Why do Hispanic people have the nerve

Sometimes I read what goes on in the minds of others and am astounded by the deep thinking...

Other times (such as this), I am amazed at how some people make it through the day without injuring themselves

I completely agree with OP, my mom got pressured to name me jesus and i've always thought it was wrong and disrespectful. I should name my first kid Jehova to continue the tradition.

Do muslims really believe jesus was a prophet ? I have heard the radical muslims bad mouthing jesus followers or i think thats what they called them before they decapitated them in a vid. They didnt have much props for jesus lovers
They think jesus will come back to be king of the world because he was a great prophet of God.

To name their kids Jesus, but Muslimes will not name their kids Allah. Its a disgrace in a way. especially if Jesus kids dont like up to be just like Jesus. Its almost a disgrace in a way

Discuss
because it's a name just like "john"..the "j" is silent and pronounced Hay-suse..

I've never heard of a site where one needs permission to post links. I thought if it was on the net, one could do what one chooses with the info. That's interesting...
maybe it has to do with advertising and such?..i found this really good "growing weed for dummies" when i first started on another site and when i referred to the site (in riu chat) i was told not to because it would drive others away from looking for answers in riu forum.

...it's not the site, it's material that would be posted. Keyword searches are too easy, especially with certain subject matter. I have to get permissions to use some material. Not all of it was published, some of it was handwritten transcriptions from lectures from running theories. Don't get me wrong, I don't wax that scientific, but somehow I've been included in some discussions. If I should post something here, I have a personal responsibility to let those I'd quote know. I don't know how my smoking would go in those circles, so I'll keep it out of there as a safe measure. I hope you'll feel somewhat satisfied with that explanation.

*ask Pad if I've asked him to delete a post of mine before for that very reason.

The problem is then that your source material is no better than any random musings of someone that may or may not have any real credentials. My own sources are often my personal experience gained from courses at a respected university, and although I cannot replicate lectures or my notes, I am able to find supporting material on the internet, if only because my sources are reputable and are based on academic research, as well as my own ability to read biblical Hebrew. If your sources were in any way legitimate, the information would be available elsewhere, plus if they are posting their own material on the internet, how are they going to know that your linking to their material is by you personally, and not just some random person from RIU? You quoted some material earlier in this thread, did not give a link but I found it easy enough to find your material verbatim, and the source was questionable at best. If these are the types of people that you are gaining your information from, then you have a poor understanding of what is scholarly research into etymology and religion and pure pattern seeking based on desired outcomes that we see from every other area of pseudoscience.

...the questionable sources are the ones that I post, those are not there to support theory but to generate ideas. I find those sources questionable at times but find there is value in what is being said. Remember that not everyone thinks like you do. Not all can assimilate information at a scholarly level. But all should start somewhere, imo. The rest is up to them.

...what I will not link to are the materials created by PhDs that are helping me. I will not risk that help.

I'm not thinking in any special way except by using basic epistomological methods, or as Carl Sagan says, Baloney detection kit. http://users.tpg.com.au/users/tps-seti/baloney.html
You don't need a scholarly level if you can demonstrate veracity by other methods but problems arise when you make claims that are clearly contradicted by the most basic application of reason, such as discussed with trying to make the tetragrammaton and Yehoshua related by the mere addition of a shin, when in fact that letters used don't work that way.

If you post the links without a direct hyperlink, it would allow me to go to the site by pasting it in the address bar, and will not show a referral from RIU. Just post [thisisthelink dot com]. I would assume that someone that posts things on the internet doesn't really mind if people read it. There is no way to trace it back to you or the fact that you are on RIU.

A little paranoia is a good thing to stay anonymous on the web, but I think you might take it a little too much.

...I'll keep my paranoia/anonymity level where I 'feel' comfortable. I appreciate the comment, though, it contains a 'seed' of truth.

...YHWH, the 'highest' name. Are you opposed to the presence? I know it cannot be seen 'anymore', but do you see it?
