Mohammed and Aisha - The Perfect Love Story |
On Jan 15, 3:31 pm, Kangarooistan <kangarooistan@gmail.com> wrote:
Let us examine the Holy record of the Prophet Mohammed and his darling
bride, Aisha (Peace Be Upon Them Both):
SAHIH BUKHARI Volume 7, Number 88: Narrated 'Ursa: Mohammed (p.b.u.h.)
The Prophet (when He was 53 years old) wrote the marriage contract with
'Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her
while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years
(i.e. till his death).
Now, you may be wondering "Why did Mohammed marry Aisha when she was
only 6 and then wait until she was 9 to have sexual intercourse?" - Lets
go to the wisdom of the Shi'a Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini defined the
following limits and consequences for adult sexual activity with
children (roughly translated from Arabic):
"A man can marry a girl younger than nine years of age, even if the girl
is still a baby being breastfed. A man, however is prohibited from
having intercourse with a girl younger than nine, while other sexual
acts such as foreplay, rubbing, and kissing are allowed. A man having
intercourse with a girl younger than nine years of age has not committed
a crime, but only an infraction, if the girl is not permanently damaged.
If the girl, however, is permanently damaged, the man must provide for
her all her life. But this girl will not count as one of the man's four
permanent wives. He also is not permitted to marry the girl's sister."

Fair enough. Each to his own.
But just understand that Islam is totalitarian in a way that none
of the other religions are.
When Jesus said "Give to Caesar that which is Caesar's, Give to
God that which is God's", that is whole basis for many Western
countries where there is a separation of Church and State.
That gives enough wiggle room to allow Freethinkers, different
religions, Homosexuals, Atheists etc.
I think you will find that in ancient Israel the King was separate
entity from the priesthood. The concept of separation between
Church and State arose well before the time of Jesus.
In contrast, in Islam there is no difference between Church and
State, which means that in OIC countries they take it almost as
treacherous act if your not a Muslim.
Does this explain why Queen Elizabeth II is our Head of State, and
also the head of the Anglican Church?
Under the Law of Moses, the Levites (the priesthood) were in effect,
the government - all the other tribes paid the levites 10% (collected
the taxes), and the levites were the ones who interpreted the laws
and enforced the laws - they were literally, judge, jury and
executioners.
The powers of the King generally related to defense (the army),
foreign affairs and war.
You have rather a naive view of biblical history:
"Following Israel's establishment of their nation in Palestine, the
political structure remained decentralized for several generations.
However, eventually, crises-internal and external-brought forth a
strong desire for a more centralized system, anchored around a king.
Ultimately, in what follows, even the greatest of the kings, David,
acts with profound violence. He takes his captain Uriah's wife, the
beautiful Bathsheba, and sees to it that Uriah meets his death in
battle.
What follows are several centuries of a sad litany of one corrupt king
following another (with few exceptions). David's act of taking becomes
the norm."
(http://peace.mennolink.org/resources/binserts/b2.html)
Again, I am talking about what Judiasm taught according to the Torah
(the law of Moses), not whether the Jews always obeyed or followed the
law.

You're attributing the separation of church and state to scripture?
I don't think that's correct. The church has always attempted to control
our lives - and to this day interferes in the political process. For
instance, those in the know are aware that John Howard had an unwritten
agreement with the major churches not to launch a national investigation
into paedophilia. The church itself has always come first, followed by
people and God.
Separation can never be attributed to the church - it is due to the
courageous actions of a few who stood up to the persecution and dogma.
In contrast, in Islam there is no difference between Church and State, which
means that in OIC countries they take it almost as treacherous act if your
not a Muslim.
Fungus shrivels when exposed to air and light.
The Egyptian Supreme Court just recently celebrated victory over the tiny
Bahai faith (utterly harmless as a group) - denying Bahai Egyptian citizens
the right to indicate their religion on their passport.
They have to put one of Muslim, Christian or Jew (or never leave the
country).
And I think in the years to come Australia will be facing the same problems
as most other Western nations on Muslims.
At the point you might want to form alliances with strange bedfellows just
to combat it.
Unless you want all your Sheila's in burkas and all Australias gay and
lesbian people stoned to death.
Quite the opposite. 50% of muslims are women. The Koran says nothing
about wearing burkas. And in any case, so what if they want to wear
burkas? Pick a substantive issue - like education and these women will
be your allies. Add the enlightened majority of men & guess what - you
have a majority against the narrow bigoted mullahs.
I never for one moment said that we should sacrifice our principles.

Yes I am. It is the basis for it. All the founding fathers of most Western
nations know this.
In contrast (and I am not saying this as a put-down, it just is) in the 57
OIC countries, there is no division between church-and-state. That is why if
a Muslim becaome apostate in his own country, it is considered a crime
against the nation. (If you dont beleive this I can point out instances
where OIC countries have responded in court against Muslims decalring
themselves apostate).
I don't think that's correct. The church has always attempted to control
our lives - and to this day interferes in the political process.
Only for some countries, primarily where Roman Catholic is strongest e.g.
Ireland, Poland, Brazil.
But my primary meaning is that the church does not LEGISLATE - only the
government in a country does that.
In terms of the "church interfering in the political process", suppose a
Government was going to pass dubious laws on the mentally disabled.
The mentally disabled cannot speak up for themselves - would you like the
church to stay silent?
I would not want churches to so interfere that they actually legislate. That
is wrong in my opinion.
But I do want churches to act as consciences of a nation.
For instance, those in the know are aware that John Howard had an
unwritten agreement with the major churches not to launch a national
investigation into paedophilia. The church itself has always come first,
followed by people and God.
Well that is wrong.
One of the specifics of Christianity is that humans have fallen.
And in particular those in the higher echelons of the churches are just as
fallen as anyone else.
If the church leaders were right before me, I would ask them , "If Jesus
was before you right now, do you think he would agree with the policy of
trying to sweep paedophilia in the church under the rug?"
The answer of course is no. Have a look at Revelation 2-3. These were
messages to real churches round about 100AD. They were not uncritical, sweep
mess under rug.
Separation can never be attributed to the church...
Yes it can. Because the theological support has always been there.
If the theological support was non-existent you would be correct.
Sometimes there can be periods when churches go against NT doctrine.
But given time there will be Christians who stand up and say, "this is
wrong, this is not in line here, here and here".
Martin Luther took offence with the Roman Catholic Church over the selling
of indulgences
Wilberforce took offence over Slavery and campaigned as a MP in Britain for
20 years. Eventually Slavery was abolished
Martin Luther King was offended over segregation and racist attitudes in
America
They were all Christians.
There have been millions who have stood up, because they were convinced some
Goverment policy or Official church policy was not in line with NT doctrine.
And I think in the years to come Australia will be facing the same
problems as most other Western nations on Muslims.
At the point you might want to form alliances with strange bedfellows
just to combat it.
Unless you want all your Sheila's in burkas and all Australias gay and
lesbian people stoned to death.
Quite the opposite. 50% of muslims are women. The Koran says nothing about
wearing burkas.
You are correctabout the Quran. It just talks about modesty.
But the hadiths do talk more extensively about covering up of women.
And in any case, so what if they want to wear burkas?
No problem. That will be the first issue. It is where Turkey is now.
But 20-30 years afterwards, I can guarantee there will be rumblings of
making the OPTIONAL, COMPUSORY.
I take it you are aware of the police enforcing how women dress in Iran?
And I take it you are aware of the how women dress in Saudi Arabia is
compulsory?
And I take it that you are aware there are mobs in Basra, Iraq who will kill
women if not dressed conservatively?
And again, I am aware of women in Somali dressing more conservatively over
the past 5-10 years.
I have no problem with Muslim women wearing burkhas out of free choice in
Western countries _PROVIDING_ they are equally free not to wear them.
I see evidence of creeping Sharia in Western countries.
Pick a substantive issue - like education and these women will be your
allies. Add the enlightened majority of men & guess what - you have a
majority against the narrow bigoted mullahs.
Yes but it does not matter. The KEY POINT is whether the Quran backs the
Mullahs or the Women.
And you know what - it backs the mullahs.
That means even if the women win a temporary victory, they lay themselves
open to the charge of being Un-Islamic.
For 10 solid years, the UN has been bleating about empowering women round
the globe.
It has a snowball chance in hell in ever empowering women in OIC countries
because the Islamic texts back the men in keeping a stranglehold over women.
There has never been much postive movement in this.
If it worked out that the Quran and the other holy books backed the women -
yes I think the chances would be good.
But such is not the case.

How do you feel about men and women choosing to go naked in your local
shopping mall? Or when picking their kids up from the pre-school your
kids got to?

I don't dispute this. At the same time, the emancipation of women has
not been brought about through organised religion. It has occurred
through individuals opposing religion. Today, despite laws in every
western country outlawing discrimination of every form, we still have
male priests, male mullahs and male rabbis.
In contrast (and I am not saying this as a put-down, it just is) in the 57

then we would have the same problems.

Agree. The churches (of whatever religion) can be a positive force. But
where is the Pope condemning George Bush for illegally occupying Iraq?
The Church's silence of this can be taken as tacit approval.
For instance, those in the know are aware that John Howard had an
unwritten agreement with the major churches not to launch a national
investigation into paedophilia. The church itself has always come first,
followed by people and God.
Well that is wrong.
Yes, it is wrong.

was before you right now, do you think he would agree with the policy of
trying to sweep paedophilia in the church under the rug?"
Okay, so we agree that church leaders are mortal and are sinners like
everyone else.
But somehow the system allows them to avoid accountability before the
law. How do we fix this? Why are the police reluctant to enter the
monastaries and mosques and arrest these animals?
It's all very well for the Bishop to "turn the other cheek" but it
wasn't his cheek in the first place. Likewise the Ayatollah is not a mum
and has no empathy with nine-year-old girls, clearly. How do we flush
out these fuckwits and hold them accountable? Here, whilst it may be
more subtle (e.g. the pleas that it was an "isolated instance" and the
implicit plea to ignorance), the guy *responsible* was ultimately
elevated to the highest office in the land. How did this happen and how
can we prevent it - in the context of 'Caesar', i.e. earthly us?
The answer of course is no. Have a look at Revelation 2-3. These were
messages to real churches round about 100AD. They were not uncritical, sweep
mess under rug.

Closer to home, the Catholic church took the government to court over
detention of (Muslim) kids. Good on them. Ultimately Ruddock just
changed the law. Accountability works both ways - keeping the church out
of government actually strengthens its ability to be a conscience.
And I think in the years to come Australia will be facing the same
problems as most other Western nations on Muslims.

You are correctabout the Quran. It just talks about modesty.
But the hadiths do talk more extensively about covering up of women.
The old testament is the same. As you say, in the Muslim countries where
church and state were/are intertwined, the witchdoctors get to write the
law, and to insert literal bible-era male-dominated tribal conventions
into the law.
The underlying message is lost. Take it out of the tribal biblical era
context and the key underlying message is about reinforcing the
stability and cohesion of the family unit.
So not only was the original message biased (interpreted and written
down by a tribal male) but over time, the message has become more and
more corrupted.
And in any case, so what if they want to wear burkas?
No problem. That will be the first issue. It is where Turkey is now.
But 20-30 years afterwards, I can guarantee there will be rumblings of

women if not dressed conservatively?
And again, I am aware of women in Somali dressing more conservatively over
the past 5-10 years.
And these women are not only victims in their own society, they are
*also* targets of neo-nazis and bigots.
And it's not just women:
"In February over 1,000 Nematollahi Sufis peacefully protesting against
an order to evacuate their place of worship in Qom were arrested".
Hundreds were injured by members of the security forces and members of
organized pro-government groups. In May, 52 Sufis, including two lawyers
representing the group, were sentenced to one year's imprisonment,
flogging and a fine, and the lawyers were banned from practising law. In
August, Grand Ayatollah Fazel Lankarani issued a religious edict
designating Sufism as '"null and void'".
Several evangelical Christians, mostly converts from Islam, were
detained, apparently in connection with their religious activities.
• In September, Fereshteh Dibaj and her husband, Reza Montazemi, were
detained for nine days before being released on bail. Fereshteh Dibaj is
the youngest daughter of convert Mehdi Dibaj who was murdered in 1994
shortly after being released from prison where he had been held for nine
years for "apostasy".
Sixty-five Baha'is were detained during 2006 and five remained held at
the end of the year. In March Mehran Kawsari was released early from his
three-year prison sentence imposed in connection with an open letter
sent to the then President in November 2004.
In March, the UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief
expressed concern about an October 2005 letter instructing various
government agencies to identify, and collect information about, Baha'is
in Iran.
I have no problem with Muslim women wearing burkhas out of free choice in

I accept what you say. Personally, I don't have the time to study a
whole lot of mumbo-jumbo.
I have an easier method:
1. Ask the 'expert' (the mullah) what age it is acceptable to have sex
2. Ask a medical professional what age is acceptable
In the light of #2, ask the 'expert' to justify his position.
An honest answer to both those questions would vary over time.
Unfortunately the answer you get may be distorted by religious dogma,
political correctness or simple expediency.
In the field of child protection today many decisions by recognised
authorities fly in the face of existing knowledge about child welfare.
This is one of the most difficult aspects of the work I do in this area.
Many good people burn out and leave the field because of it.

An honest answer to both those questions would vary over time.
Unfortunately the answer you get may be distorted by religious dogma,
political correctness or simple expediency.
#1 will never have an honest answer. It will always have a deep conflict
of interest, biased by dogma and tribal customs.
For example,
"15.7 The Complainant on the other hand contends that he told Dr
Hollingworth the details of the abuse, and that it involved repeated
criminal acts. Whilst the Complainant did not specify the period over
which the abuse took place, he says that nothing he said could possibly
have justified a belief that the abuse was one isolated incident".
If Dr Hollingworth (what is he a doctor of?) had the interests of the
kids at heart, he would have taken the trouble to study the phenomenon
known as 'paedophilia' and he would have been aware that:
- offenders are invariably repeat the crime
- the affliction is incurable
That he did not study the problem can be concluded to be negligence of
the highest order. At a personal moral level it is hard to see how he
could put the Church before kids. Is this the kind of Church that God
would want?
I would expect a similar answer from the Ayatollah on the question of
age of consent - thick with CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
In contrast #2 (the medical professional) will have very little bias
because the medical professional will have no conflict of interest and
you will get a straight answer.
In the field of child protection today many decisions by recognised
authorities fly in the face of existing knowledge about child welfare.
Fools occur everywhere. What do you mean by recognised authorities?
Science (or applied science) is not perfect, but I would trust the
opinion of a psychiatrist on the subject on sex before puberty. I would
not trust the opinion of a priest or mullah because that opinion is
coloured by:
a) competing objectives
b) subjective information (scripture)
This is one of the most difficult aspects of the work I do in this area.
Many good people burn out and leave the field because of it.
Do you have any examples?
Do you see me reading the Koran or the Bible? No way!
I've read both, and a lot more volumes of what you call "mumbo jumbo"
besides. I find it best to inform my opinion.
It's a question of priorities. I'm not saying that I won't read
scripture at all - I'm saying that tactically it's better the ask the

This is not a Medieval book! The youngest writings of the Old Testament date
to about 300 BC! clearly "ancient" not from the Middle ages!
The New Testament dates (in an entire version ) to about 250 AD (again pre
medieval period) and the Latin vulgate version eventually compiled at the

How's Abiotic Oil going? In the bin yet?
Not even close to the bin. A paper published recently describes
experimental demonstration of the foregoing theoretical predictions,
whereby laboratory-pure solid marble (CaCO3), iron oxide (FeO), wet
with triple-distilled water, are subjected to pressures up to 50 kbar
and temperatures to 2000 C. With no contribution of either
hydrocarbons or biological detritus, the CaCO3-FeO-H2O system
spontaneously generates, at the high pressures predicted
theoretically, the suite of hydrocarbons characteristic of natural
petroleum.
http://www.gasresources.net/Introduction.htm
So, how much petroleum have you formed by squashing lizards and
cycads?
Published the results anywhere interesting?
Here's an interesting paper for those that can still think.
http://www.gasresources.net/DisposalBioClaims.htm
=2E " Introduction.
With recognition that the laws of thermodynamics prohibit
spontaneous evolution of liquid hydrocarbons in the regime of
temperature and pressure characteristic of the crust of the Earth, one
should not expect there to exist legitimate scientific evidence that
might suggest that such could occur. Indeed, and correctly, there
exists no such evidence.
Nonetheless, and surprisingly, there continue to be often
promulgated diverse claims purporting to constitute "evidence" that
natural petroleum somehow evolves (miraculously) from biological
matter. In this short article, such claims are briefly subjected to
scientific scrutiny, demonstrated to be without merit, and dismissed.
The claims which purport to argue for some connection
between natural petroleum and biological matter fall into roughly two
classes: the "look-like/come-from" claims; and the
"similar(recondite)-properties/come-from" claims."

"The eleven major and one giant oil and gas fields here described have
been discovered in a region which had, forty years ago, been condemned
as possessing no potential for petroleum production. The exploration
for these fields was conducted entirely according to the perspective
of the modern Russian-Ukrainian theory of abyssal, abiotic petroleum
origins. The drilling which resulted in these discoveries was extended
purposely deep into the crystalline basement rock, and it is in that
basement where the greatest part of the reserves exist. These reserves
amount to at least 8,200 M metric tons [65 billion barrels] of
recoverable oil and 100 B cubic meters of recoverable gas, and are
thereby comparable to those of the North Slope of Alaska."
www.gasresources.net/energy_resources.htm
And curiously, Russia is now the largest producer of oil. They go
looking in
all the wrong places. Vietnam has also been doing pretty well (sic)
at
drilling in deep crystalline rock.
And from
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=3D47551
Why did the AAPG decide to hold the Calgary session on abiotic oil?
The answer is that the arguments and evidence for inorganic oil are
gaining ground, despite the reluctance of conventional thinkers in the
petroleum industry to entertain any idea that challenges so
fundamentally their core beliefs.
A key may be found in the English version of Kitchka's professional
paper, which he e-mailed to us - so many oil finds have been made in
bedrock structures that "Fossil-Fuel" theorists can no longer keep the
lid on. The paper Kitchka e-mailed to us is an expanded version of his
Calgary presentation. Kitchka makes the point that oil has been found
in basement structures all around the world:
To present time more than 450 oil and gas fields with commercial
productivity of the crystalline basement are known worldwide over all
continents except Antarctica.
The problem is that according to conventional "Fossil-Fuel" theory,
dinosaur fossils and ancient forests are supposed to be found in
sedimentary rock, not bedrock. The question of bedrock oil finds has
been swept under the rug by conventional petroleum thinkers for
decades. If oil is found where no dinosaurs or ancient forests ever
were, then the "Fossil-Fuel" theory may end up having been a fiction
all along. In more reserved, professional terms, Kitchka presents the
difficulty:
There are still no valid criteria for successful oil and gas
prospecting in the basement within the frame of the traditional
paradigm for the origin of oil.
Evidently the secret of bedrock oil finds cannot be kept any longer.
Kitchka describes oil found at bedrock levels within the deep earth as
the "final frontier for oil and gas exploration."
However, rather prolific pay zones have been tested in the deep
fractured entrails of some fields in West Siberia and offshore Vietnam
(Cuu Long basin) where petroleum-content spreads to the depth of
1,000-1,500 meters beneath the basement surface. Thus, it is obvious
that reservoir potential and reserves of the Precambrian basement had
been greatly underestimated for decades.
Kitchka's point is that paradigms may be shifting in petroleum
geology. As Thomas Kuhn pointed out in his classic 1962 book, "The
Structure of Scientific Revolutions," paradigm shifts occur in science
when conventional thinking can no longer be stretched to explain new
discoveries and substantiated evidence to the contrary.
In writing "Black Gold Stranglehold: The Myth of Scarcity and the
Politics of Oil," Craig Smith and I are arguing that the abiotic,
"Deep-Earth" theory of the origin of oil represents just such a
paradigm shift. We have also argued that conventional wisdom persists
in large part because challenges to traditional ideas tend to have
important political and economic consequences. We write that "Peak-
Oil" is an inherent corollary of the "Fossil-Fuel" theory. If there
were only a finite number of dinosaurs and ancient forests available
to rot into petroleum, then by definition the world is bound to run
out of oil sooner or later. What would happen to world oil prices if
the public ever entertained the idea that oil is naturally generated
by the Earth on a constant basis?
Given this perspective, we are not surprised to find "Black Gold
Stranglehold" has become a book that Big Oil does not want you to
read. Petroleum geologists with careers and decades of their lives
invested in "fossil-fuel" thinking are predictably uncomfortable,
especially when a half-day conference on inorganic oil is held by as
established a professional group as the AAPG.
-----------------
"Fossil Fuel" is just another primitive religion hiding under a cover
over psuedo science
and worshipped by non-thinking idiots, ie. you. How many Wyrms must
one crush to
produce a billion billion barrels of oil?
Why are the lightest hydrocarbons (gas) the deepest, the next dense
(liquids) shallower,
and the most dense, coals and tars, lying on the surface? Surely this
is upside down
in the great theory that somehow fuels are made by magically crushing
lizards with
incredible heat and pressure. One would expect the coal at the bottom
wouldn't one?

Q.E.D.
Ectually, Arthur is correct. This goes to show that out of the mouths of stupid
bigots, truth can truly emerge, and from the wisest, mistakes may arise.
How so?
Arthur refers specifically to "christian culture, descended from roman culture".
And a few moments reflection will reveal to the mildly educated reader, a
wealth of insight. That which descended from roman culture" was the practices
of domination, conquest, abuse of young boys, self-serving empire building,
the odd road, and incredible inbreeding of the ideas of a few wise men,
diluted by the foolish ranting of the "recitation" brigade, who edited to favour
their aspiration or mates.
One wonders about the rest of "christian culture", though. Including the extensive
amount derived from Judaism, the lump from Buddhism, the plethora from
neo-Platonism, the more than a speck from Medean culture, the dollops
from Persia, as well as the challenging behaviour of an uppity son of a
carpenter.
Although post-dated, there are profound insights from Islamic culture in
Christianity as well. Islam being a desert adapted version of Judaism. [One
needs to know that much of the Middle East became desertified between
200 BC and 500 AD].
WTF is Christianity now, but a bunch of roots (of merit varying from the
sublime to the genuinely ridiculous, transformed into one version of an opiate
for the masses). Is it all bad? Undoubtedly not. Is it all good? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

OK, I accept. Arthur is truly a bag of flatulence.
Perhaps I should have referred to the extensive hierarchy model of control and
domination which the Roman's developed. Christianity certainly copied that!
And without the centrality of hierarchies, Descartes may never have made any
impact, and IT would be a cottage industry...

'Tis true, Rome had an influence on the mess we now know as
Christianity. Quite a large
influence via Augustus and Constantine. To infer our legal system,
and culture is
a transition from Rome is a work of fiction. Just looking at the
etemology of MOST
words in the current version of English will show many more references
to the Danes
and the Normans than Latin. Latin vulgaris is still populated in our
language, but
not to the degree people assume. "Thee" and "Thou" are still popular
in Yorkshire.
"English Culture" is such a confused mish-mash of every bloody culture
known,
now and past, that it is stupid to try and put a defining "root" t
what we observe today.
As I pointed out to that half a bag of mal aria, we still celebrate
the Pagan Gods in our
weekdays. How civilised is that? We still call planet two "Venus"?
And most refer
to M24 as "Orion". Scrape the surface of "science" and "civilisation"
and you
can still find a LOT of bizarre notions.
Global warming as a religion is a recent example, as is oil being
magickally
derived from skished Wyrms in ancint rockses. Errrrr, yeah.

That's the fault of the amount of 4WDs being smoked around the bush at
the time.
I have proof.
The Book of Fonz
1.13.2 "Though shall take thy 4WDs and verily spin doughnuts
in the Heathen Shrubbery, ignoring the protestations from the
less than washed infidels that campeth therein."
Unfortunatly, the Book of Fonz has been lost, and no copies exist,
apart from mine.

Good or bad; it's bloody confused nonsense. "He's the Son of God" -
"Oh yeah, he's ALSO GOD,
so therfore a more powerful phrophet than your's" - "Oh yeah, he's
also a POWERFUL SPOOKY
GHOST THING THAT CAN SEND YOU TO HELL!"..... What fucking nonsense.

"Son of Adam", but most likely Irish or Scottish ancestor called Adam (church
linked) from between C8 and C14. The name Adam originally meant earth (in
Hebrew) and also used for "man" (as first man, came from earth, made by dog
spelt backards). The name became seriously entrenched in the influence of the
church of Rome, so people used it, in case it might save them getting a
bollocking by baldies with brown frocks...
Similarly Mary from Hebrew = "bitter", later one so named gave birth to an
uppity critter, father unknown. Curiously she became known as the mother
of dog, but dog was claimed to be the father, and the spirit was also involved
in the menage somehow.
Similary Eve from Hebrew = "life", also used for first woman, but there is an
alternative line that Lilith was the first wife.
Mark was the originally linked to Mars, dog of war...
And of course, Tomasso was the doubter twin of all these convenient stories
(and many since). Who was his twin?
