers us again. Pope

true belief on the Earth? See: Luke 18:8 "However, with the Son of man
passing, will he really find faith [πίστιν]
on the earth? Evidently not!" (Commentary - The phrase in question is
asked in a Greek rhetorical mode where the answer is always negative,
hence "obviously not" is built in and the " Evidently not!" has been added to give the true meaning of
the text in English.)
- Do you know the essential difference between Protestantism and
Catholicism?
For Protestants, the Bible is the "Word of God" and the J-person has put his stamp of approval on this idea.
For Catholics, the J-person has put his stamp of approval upon the understandings
and dogmas promulgated by the disciples headed by Peter, and the Pope is
the latest in a long line of God-appointed authorities, infallible when he is
speaking ex cathedra. See:
Reformation

level of validity and certainty? See:
Knowledge Categories
- Are you aware that when Christmas carolers sing "Noel" they are actually

and Bicameral Mind Paradigm
- Are you aware that Jesus at the last advised his followers to literally buy
and carry swords as weapons? See:
Synoptic Text Combination - Luke 22:35-38
- Do you know the difference between ethics and morality? See:
Ethics versus MoralityAre you aware that the disaster known as the "Great Chicago Fire" burned an
area about half the size of Oregon, wiped out the town of Peshtigo, with its
population of about 2000 all killed, 200 miles away, and was caused by a
piece of a comet? Nobody knows the total that died in that phenomenon. See:
Great Chicago Fire I,
Great Chicago Fire II

first 3 chapters that Jesus' ministry on earth was a failure at that time?
See: 4 Laments on the Failure
- Do you know that radiometric dating (carbon 14, potassium-argon, etc.)
is generally and usually invalid? In 1986, lava came out of Mt. St.
Helens volcano. In 1997, five samples of the lava flow were
analyzed and dated by the method of radioisotope (potassium - argon
method to be exact) : the result was not only that contemporary events
were dated differently, but that the actual date (just 11 years later)
yielded dates ranging from less than half a million years to almost 3
million years . The maximum percentage error committed in this
"measurement" is about to 2,000,000,000% , two billion percent! Try
not laughing at the thought that ancient fossils are dated using this "advanced scientific
technique."
- Are you aware that the entire structure of Protestant theology hinges upon 3
fundamental assumptions, which are among many others? See:

scar on a huge raised discharge blister ridge known as a fulgamite? The canyon was
probably scoured out, or Electric Discharge Machined out of layered underlying
material hundreds of thousands of years old, in less than 20 minutes.
See: Origin of Grand Canyon
and Origin of Grand Canyon II
- Do you know that there is another canyon a few hundred miles away in NW
Mexico, machined out by the same type electric discharge machining (EDM)
process, that is about 4 times as big as the Grand Canyon? See:
https://infogalactic.com/info/Copper_Canyon
- Do you know that "ring nebulae" visible in space are not really rings but
only look like rings when we are staring down the barrel of hourglass-shaped
Birkeland currents feeding the electric stars? See:
Nature of Ring Nebula
- Are you aware that the ancient empire of Rome existed right alongside a
sometimes more powerful empire, the empire of Parthia,
to which they generally lost the wars and battles? See:
https://infogalactic.com/info/Parthia
- Do you know that Thomas Edison spent his late years in courtrooms involved
in legal suits instead of being in his laboratory? It wasn’t pretty —he
fought against AC power with deception because his was DC.

into Catholicism and Protestantism but increasingly and more importantly is
divided into quite disparate "Northern" and "Southern" versions? See:
Religious Diversity

actually be the norm, showing the diffuse electrical current necked down on
and feeding the stars with energy? See:
Wings of a Butterfly and
