Remember all those ancient texts and images that say humans were created by gods from the heavens? Yeah, gods making humans. Well, the interpretations were wrong. I mentioned how words like 'god' and 'angels' and 'heaven' didn't exist in ancient languages and usually the concepts didn't either. Fraudulent archeologists just looked at the images and said "this should be a god" and "that should be an angel" A lot of cultures drew images retelling how they came from somewhere outside the planet and settled here. Mayans, Hebrews, Greeks. They  were talking about their ancestors from above. But later in Europe, some mentally diseased folks decide

Now that the December 21 2012 disaster has passed and we live in a post-apocalyptic world where everyone's killing each other and animals are dying and the water is undrinkable, I want to talk about things like pole shifts and consciousness shifts and crap like that. Before bandits with badges kill me. As usual you can bet that I'm not reiterating any commonly-held views. I'll start with the book of Genesis because I think it mentions the 'consciousness shift' thing those new agers are talking about, but of course it's not what they think. We know the story of 'the fall' where humans fell from grace. It's told by many cultures in many ways.

I wonder if anyone else has noticed this in recent movies. In the old days (a whole 15 years ago and prior), movie scripts and visuals weren't held to very high standards. They just didn't have a lot of ideas to occupy the two hours they ran for, so they often had dead spots or moments when vaguely interesting things were kept on screen for way too long. Sometimes they'd focus on a piece of scenery or a group of people we don't especially care about. And we'd often go to movies for the impressive visuals we saw in the previews, only to realize those previews were all the movie had to offer. Now it seems like movies are doing the opposite. L
