The common apologetic response to the question of how God feels about slavery is that he definitely opposed the historical tradition. The long-time practice of holding innocent individuals against their will could very well be the worst crime humankind has ever committed. The Hebrew god, who is purported to love his people to a degree that we could never comprehend, would certainly have to declare some explicit opposition to slavery, wouldn’t he? Truth be told, the Bible contains not one mention of God’s desire to end slavery. Out of all the “thou shalt nots” and multitude of rules that he provides for us; out of all the chapters that God spends giving us intricate directions for making candles, tents, and temples; and out of all the chapters that God inspires the authors to spend on telling us who begat whom; not once does he ever take the time to abolish, admonish, or reject slavery.

Because God is omniscient, he knew a time would arrive when the results of his silence would include the capture, torture, castration, dehumanization, and/or murder of tens of millions of Africans around the world. Even with his unlimited knowledge, God still neglects to spend two seconds of his infinite time to ensure that we have his documented denouncement of slavery. Using elementary deduction and common sense on this scrap of information, we’re already able to conclude that it wasn’t displeasing in the eyes of the Hebrew god for a more powerful individual to own a lesser.

Does the presumably apathetic preference of God toward slavery mean that we’re left with a distant ruler demonstrably indifferent toward the institution? In such a case, perhaps he wants us to use our judgment on whether or not it’s morally acceptable to own other people. Regrettably, an in depth analysis of the Bible tells us that this cannot be the case either. As hard as it may be to accept, even for those doubtful of the Bible’s authenticity, God and the multitude of his appointed biblical authors are strongly vocal in their advocation of slavery. In fact, prior to the American Civil War, slaveholders worldwide used many of the passages we’ll examine to justify their nightmarish treatment of kidnapped Africans.

The orders supposedly given by God are clear enough that I can honestly see how a mentally conditioned Christian would condone or support slavery. If society taught such individuals from birth that the Bible is infallible, even when it drastically varies from their own understanding, many slaveholders would separate from generated cognitive dissonance by submitting to the presumably superior knowledge held by the higher power. Those who broke free from the Christian mindset, illogically justified their way around it, or never supported such religious hatred would eventually coalesce as the abolitionists.

In this modern age, we’d like to pretend that the upcoming passages couldn’t be found in the Bible. Even so, that won’t make them go away. Again, the church often neglects the Old Testament due to the uneasy feelings that its controversial topics, such as slavery, create. Consequently, this chapter may be the only opportunity that Christian readers have to investigate what information we can extract from these slavery-related biblical passages. Certain verses will prominently show that the so-called divinely inspired people speaking on behalf of the Hebrew god unequivocally state that he was in support of slave ownership.

Before we start analyzing specific passages, however, I need to clarify a bit of terminology. The 1600s King James Version of the Bible often uses servant in the English translation to describe people with what we’ll temporarily designate as “freedom deprivation.” Since the Old Testament was written in Hebrew, and the Hebrew term ebed has an ambiguous meaning of slave or servant, some passages might be too vague to translate effectively without supplemental information. However, the New Testament was penned in Greek; and the Greek words doulos and douloi, meaning slave(s), are most often used to describe people with freedom deprivation. The Greeks had an alternative word, diakonos, for a hired servant or assistant. The authors only use this term when the circumstances obviously depict a voluntary work service.
Because the writers of the New Testament knew exactly what they meant when using the term doulos, we can conclude that ebed refers to a slave when spoken of under the same doulos circumstances. We also have the luxury of relying on the enormous amount of context clues provided in Old Testament passages. Be careful not to let the KJV Bible fool you with its use of the term servant or any derivatives of the word (bondservant, maidservant, manservant, etc.) throughout the Old Testament unless they’re used in the proper context. The New International Version and many other modern translations of the Bible wisely correct most of these assuredly intentional mistranslations.

The “Origin” Of Slavery

The first biblical mention of slavery occurs during the lives of Noah and his three sons. After the flood, one of Noah’s sons, Ham, discovers the only man worthy enough to save from the flood lying naked and drunk in a tent. As Ham informs his brothers Shem and Japheth about their drunk and naked father, the two of them cover him up without looking. When Noah finds out about the seemingly harmless incident, he curses Ham’s son, Canaan, and, and orders him to be a slave to his two uncles. On this day, slavery is supposedly born (Genesis 9:20-27). Thus, the origin of slavery arises from a single young man whose father made the “mistake” of seeing his father in the nude. I find it entirely fitting that the root of slavery would be as ridiculous as the institution itself. As a matter of much lesser importance, God punishes yet another individual for the actions of someone over whom this young man has no conceivable control.

The Bible later tells us that each of Noah’s sons went their own ways and repopulated the earth. We know Shem and his descendants stayed in the Middle East because Abraham, David, and Jesus were among his recorded descendants (Genesis 11:10-26, Matthew 1). In pre-Civil War America, slaveholders often speculated that the descendants of Ham and the cursed Canaan eventually ended up deep into Africa. For this reason, they deemed the kidnapping of innocent Africans to be perfectly justifiable since the righteous Noah initiated the practice. Moreover, God has already established his acceptance of punishing the offspring of those who make mistakes, as was the case for Ham and Canaan.
Although slaveowners based their rationalizations solely on faulty premises, such deductions created a logical conclusion once you ignore their uninformed fallacy of accepting the Bible as indispensable truth. In this somewhat more enlightened society, most of us obviously realize that slavery isn’t a logical or humane concept. We should say the same about the decision to punish one person for the actions of another. I wish we could also say that God has made similar improvements.

At one point, God even informs Abraham that his descendents would be slaves for four hundred years sometime in the near future (Genesis 15:13). What God is actually expressing to Abraham is that he’s not going to do anything to stop this imminent enslavement. Back in the real world, however, archeological evidence indicates that slavery existed throughout the region well before the lives of Noah and Abraham. Thus, these aren’t the true historical origins of slavery. However, if you believe that the Bible is free from error, your blind assumption forces you to deny the obvious conclusion based on scientific evidence and accept the orders contained in the rest of this composition as God’s true desires.

Excerpts from Biblical Nonsense: A Review of the Bible for Doubting Christians Paperback – January 19, 2005
by Jason Long

If you want to hide something from a black man, put it in writing.

An aircraft part that washed ashore on an island in the Indian Ocean last week is from long-missing Flight 370, Malaysian officials said, making it the first concrete evidence of the plane that disappeared 17 months ago in one of the world’s most confounding aviation mysteries.

Identifying the part, a section of the wing found on the shore of Réunion Island, is a major break for the multinational probe into the plane’s disappearance, but it so far hasn’t yielded clues about the cause of the plane’s apparent crash. Experts will now examine the piece to try to determine how it broke off the plane.

Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak confirmed the piece’s origin in a brief statement early Thursday in Kuala Lumpur. Without taking questions, the prime minister vowed to “do everything within our means to determine what happened” to Flight 370.

French authorities, who took possession of the part because Réunion is a French territory, were more guarded about the certainty of the finding, saying only it was very likely that the plane part came from Flight 370 and that analysis would continue on Thursday.

The analysis of the piece could take weeks, and experts said it almost certainly wouldn’t be enough to answer the fundamental enigma of the flight: Why did a sophisticated jet, flying in calm weather, cease most communication with the outside world, turn off course and fly for thousands of miles over the Indian Ocean?

After Malaysia confirmed a wing part found on Réunion Island was from MH370, some relatives of the missing passengers are still doubtful, thanks to a distrust of the government since the beginning of the search.

To answer that question, investigators would have to find other pieces of the plane, particularly those containing the jet’s black boxes, which record conversations in the cockpit and the flight data. Those parts are probably lying somewhere at the bottom of the Indian Ocean under thousands of feet of water, investigators have said. Australian ocean modeling has showed that some debris could have drifted thousands of miles west toward Réunion from the area where investigators believe the plane went down.

Still, the piece, which washed ashore on the French island about 500 miles off the east coast of Madagascar, gives new life to the investigation at a time when Australian officials had been contemplating ending the search. Prime Minister Tony Abbott said early Thursday that the country has no plans to scale back its efforts.

The discovery of the debris has reignited pain for those who lost loved ones on the flight.

“For a lot of us, today may be the worst day of our lives since March 8, because it takes away this sense of hope we’ve held on to for all these months,” said Grace Nathan, whose mother, Anne Daisy Nathan, was a passenger.

Analysis of the debris now moves into a new stage, safety experts say, as the French technical team tries to extract clues from the part about how the plane may have crashed.

“This is indeed a major breakthrough for us in resolving the disappearance of MH370,” Malaysia Airlines said. “We expect and hope that there would be more objects to be found, which would be able to help resolve this mystery.”

In a statement on Thursday, China’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying expressed sympathies to the families and urged the Malaysian government to continue investigating the cause of the incident and to protect the rights and interests of families involved.

Safety experts anticipate weeks of extensive laboratory effort, including microscopic and ultrasonic examinations to try to determine precisely what forces broke the part, known as a flaperon, off the wing. From that data, investigators hope to get closer to deducing the possible speed and angle of the aircraft as it hit the water.

But that may stretch the capabilities of scientists and engineers, according to safety experts, because the part is a relatively small portion of the wing and may not represent the aerodynamic and impact forces likely to have affected the rest of the plane.

“Establishing how it probably separated,” according to Robert Matthews, a former senior Federal Aviation Administration safety official, “is a far cry from determining what happened” to the rest of the plane.

Furthermore, safety experts doubt that the piece, by itself, will go a long way to determining the central mystery of why the flight, which disappeared on March 8, 2014, veered sharply off its intended flight path from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. The plane turned hard to the west and then flew steadily south toward a remote corner of the Indian Ocean.
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said a piece of aircraft debris found on Reunion Island is indeed from the missing Malaysia Airlines flight 370. But the French team investigating the wreckage stopped short of confirming that the part is from MH370.

“The analysis of this piece will not answer why this aircraft departed from its route,” said Jean-Paul Troadec, the former director of the French air accident investigation office.

Structural analysis of the flaperon could answer some questions about the final seconds of the flight. “We may have some indication on the way the part detached from the wing,” Mr. Troadec said, including whether it was caused by an explosion or shock from striking the ocean.

Mr. Troadec echoed the view the current search zone remains the most likely area the plane went down. Biological analysis of barnacles that have collected on the flaperon could provide more information on where the part traveled, Mr. Troadec said, even as he doubted it would yield very precise coordinates.

Aviation investigators suspect that someone on Flight 370 intentionally diverted the plane with 239 people on board and then directed it toward the Indian Ocean.

For investigators, the best chance of determining with any certainty why the plane went off course remains finding its black boxes, the cockpit voice and flight data recorders that store vast amounts of information on a flight.

Malaysian authorities confirm that debris found on Réunion Island is from Flight 370, which is believed to have crashed off the southwest coast of Australia in March 2014.

Ignorance is a terrible disease.

Reminds me of my first experience with Sleep Paralysis. A lot of ignorant 'elders' told me I was under a spell or some demonic influence. Thank God for the Internet. I might not have been freed from the chains of the delusions of supernatural.

When you’re in the position of choosing a career path, film school is an appealing choice. The allure of a vocation whose path is filled with excitement and opportunity is no doubt tempting. But while film school can unlock tremendous opportunity, it’s designed to accompany—not replace—some necessary skill sets earned outside of the classroom.

As you weigh your options, it’s important to recognize the myths versus the realities of film school if you plan to get the most out of your education. We’ve collected five of the top myths of film school that every aspiring filmmaker should be aware of before making their big decision.



Myth 1: Film school is the ONLY place to gain knowledge of filmmaking

Because of the cost of film equipment, film school used to be the only place to learn filmmaking. However, the newfound affordability of digital equipment along with the rise of online filmmaking communities (e.g., No Film School, Filmmaker IQ, The Black and Blue) and online tutorial sites (e.g., Lynda, Mac Pro Video) have made it possible to learn the art of film without paying tuition to a university.

Consumer-grade DSLR cameras have taken the filmmaking landscape by storm, bringing with them access to a quality of filmmaking never before attainable outside of professional studios. When used correctly, these DSLRs can match the look and quality of big-budget Hollywood films. To learn the proper techniques, a beginner need only visit one of a growing number of online communities formed in the spirit of promoting and sharing filmmaking knowledge.

Still, whether you aim to study at NYU or from your home computer, it’s important to remember there is no “right” way of doing things in the film industry. Established professionals can teach you various techniques, but the best way to find your own style is through ongoing practice and experimentation.

What film school can offer you is access to professional lighting, audio, and video equipment that could be cost prohibitive to rent or purchase on your own. Plus, you’ll have professors with decades of experience using that equipment to guide you in using it properly.



Myth 2: Film School is the ONLY place to make connections

Just about every university has a filmmaking organization—if not several. Often, they are inclusive of students outside of film majors who share a common interest in furthering their knowledge of film. If you’re attending college and can’t find a film organization on campus, that might be a reason to start one.

For those not in college, film festivals and regional clubs are yet another way to connect with local filmmakers eager to join a network and discuss their craft. Festivals will give you direct access to directors and writers anxious to share their experiences, while clubs will connect you with people who specialize in various crew positions. The most important thing to remember is that filmmaking is not a one-man job; it takes a whole team to create a movie, so the more people in your filmmaking network, the better.

Of course, while film school isn’t the only place to make connections, it might be the best place—as it’s likely to offer a higher concentration of career-minded film enthusiasts than hobbyists who might not aspire toward long-term film careers. Not only will you meet people in film school you can learn from, but you’ll gain connections you can tap in the future when on the market for jobs or projects.



Myth 3: ALL famous filmmakers went to film school

Yes, Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, and George Lucas all went to film school—and benefited tremendously from their experiences.

But do you know who dropped out and also benefited tremendously? Kevin Smith (Clerks), Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will Be Blood), Alfonso Cuarón (Gravity, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban), and dozens more.

In a five-part tweet summarizing his advice for filmmakers, Mark Duplass advises the following in lieu of attending film school: 1) major in something other than film so you can get paid while honing your craft, 2) focus on perfecting the ten-minute short before moving on to anything longer, 3) take the best of your shorts to every film festival you can manage—along with a draft for an inexpensive feature, 4) dedicate two years—but less than $10k—to obsessively making that feature, and 5) be nice to everyone along the way.

Similarly, in his book Rebel Without a Crew, Robert Rodriguez writes about financing his first feature film not through film school connections, but by volunteering as a medical test subject. You’d probably do well to draw the line at potential bodily harm, but it goes to show there is no shortage of options outside of academia.



Myth 4: Film school is the ONLY place to learn how to write and direct

If your goal is to share your world-view as a screenwriter or director, you might do better to grow that perspective by majoring in English, philosophy, theatre, or political science rather than film.

As Kevin Smith opines, “If you want to be a film historian, film critic, or write about film, absolutely go to film school. But for the two jobs that I wanted to do, which were write and direct, that can’t be taught.”

You can learn how to communicate through books, classroom interactions, and online tutorials, sure—but learning what you really want to say about the world comes from living in that world, not just within a film program.

Film school can certainly enhance your perspective by introducing you to some lesser-known filmmakers and theories you might not come across on your own, but that’s far from its primary goal of fostering technique and won’t compare to genuine life experience.



Myth 5: You will NOT get a job on a film set without film school

Perhaps the largest misconception about film school is that graduating will land you a job. Conversely, experience trumps education 99% of the time. The best way to build a career in the industry is to build your resume, film reel, and network. Most professionals won’t ask where you went to film school; they’ll ask to see your reel.

Instead, many aspiring filmmakers get their start by volunteering on film sets for little to no compensation. The more time they spend on sets, the more industry professionals start to rely on them—and eventually, hire them for paid gigs.

That isn’t to say film school can’t help lead to an eventual job, but you’re going to have a tough couple of years if that’s your primary goal—or if you expect that job to be very high paying. That’s not what film school is about. It’s about gaining a vast understanding of the art and technique of cinema. You’ll see films that will inspire you, discover directors you’ve never experienced, and meet collaborators that might help propel your career if you work hard enough.



The Verdict

Film school certainly has a wide range of benefits; they’re just not the same benefits many wrongly associate with it, so it’s important to know what to expect before you start writing tuition checks.

It’s a great option for sure, but isn’t an option for everyone. Similarly, it’s not the only option for anyone. If you can’t afford to go to film school, there’s no reason to lose hope, as there’s no shortage of great filmmakers who either dropped out or skipped it to begin with, yet found success in spite of this.

Whether you choose to attend film school or not, the best lessons you’ll learn will ultimately come from practice, so get out there and start making some films.

We might never know. Not in our lifetime anyway. The Plague razed Europe long enough before there were improvements in medicine.

The trick is to enjoy life. Shun hypocrisy and do to others exactly the same way you want to be treated.

Live a good life. If there are Gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are Gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no Gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.

Your beliefs does not make you a good person, your behavior does.

[b] bros i dont know in what way shape or form it will take but if you asked me to guess i would say all the banking system will be wiped out by cyber espionage and everyones money will be wiped clean and everyones money will disappear and then people would panic and will riot on the streets because after 3 days there will be no food in the stores and people will start kiling each other and breaking into each others house for food and then martial law will be declared and everyone will be rounded up and thrown in fema camps ( like mobile prison ). and that would effectively be the end of freedom in america and the beginning of a tyrannical regime based on hardcore slavery like they had 200 years ago with the negros as slaves. only this time it is the caucasians who would be slaves. then race riots would break out on the streets. everyone trying to get their revenge on the white man because they see that he is now powerless. and that my friend is what will go down before the 1st of february [/b]
