    Genesis.

    Though I myself am not a biblical literalist, so you will have to make one of them explain how that makes sense

    Gilgul/Gilgul neshamot/Gilgulei Ha Neshamot (Heb. גלגול הנשמות‎, Plural: גלגולים‎ Gilgulim) is a concept of reincarnation in Kabbalistic esoteric mysticism. In Hebrew, the word gilgul means "cycle" or "wheel" and neshamot is the plural for "souls." Souls are seen to cycle through lives or incarnations, being attached to different human bodies over time. Which body they associate with depends on their particular task in the physical world, spiritual levels of the bodies of predecessors and so on. The concept relates to the wider processes of history in Kabbalah, involving cosmic Tikkun (Messianic rectification), and the historical dynamic of ascending Lights and descending Vessels from generation to generation.

    The esoteric explanations of gilgul were articulated in Jewish mysticism by Isaac Luria in the 16th century, as part of the metaphysical purpose of Creation.
    “If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”

    — Golda Meir

    Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.

    This is exactly how unfounded and utterly bogus rumors get started about me.

    I have never been Catholic nor even remotely considered becoming one.

    Maybe Jim Eagle believes God can experiment without accepting the "conservative conception" of God. Or, maybe that is your interpretation of the traditional conservative conception. The views of the public on these issues is much more fluid and varied than you try to picture them.

    Agree. Cypress deliberately creates Strawmen he can pound on.

    You know as well as I do that biblical literalism is a real thing in American Protestantism, and that the term bible thumper used in the thread title does not refer to humanist christians, liberal Christians, or any person who reads the Bible as allegory, metaphor, or literature.
