The 3 Abrahamic religions explained

This is one of the best succinct explanations that I have seen.

It is from this blog   DJ Allyn – The Soundtrack for my Life

The following is an accurate Description of the three Abrahamic Religions:

There are three major religions in this world — Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.  All of them worshiping the same God — the God of Abraham.

Each has their own religious book that outlines their story, their history, and rules to live by.

Think of each of them like a movie.  The Torah is the first one, and the New Testament is the sequel.  Then the Qu’ran comes out, and it reconstructs the last one like it never happened.  there is still Jesus, but he is not the main character any more, and the messiah hasn’t shown up yet.

Jews like the first movie but ignore the sequels, (Matrix Trilogy) Christians think you need to watch the first two but the third movie doesn’t count. (The Godfather Trilogy) Muslims think the third one was the best (The Starwar prequels), and Mormons like the second one so much that they started writing fan fiction that doesn’t fit with ANY of the series canon.

 

Of course, the author of this seems to have forgotten Hinduism and Buddhism which are also major world religions, but they do come from a different movie studio.

Links on H-1B Issue

As I find them I am going to add links about the H-1B / outsourcing issue that  is quickly eroding the life style of  middle class worker in this country.  All in the name of profit at any cost.

Why high-tech firms bring in foreigners

See link to blog below. But I can answer this question with one word, greed.

And contary to the report’s opinion, they do promote and put H1-B workers into advance position.

And what irratates me to no end, is that most of the recruiting companines for contract programmers seem to have fallen into the hands of folks from India. Add to that the fact they do not pay these workers the prevailing wages like the law dictates, and you have another screwing of the American worker.

How the Middle Class lost the Globalization War

I’m not the only that thinks our leaders have let corporations sell us down the river for quick profits. I’m not for protectionism, but if we are going to have “fair trade”, let make it really fair and equitiable.

There is a vast concentration of wealth with a very small group in this country. They do not care what happens to the rest of us as long as they maintain and grow thier greedy portion of our communal wealth.

My argument was and remains that I do not care if you have more than one piece of pie as long as every has at least one. That is not happening. These folks have 90% of the pie and 95% of us are fighting over the remaining 10%.

How the Middle Class has become Globalizations designated losers (They no longer have the article up at the Philadelphia Examiner)
