Quote of the Day


" ...its a universal idea -- like so many stories in the Bible -- echoed across time and cultures. That is why the biblical stories strike us as true. The Bible has the Flood and the Norse have Ginunngigap, the periodic rising of the sea that swallows the world. The bible has the Apocalypse - and the Norse have Ragnarok, the final war between gods and giants. Newer religions pass on the old. It's no heresy to recognize the deep origins of religious belief, ... By understanding the roots, we begin to comprehend the truth."

William Dietrich writing in The Dakota Cipher

If something is Truth, then it should be universal in all sacred writings. I agree with Mr. Dietrich.
