I finally get it: If GW is not man-made, then God is punishing uswith it
The Christians may deny GW, but they can't deny the overcrowding of
the heavens. You know, I find the Mongol gods particularly colorful... (This inspired Genghis Khan the way Jesus inspires the Christians to conquer the world) Turkic Shaman drum showing the world treeThe Wolf symbolizes honour and is also considered the father of most Turkic peoples. Asena (Ashina Tuwu) is the wolf mother of Bumen, the first Khan of the Göktürks. The Horse is also one of the main figures of Turkic mythology; Turks considered the horse an extension of the individual -though generally dedicated to the male- and see that one is complete with it. This might have led to or sourced from the term "At-Beyi" (Horse-Lord). The Dragon, also expressed as a Snake or Lizard, is the symbol of might and power. It is believed, especially in mountainous Central Asia, that dragons still live in the mountains of Tian Shan/Tengri Tagh and Altay. Dragons also symbolize the god Tengri (Tanrı) in ancient Turkic tradition, although dragons themselves are not worshipped as gods. The legend of Timur (Temir) is the most ancient and well-known. Timur found a strange stone that fell from the sky (an iron ore meteorite), making the first iron sword from it. Today, the word "temir" or "timur" means "iron". Turkic mythology was influenced by other local mythologies. For example, in Tatar mythology elements of Finnic and Indo-European myth co-exist. Subjects from Tatar mythology include Äbädä, Şüräle, Şekä, Pitsen, Tulpar, and Zilant. |

im glad to see you admit that you find mundane things important. it certainly answers some questions in my mind ;^-} Mundane things are not important to the Christians who think of the heavens, but it's important to the monkey who lives in reality. It's just like "peanuts," which means "nothing" to the believers, but means everything to the monkey. Another example is the bicycle, which is so important to the monkey. By the way, "mundane" also means: •belonging to this earth or world; not ideal or heavenly; "not a fairy palace; yet a mundane wonder of unimagined kind"; "so terrene a being as himself" |
