Explaining The Bible To ThickShades – by HappyCabbie

Thank you to happycabbie for making this video. No doubt ThickShades will accuse me of running scared from his questions and/or getting someone else to answer them for me. I will let you decide whether there is any merit in such an argument (if it is advanced). The reason that I have no inclination to address his questions is as follows. Firstly, I have frequently challenged theists to prove to me that the Bible is indeed the word of god. I have offered my immediate conversion should they be able to do so. No one has yet succeeded. Until such time as someone can provide such evidence, then quoting the bible at me is not going to impress me. You may as well read a Harry Potter book to convince me that Hogwarts exists. Why many theists fail to appreciate this basic point is beyond me. Secondly, I have no idea which version of the bible thick relies on. There are many. Thirdly, i do not know which of the 30000 denominations of theisism he adheres to – or maybe he has his own unique interpretation. As for the question “What happens when someone is re-born?”, the answer, so far as I can tell, is that they go through a mental process not dissimilar to a lobotomy. The idea of giving you my skype address is as appealing to me as eating my own excrement; sticking hot needles in my eyes or chewing my own nipples off. Until you get an education, or have a coherent argument to advance, then I see little point in any discourse with you” If you have not seen my previous video “What …

Also to be find on the sampler album “DANCE INTO ETERNITY: Selected Pieces 1987-1998” (released 2001). Listen & Enjoy it. Turkish “hasret” means “hunger for”, “missing greatly”, “yearning”, “nostalgia” . Omar Faruk Tekbilek had been studying Sufism, the mystical branch of Islam, with the thought of becoming a Sufi cleric. At 15, he quit school to become a professional musician. “But I never quit studying, though,” he maintains. “In fact, I am still studying; it’s endless. Music for me is not something to show off. It’s my life. It’s the shortest path to God. Playing is prayer for me.” He went to Istanbul and at the age of 17 met the Mevlevi Dervishes, the ancient Sufi order of Turkey. He did not join the order, but felt profoundly influenced by their mystical approach to sound and to the spirit. Another, almost equally mystical influence would soon appear, from an unlikely source. The young Tekbilek became friends with a saxophone player named Burhan Tonguch, who had some unusual ideas about music theory. “He would say things like, let’s play for birds, let’s play for pictures. He put the idea in my mind that everything is a rhythmic instrument. And everyone is a percussionist. Without the strike, there is no sound.” Despite, or perhaps because of, this unconventional outlook, Faruk’s skills were much in demand in the studios of Istanbul, and in 1971, at the age of 20 …
