This was such a funny column. I love Mike Adams ... but he's married. Well, I am too, but why quibble?

[Mercat]

great column.

[redgolum]

Great article! If I was still on the road a lot, I would have to start carrying DVC for amusements sake.

"But when people talk about what “they” have discovered or research that “they” have done, I find that “they” generally don’t know what the hell “they” are talking about."

hahahaha

Great column. Worth the read. The conspiracy crowd cracks me up too. Loved that Barnes and Noble "fiction" department remark.

Great column. I'm always amused by conspiracy theorists. My own personal conspiracy theory is that conspiracy theorists are folks who lead such dull and uninteresting lives that they find it necessary to create a world of fiction in which they are among the few "elite" who really know the "truth". The irony is, of course, that their truth is fiction. And the reality is, of course, that our world is so complex and interesting that nobody has a need to create a fictional world no matter how boring they think their own lives are.

Re: Mike Adams' dialectic

Conversation 2

Q: Oh, I just love that book. Have you read about the Council of Nicea and how they conspired to keep out the Gnostic Gospels? It was all so political the way they choose the Books of the Bible, don’t you agree?

A: No.

Q: Well, why not?

A: I’ve read the Bible seven times, the New Testament ten times, and all of the so-called Gnostic Gospels.

Q: And what have you concluded?

A: The New Testament books were selected long before 325 A.D. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John were either written by eyewitnesses or on the basis of eyewitness evidence. The Gnostic Gospels were not. In addition to being incoherent fragments, they were written many, many decades later....

Jude 14-15 "Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, 'Behold, the Lord comes with 10,000 of his saints, to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.'"

Adams' logical problem: The following prophecy quoted in Jude is not found in the Bible. It is neither in the Old or New Testament. It is cited from The Book of Enoch--a gnostic scroll. Ergo, the original scroll has been redacted out of the New Testament.

Perhaps Mike Adams should consider a basic class in logic when writing. Adams employs logical fallacies of Petitio Principii and Argumentum ad Verecundiam: I read the Bible 7 times therefore what I opine concerning the gnostic gospels must be true. Mike, just because one reads the Bible a thousand times a thousand one can still be dead wrong on catholic redaction. The Catholics redacted the New Testament and the Jewish scribes redacted the Old Testament. These are undisputed facts by all biblical experts.

Wonderful column.

The Godhead of White by Dan Brown

"The Godhead of White is a shocking tale of suspense! ****" The Scotsman

For hundreds of years, people have speculated about the existance of The Gnostics. The Gnostics have kept the secret of Mary Magdalene for over a thousand years. A beautiful priest has stumbled upon their trail while solving a crossword puzzle. The Gnostics will stop at nothing to keep their secret, but can The Osirica stop *them* first?!

"The Godhead of White is a fascinating best-seller!" The Times

Create your own, completely original, Dan Brown novel!

A very funny column. Adams apparently likes to talk to conspiracy nuts. I can't stand it, so I won't be carrying the Da Vinci Code around.

Yeah..it's funny all right...disturbingly funny especially considering that the movie was financed by Muslims:

I used to think The Koran was the best book to read in the airport, simply because carrying it guarantees you’ll never get searched by airport security.

No, it doesn't.
