# Bethlehem sets millennium plans. JERUSALEM (AP) - Jesus' birthplace of
Bethlehem will celebrate the new millennium with 2,000 white doves, a
lineup of world-class choirs & biblical hikes in the footsteps of Mary
& Joseph. 3-year $160 million Bethlehem 2000 project proceeds apace:

# Also: Israel, Jordan marking Jesus' path with painted gold footsteps:
http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2562143577-fe2
: Since Yeshua ben Yusef [aka Jesus, son of Joseph, err, of {JHWH}] wasn't
born anywhere near 1/1/0001, why have a birthplace celebration now? Will
only the terminally innumerate [and those who feed upon them] show up?
# LOVE TO GLOAT? GO AHEAD, YOU'LL FEEL BETTER. A German psychoanalyst has
given us permission to gloat - she says it relieves stress and puts us in
touch with our feelings. Germans even have a word for it: schadenfreude.

@ REPTILIANS - WHO ARE THEY REALLY? The ET Reptilian Aliens which are called
Reptoids are proportional in size to modern humans. They have a snake like
or lizard appearance. These are highly advanced entities but of a negative
hostile or dangerous disposition since they regard humans as a totally in-
ferior race. They would perceive us much the way we would perceive a herd
of cattle. Info on these beings varies from source to source. Supposedly
they consider Earth their ancient outpost & want to have complete control
over it as their planet is becoming unable to adequately support life.
Never hiss at them: http://www.greatdreams.com/reptlan/reps.htm
: Who are your favorite ETs? Do you like Reptoids? Ever had sex with any??
Do Reptoids consider human/ET sex as bestiality? Do you like bestiality?
# Earth said warmed 55 mln years ago. (AP) Researchers have found evidence
to support a theory that an abrupt warming of Earth 55 million years ago
was caused by the sudden release of frozen deposits of methane from the
ocean: http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2562137988-1bb

# Naples Cardinal's indictment sought. ROME (AP) Prosecutors in south Italy
requested indictments against the archbishop of Naples, Cardinal Michele
Giordano, in what they allege was a massive loan-sharking ring. "I am
serene because I am clean inside, and someone up there knows it," Giordano
said, pointing a finger at the heavens. Divine beings refused to comment -

: Does your belief system have a sophisticated financial operation? Do your
deities provide for all your needs, or do you need to shake-down humans for
operating funds? Do you keep a percentage of contributions for yourself??
# Video Game Publishers in Damnation Shocker. Cue the ads for Shiny's
MESSIAH, complete with a doctored picture of the Pope taking a drag on
a "hand-rolled cigarette" with the tag line 'What on Earth Possessed
You?' http://www.gamasutra.com/newswire/eurospeak/19991117/index.htm

# MOTHER NATURE IS AN OLD LADY WITH BAD HABITS. The distinction between the
human animal and other creatures is far from absolute. We share some 98%
of our DNA with chimpanzees. We share basic bodily substances such as the
endorphins, natural opiates that give us the "runner's high," with earth-
worms. In fact, only a mere 50 or so genes (as well as several regulatory
genes that control timings of gene expression) account for our humanness.
Much of our "family face" stems from others who swam, crawled or brachia-
ted in aeons past. http://www.sciam.com/1999/1299issue/1299reviews1.html
: Does your belief system draw vast distinctions between yourself and other
humans and animals? Are you all alone, cut off from the rest of life? Why??

@ Dan Lietha's <http://members.truepath.com/DanL/danl2.html> comics tells us
that evolution <http://members.truepath.com/DanL/CWFishingForKids.html> is
a trojan meme from the evil Secular Media designed to corrupt good Chris-
tian children and that the Bible is only thing that stands between kids
and <http://members.truepath.com/DanL/EdCartoonPAGE.html> school violence.
And be sure to see: http://www.memepool.com/Subject/Memetics/
: Have you evolved much lately? Do you strenuously resist evolving? Does y'r
belief system prohibit evolving? What will you do when everyone else evolves
far past you? Do you have a safe niche? Do your deities protect you? Really?
