    When I first read this, I had an epiphany. I decided right then and there that if the bible is from some divine being(s), then I am definitely one the the "other people" and none of what is contained in it applies to me.

    That's fascinating. I have read some of Oberon Zell's books and writtings but this is the first time I see this....I've got lots to think about. It's strangely logic....

    Thanks, startingover. That was very interesting reading. I have never read Genesis from that perspective before.

    I wonder, though, whether they would think Yahweh later stole the thunder of the entire Pantheon by referring to himself as Elohyim. Much to think on...

    Yes, funny and nicely written.

    Btw, some people have held similar theories seriously... If I remember correctly, a_Christian came up with a very close version a few months ago, albeit from an apologetic perspective...

    I think, maybe, that Oberon *is* really very serious about it. The guy says he has sucessfully bred unicorns, afterall.

    I had heard this before, but like the way this is presented to the JW visiting them. I printed this one up it is well worth saving and sharing. I know if someone had shared that with me while I was a JW I would have been doing some re-reading of the bible creation story. But then I was always a very curious JW.

    Thanks for sharing that site, wish I could read the rest of it but it's not in english and I am language handicapped. LOL

    I know, I went to the home page and most of the rest is written in some other language, anyone has a clue of what it is? Anyway, I Googled the author to find more of this kind of stuff. Very entertaining.:P
