[To be a martyr for Christ is to enter Heaven. To make someone a martyr is to enter Hell.]
See, now there's those "REGIMEN OF THEIR BARBAROUS ANCESTORS" feathers again, Comrade Oprichniki.
Whirled any martyred Peacocks lately?

Did anyone here claim that?
“What if I buy some indulgences, can I still get a vacation to Planet Kolob?”
Can you buy indulgences? Is there a planet Kolob?
“Oh wait, that’s the wrong fraudulent Mystery Cult.”
How many cults do you imagine?

Do you whirl peacocks? Is that before or after your meds?
[I don’t see anywhere where Jefferson claimed to know with certitude that there were men who were eunuchs running a “fraudulent Roman Mystery sun-cult”.]
The Eunuchs who've been propping up your Roman Mystery sun-cult are a self-evident example of precisely that; as are the Ayatollahs and Mufti's who prop up the Islamic version.
Got Morals and Dogma, Comrade Oprichniki?
>>Do you whirl peacocks?
Nah. That's just another religious facade propped up by "BARBAROUS ANCESTORS" for the dominion of others:
"So saying, the Angel Peacock, Melek Taus as we call him, spread his wings and flew away over the inaccessible mountain-tops. That is why we Yezidi, the descendants of that compassionate shepherd, sing hymns to appease and glorify the Spirit of Evil to this very day. Our hymns are scorned by the rest of the world. Both Christians and Muslims alike hate and persecute us. They call us 'Muraddun'-- Infidels and Devil-Worshippers. Our priests, Qawasls, travel secretly and do not wear priestly robes. They carry with them, hidden away from Muslim and Christian eyes, the effigy of a peacock. When we pray, we do not turn towards Mecca like the Muslims but towards the Polar Star, the immovable source of light in darkness, the point of the axis round which the whole universe resolves."

Why is it, Comrade Oprichniki, that folks like you who assert that their mythological concoction is superior to that of others - are nearly ALWAYS so ignorant of that to which they assert their superiority?
Would you say your ignorance is superior to that of the Jihadi murderers - or more or less equal in that, as long as you're "THE HAND OF GOD" like Ivan IV was, you're all morally superior and self-righteous in your own eyes?

You have barbarous ancestors? Do tell.
“Why is it, Comrade Oprichniki, that folks like you who assert that their mythological concoction is superior to that of others - are nearly ALWAYS so ignorant of that to which they assert their superiority?”
Since I am not “Comrade Oprichniki” I don’t know who you’re talking to.
“Would you say your ignorance is superior to that of the Jihadi murderers - or more or less equal in that, as long as you’re “THE HAND OF GOD” like Ivan IV was, you’re all morally superior and self-righteous in your own eyes?”
Between the two of us, you’re the one who has shown ignorance. That won’t change either.
“The Eunuchs who’ve been propping up your Roman Mystery sun-cult are a self-evident example of precisely that; as are the Ayatollahs and Mufti’s who prop up the Islamic version.”
Again, I don’t see anywhere in that where Jefferson claimed to know with certitude that there were men who were eunuchs running a “fraudulent Roman Mystery sun-cult”. When you find that let me know. Otherwise, it will be yet another epic failure on your part.
“Got Morals and Dogma, Comrade Oprichniki?”
Find that quote in Jefferson yet?
No? I didn’t think so. Another failure on your part. You will continue to fail too, of course.
