"Not a very Godly deed" ... well, the ancient Greeks probably had a slightly different opinion of what dieties were supposed to behave like. I mean, look at the Mount Olympos Clan! Incest, murder, rape, kidnapping, sodomy, fraud, violent assault, thievery ... they practised the whole repertoire of crimes. Yet the Greeks obviously had no problems accepting them as higher beings. Maybe they liked the divine show. Well, to be just, some of their colleagues were no better. Jehovah, for example, was a mass murderer - or how ese would one call drowing almost all mankind, or wiping out thousands of Egyptian children just to show Pharaoh who's the boss? Not to mention Baal, who demanded human sacifices - that's incitement to murder! Seen before that background, the whole Leda thing appears rather harmless, like a bizarre joke of Zeus... Greetings, Scriptor |

I can imagine Zeus arriving on earth and announcing "Take me to your Leda." |

Hi, Scriptor As always, you delight me with your wit and wisdom. But, as for this stuff about Jehovah, I wonder ... Were there any witnesses? |

Bryan, As of today you have made 998 comments. I just wanted to point that out to all so we can celebrate your upcoming 1000th comment. Bowler-ga |

Wow, Bowler Many thanks! I shall now rush out and buy myself a cake. I guess this will be # 999. Regards Bryan |

Oh Bowler! I suspect that thou has commmitted a Howler. I have just searched for my handle and 'about 1002' answers popped up, so I have evidently missed the milestone. But, of course, some of them were Questions that I had asked myself (possibly without further comment) and, with others, I would have probably made more than one Comment. So, I am at a loss to quantify the precise total. 'Now', I ask myself, 'Has Bowler got the necessary science to extract this important figure? If so, then this is indeed Comment #1,000. But, was it just a guess?' I have postponed plans to buy a cake for the time being. Warmest regards Bryan |

probonopublico-ga: In this age we find ourselves in, where humanity's ability to measure time in increasingly smaller units is surpassed only by our ability to find more things that need doing than time available, it is most certainly acceptable practice to take whatever time presents itself to celebrate greatness and rejoice on achievements. So, whether that was your 1002nd, or 998th, let's just say "now is the time!" and commemorate the occasion! Happy 1000th! Regards, aht-ga Google Answers Researcher |

Actually, upon further review (I feel like a video-replay judge here), your 1000th comment occurred ages ago. This is the 1001st or 1002nd Question (still in the GA database) that you have contributed to in any way, be it as the Question Asker or as a Commenter... and as there have been Questions where you have Commented where the Question has subsequently been deleted for improper content, this may well be the 2000th or higher Comment you have ever made! Congrats! |

Thank you, aht, for your Congratulations. However, I was hoping that no one was going to spoil this happy day for me by mentioning all those Questions or Comments that have been ignominously deleted because of 'improper content', invariably contributed by me. I estimate that these now exceed 7,500. Is this a record? And, someday, will I be commemorated in the 'G****e Hall of Infamy'? Bryan |

For Scriptor. Its very interesting that when most of the religious organizations that claim to follow the teachings of Jesus, have removed God`s name from their translations of the Bible, you should use the same name to call God a murderer. Yes!, Jehovah God [ name and title] did eradicate the total population of the world in the days of Noah, because of wickedness. Or badness, Or not complying with what God wanted.Genesis 6;5,11..."Every inclination of the thoughts of man`s heart was only bad ALL the time". "And the earth becvame ruined, because all flesh had ruined its way on the earth". The Bible says that Noah, his wife, his three sons and their wives, and representative animals were preserved alive. Eight people. Thes eight had spent the previous forty years building the Ark and warning others to change their ways. They were ignored. Because God created us, just like clay pots from the dirt, as the artist He has the right to destroy us. He also has the power to resurrect us, if we are deserving of such. Jesus proved it is possible through the example of Lazarus. John 11; 1-44. One interesting point. Why did not the parents of the three wives of Noah`s sons, who on the face of it were good people [ Noah would not have let his sons marry unworthy women] why did they not take heed of Noah`s warning. They did not and they perished. But keep in mind the scripture at Matthew 12;30 & 31... He that is not on my side is against me, and he that does not gather with me scatters. 31. On this account I say to you, Every sort of sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the spirit will not be forgiven. Man killing man is a sin. The selling of Jesus` life, by Judas, for silver, was a sin against the spirit. Judas will not be resurrected. Also the "Man of Lawlessness" , will also not be resurrected. This "Man", is mentioned at Second Thessalonians 2;3..Let no one seduce you in any manner, because it [ Armageddon ] will not come unless the apostacy [ teaching of false religion ] comes first, and the man of lawlessness gets revealed, THE SON OF DESTRUCTION". This "Man" is neither governmental nor commercial organizations, [ an organization cannot be resurrected ] and is more than just one individual. It is a group of men teaching wrong spiritual things. We dont have to look very hard to know them. |

probonopublico-ga: Upon even further review (this is starting to look like an NHL hockey game, with video reviews coming into play at least once a game these days), it looks like there are only 920 current posts where a comment by you has appeared. Even with multiple comments per post, you're probably below 3000 comments total, I'm afraid. As you'll have seen from your other Q (Tribute to Pink), the illustrous pink one has commented on at least 6028 questions. Wow. |

Actually PB, Zeus was constantly turning himself into things and seducing women. That's why his wife, Hera, was such a world class *itch all the time! A good chunk of the Greek pantheon are byblows of Zeus, including Hermes, Dionysus, and Athena, as well as Heracles. He seduced various and sundry women as a swan, a giant bull, a shower of gold, and so on. Quite the stud, was ol' Zeus! The Greek gods were a lot more ..er.. human than some of our modern deities. :> - Hammer |
