Any god you believe in. It's etched on your dogtags. You sign a paper that specifies what manner of prayer or service ,if any, you would prefer when you are killed. And the state pays for the funeral of it's soldiers... How is it that this generation is so useless and twisted that it does not know who buries the dead soldiers? There is not a university in the english world that was not founded by a protestant or catholic euro centric. You guy's are nutz. NUTTTZZZZZ :wacko:
My momma warned me about guys like you when I went to school. :unsure:
I just got The Crawling Eye widescreen and the second collection of Holmes with the Scarlet Claw. I'm going to watch that. No sense arguing with Lunatic fringe Nutzzz in time of war. Wackos who don't respect the crosses of the slain soldiers that fought the enemies of their own fathers. ingrates. :D
TAKE THAT Jeffbert and Fafner.... :wahah:

In your reading of my posts, from what do you infer that I did not know that the USA pays for burial of its war dead? <_< I do not recall saying anything about it.

Oh, if that's the case, then because you failed to specify to whom you were responding, or to which post, I insist that you kowtow to me five times for your neglegence, while saying "sumimasen" :lol: :D I am sorry for mixing the Chinese and Japanese stuff. :P

In regards to the crawling eye, I have seen quite a few parodies of old films in the cartoons I watch. One such parody of the eye was in an Episode of F! (Freakazoid).

So you must mean "no God"? I don't believe in any God, although I won't say there are not. Is it clear ? ;)

Does that mean the state pays for the cross? That means the state pays for the burrial and ceremony. This is of course a minimum for a state to provide to a soldier killed on duty. Whether the burrial includes a cross or not is not the state's business :D I hope you make the difference between paying for a cross, or paying for a burrial/obsequy that happen to eventually include a cross ;)
I thought you would have understood that from the beginning...

Who said that we didn't respect crosses of slain soldier? Personnally I just stated that the state didn't pay for it, nothing more ;)

Where does a government agent's loyalty lies? You seems to answer that the loyalty belongs to God, but that does not look convincing for me. Let's go back to Gandalf: you said he is an agent of the government, but you weren't clear to which government. According to what you said, Gandalf's loyalty would then belongs to God? Which God?

Well let us take a look at the origin of the magic Ring, and let us invoke it's power and revel in it's might. I would not do this in normal time space, but since I am under scrutiny by the dread Dragon of the north the terrible Fafner, And since if I slay Fafner I get a reward and Brunhilda Yum yUM....

"....Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren did. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.
[12] And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
[13] And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep.
[14] And she put her widow's garments off from her, and covered her with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife.
[15] When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face.
[16] And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me?
[17] And he said, I will send thee a kid from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it?
[18] And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave it her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.
[19] And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
[20] And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman's hand: but he found her not.
[21] Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is the harlot, that was openly by the way side? And they said, There was no harlot in this place.
[22] And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and also the men of the place said, that there was no harlot in this place.
[23] And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
[24] And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.
[25] When she was brought forth, she sent to her father in law, saying, By the man, whose these are, am I with child: and she said, Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff.
[26] And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.....'
Genesis 38 11-26
This is the signet or ring of the Prophet. This is the Ring of power.
And again...
"...But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:...." Luke 15:22

This is the mystery of the Prodigal Son. And the Ring appears again. From time immemorial warriors and kings and Knights have sought these things. The Ring that the catholic kisses when greeting a high church official is based on the desire for this Ring. A boy has desire for all things magical and divine etched in his heart in early boyhood. The Magic sword.... The Magic Ring..... The Magic chain that can overcome the Great Dragon.
But the basis for these things are in the Cosmic Divine. Mythology to some.
Rather than argue with the blind and wicked mind of the mob possessed by the Dragon, The wise just told all things in fairy tales and parables. But the basis of these remain the ancient Holy stories of what God did for Boys born of a woman. :wahah: B)

That's not fair, I have great difficulties to read that writting style :cry: Not to mention my knowledge in the Bible is not very extended <_<
Ok, let's be serious :P I managed to understand that some ring is implied in your text. I just can't find the word "ring" in the Genesis part, only words such as signet, bracelet and staff :o What is the link between those objects, the ring referred by Luke, the Ring of Church Officials, and the Ring of Power? All of them are rings, right. But what can link all of them beside that?

You continue to speak only your own language, only made of comparisons and metaphores... Not to say it is a bad thing, but as you can see nobody seems to understand you. Did you consider trying to learn our language? Personnally I try to learn yours although it is not easy ;) By learning each other's language we may reach a common language understood by everybody. I try to learn how induction can be an absolute inference rule, and you should try to learn how deduction can fit as an inference rule ;)

Sorry to put it back again, but although we made progress, you still haven't answered ;)
You showed a parallel between rings in Christianism and the Ring of Power. But you didn't specify where Gandalf's loyalty lies. That was the clear question :D
Indeed the fog around this node is much thicker than the other nodes. Could it be the end of the journey ? :P

No.... Faf. I showed you all things concerning the Ring of power. The real Ring. If I don't show it thus, I lose it. What you seek is there . That's all I will say on the subject of the magic Ring.. Green lantern, Gandalf, whatever. :wahah: Go watch a movie.

The ring is the signet (verse 18). It bore a particular design, that when pressed into hot wax (or, in the case of the Phantom, pressed into the bad guy's face*), left an impression. These days, personal signatures and letterheads are far more common; however, seals are still used. According to Black's Law Dictionary, the man who bears the king's signet, can act as though he were the king. Thus, Joseph having Pharoah's ring, possessed his authority.

*Mark of the Phantom, it will never come off. :lol:
