    I guess this part is for those who need another " source " then the Bible itself....


    Now for the first time, one hundred and ten, 2,500 year old Babylonian tablets have been discovered in Iraq which provide a glimpse of Jewish life in Babylonian exile. Put simply, the tablets corroborate the Biblical tale. They describe a town called Al-Yahudu i.e., "the village of the Jews", by the river Chebar, mentioned in Ezekiel 1:1. They also attest to Judaic names such as "Gedalyahu", "Hanan", "Dana", "Shaltiel" and a man with the same name as Israel's current Prime Minister, "Netanyahu". The "yahu" ending to these names is called "theophoric", meaning, they attest to a belief in the God of the Torah, by including part of God's name in people's personal names. The tablets also record everyday business transactions and witness to the Jewish return to Jerusalem (Nehemiah 6:15-16), as commemorated in personal names such as "Yashuv Zadik", meaning, "the righteous shall return [to Zion]".

    It's completely irrelevant. There is absolutely no way of finding out until the time comes and I'm not the one to take things on blind faith. I consider myself an agnostic but lean a little bit more towards the atheist side.

    Not working the steps but giving advice about gambling?
    LOL needing "god" or a "higher power" in order to quit gambling is for the weaklings which makes up the vast majority of addicts. I never ever had the need for that in my recovery. Speak for yourself.

    Most areas have night courses that teach reading comprehension. Might be a good time to check into one of those classes.

    I'd imagine my ability to read an article and correctly conclude it doesn't say anything other than what it says qualifies me to teach that class. Let's get crazy and assume you're somehow right though; care to explain what exactly it is that you don't think I read?
