he did live in India, according to some scholars, I cannot remember the name of the village but some high level scholars are convinced. What is definitely known that a lot of Jesus's parables are directly from indian mystical teachings and that has been proven......The Bible was completly edited by the Council of Nicea (???splelling) when christianity became the state religion of Rome....All the mystical teachings were removed and two gospels were removed and gnostics were persecuted for holding to those beliefs....read the Gospel of Thomas...one edited out to get an idea what Christ really taught....His theology was not mainsteam christianity... hope this helps

This phenomenon is well-documented in the world of Peanuts (tm), in which mouths only appear when there is a NEED TO COMMUNICATE verbally. This parallels one common theory of ESP/thought-transference, which suggests that ESP events occur when there is a need for the two involved parties to communicate, but no way to communicate by so-called "normal" means. Similarly, Linus and Hello Kitty are normally able to communicate by means of gestures, deeds, and CARTOON-POWER BRAIN WAVE TALK, but if there is a specific need to communicate via vocal apparati-- for example, when Linus quotes the Bible or some ancient European folktale, or when Hello Kitty needs to reproduce her thoughts in a way that can be recorded for the production of her television program-- then _something_ _like_ verbal communication occurs.
As we humans are not socially equipped to deal with the unusual phenomena which occur when mouthless beings like Hello Kitty or Linus van Pelt communicate verbally, our brain organizes reality in such a way that we perceive it as a "normal, talking mouth". This will remind the learned reader of Saul-Paul Sirag's explanation of so-called "UFO sightings"-- that they are in fact psychic contacts or highly unusual mental events which the person experiencing them cannot consciously understand. Thus, we ascribes to these events the most far-out explanation that the knowledge of our age can logically permit-- UFOs, in the modern era. Previously, such mental or psychic phenomena were perceived as visits from spirits, or from angels, or from the Virgin Mary. It's all a matter of our subconscious minds sifting the inputs in a way that our conscious minds can deal with.
Given the facts that (a) Hello Kitty does not have a mouth, and yet (b) she appears to speak with a normal mouth in the television series, it would appear that we need to radically redefine our conception of Sanrio reality to accomodate _both_ facts. Impossible events do not happen. Our theories and reality-models must be lacking

Re: Fire baby Fire!!!
Sorry to jump in here but I have to state something with your comments...for the most part I have asked the same questions but by stating Christians so generally is not very accurate. Some Christians are taught to fear God in their practices but not all of the Christian religions teach this.
Not all Christians believe in "idol" worship. I do often wonder this myself though why some Christian sects do do this but not all do. In fact I got yelled at when I was little for having a cross with Christ on it by my Grandmother. She stated that the cross is not an idol but a symbol something to remember an event by. I guess really all it is is a justification for worship.
Again, I have questioned the same thoughts myself. I just didn't think it was fair to lump all Christians in one basket. Catholics, Protestants, Baptists, Lutherans, Adventists, etc are all Christians but do NOT all believe the same...if they did they wouldn't have different sects.
