the Hyksos in case you missed the allusion, where supposed the "lighter" skinned Semitic folk who came to rule Egypt during the supposed reign of Joseph. Well they screwed a lot of things up, and afterwards, Hatshepsut did a lot of great things for Egypt.

Greatest Catherine the Great quote:

Quote:

You philosophers are lucky men. You write on paper and paper is patient. Unfortunate Empress that I am, I write on the susceptible skins of living beings.

Another great one:

Quote:

I shall be an autocrat, that's my trade; and the good Lord will forgive me, that's his

I was going to say "Harriet Tubman, please tunnel up to her spot..." but that would have required suspension of disbelief. Which do you think would have been the better choice? I tried to keep it simple.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
