The book is the one Glen has mentioned. I wrote it in the beginning of the Pandemic two years ago. My employer put us on paid leave for at least 1 or 2 months, supported by the state, and I used the time to take Coursera courses and to write something. Since I could not find a publisher I have published it myself at a self-publishing service. In the beginning I was a bit frightened someone would come and murder me, because it is about the secret of the church. The real secret. I think I have found it. But I could not find an explanation why no one has found it before, except David S. Wilson who was very close. One explanation would be that they people who tried have been killed. This may sound odd but people have been killed for religious cartoons. Luckily nobody really seems to care, except this list, which is a maybe a good thing, since I don't want to be murdered :-)-J. -------- Original message --------From: Steve Smith <sasm...@swcp.com> Date: 6/14/22 12:21 (GMT+01:00) To: friam@redfish.com Subject: Re: [FRIAM] Cultural Evolution Redux Jochen - I feel like an angel (or devil) dancing on the head of the FriAM pin! I wasn't able to get traction on the first post due to a blind spot I think I have about the details of the history of Christianity. More and more of it gets *through* to me each time I read it, but because I have *broad* knowledge (with no depth anywhere) I was left with questions like "what about the Coptics?" and an anecdote: A few years ago, driving across Aamon Bundy country in W. Washington A 4door dually diesel blew past me (70mph) at 90mph "rolling coal" and sporting a bumper sticker that said "if it ain't King James, it ain't Bible!". I have no idea what that was all about (any of it really, but the bumper sticker in particular). My best guess was that it was a dismissal of Catholicism in particular? Or maybe the LDS church or maybe Protestant sects that were not close to his? Doesn't LDS defer to King James and just layer on their own Latter Day stuff over it? I will dig deeper into the second post as I have developed a fondness for Oracles (primarily the I Ching) over the decades as a method for self-examination. I don't think I know of your published book?
