For thousands of years, humans, first the priests, shaman, and the clergy, and then the ordinary people, have sought to speak with the gods, and then for the gods, always being secure in the knowledge that the gods would not denounce what they have reported of these conversations. So, why have the gods remained silent? Why have the gods chosen not to speak for themselves? T.: If we can move on now, G. What you you say is your nature or substance as an entity?  What is the essence of your being. The image of you that humans should contemplate or set their inner focus on, when they strive to get in touch with you? G.: Mmmm! Well, T! That is not a question I have been asked before.  Although I can quite see its relevance for all those who would seek to know and to speak to me.  As well as those who would declare that they are speaking for and on my behalf.  Yes, what is the nature of me, of God? Surely, I am not made of personified clay, of which I am said to have ma

The RT has attempted to deal with this challenge by making the purported resurrection of Christ an 'exceptional event.'  For example, only 'one of its kind', in the history of humans. To preclude the need for confirmation or proof of the probability, or, indeed, even the possibility, of a dead person being resurrected, in the Christian meaning of that event.  By pushing it way back into the distant eternity, when the 'Day of Judgement' comes, and the 'dead', who have long since been return to the 'dust and gases' from which humans evolved, will rise again.  Like Christ, but not quite like Christ, as they will have shed their physical bodies, unlike Christ. However, in doing so, and in the way in which it had executed this deception, by giving the impression that Christ had not only been resurrected in a 'spiritual', but also in a physical form, the RT contradicted another Christian belief.  Namely the notion that

1 It was, of course, no surprise that Vettel and his Ferrari Team proved so competitive and took the win from Mercedes.  They have, after all, drawn first blood by winning the first race of the Season; the Australian Grand Prix.  Lewis, Bottas and their Mercedes Team cannot and are not in any doubt that, for the 2017 Grand Prix season, they have an extremely tight and challenging campaign on their hands.  One which they can either lose, by making more and critical drivers and Team errors, unintuitive strategies and tactics, strategical and tactical errors, than their competitors. Or, conversely, Mercedes and their drivers - like Ferrari, Red Bull and others - can win the Championship by being more consistent in maintaining the performance of their cars, their drivers and their Teams.  In carrying out the numerous tasks associated with placing their cars on P.1 and P.2, on both Qualifying and Race days. There really is no room for errors, by cars, drivers or teams,

However, what is clear is that the Maduro government has been given the opportunity to make good its promise to make the people's lives better.  And it has, admittedly, under adverse circumstances, made their lives worst. Yes, the affairs of all nations are having to take place under very challenging circumstance.  So President Nicolas Maduro cannot really claim any exceptional circumstances, or expect not to be held to account for his country's dire predicament. But, for heavens sake, Mr President, avoid the tendency towards greater repression and cracking down on the opposition.  It is not the solution, and can only make a bad situation worse. The solution lies in your government demonstrating the wisdom to understand that Venezuela's dire predicament requires the country to  unite .  For all Venezuelans to come together and work effectively to pull the country and themselves out of the quagmire into which the country has fallen.  Any action by the

A big Congratulation is in order to Sebastian Vettel, for having won the 2017 Bahrain Grand Prix, on Sunday.  Having overtaken Lewis Hamilton at the beginning of the race, and making a lucky tactical pit stop, Vettel and his Ferrari Team placed themselves firmly in the driving seat to win the race. If Lewis or Valtteri were to overtake Vettel in the final quarter of the race and win it, it was vital that both of the overcome the challenges and drove a faultless race.  Unfortunately, Lewis made an unnecessary - although mistakes are never necessary, except for giving the advantage to your competitor - mistake.  By loitering in the approach to the pit lane, as both he and Bottas stacked their cars up for a simultaneous pit stop.  For this mistake,  which was probably due to a momentary lapse of concentration on Lewis' part, he was sanctioned by a 5 second penalty.  Which, despite some sterling and exciting driving or Hammering from him for the final 14 laps
