Jesus may have a mean under hook.  Although he seemed like a skinny dude who knows

Since Jesus is a myth we'll never know where he got it.

Has USADA officially said it was DHEA?  I say this, bc my understanding is they didn't buy the connection to the pneumonia situation.

you're saying he isn't a historical figure?

I did a little research this morning.  Granted, others may do better research, but I was unable to find any official USADA press release about Brooks positive test or suspension. Also, his name is not yet on the list of athletes sanctioned by USADA- a list that includes the substances and consequences.

Now, maybe he did foolishly test positive for Wegman's DHEA, but we are also dealing with a couple unreliable sources here.  I'd say that it is in the realm of possibility that the substance wasn't purchased at Wegman's.

CP said on FRL that the latest he's heard was that Brooks and NLWC are anticipating a 3 year suspension which they will then appeal to attempt to have it reduced. Apparently when you "accidentally" break USADA's rules 3 times you don't get the benefit of the doubt.

Yes, that is what I've heard.  I'm just saying that the whole "DHEA to recover from pneumonia" story has come out of Brooks camp and that is it.  Maybe it is true, or maybe it is damage control.  I wouldn't be surprised if it is a substance other than DHEA.

He says this in one thread. Shits on Mormons in another. He's got it all figured out.

I haver no problem with anyone who is a non-believer (of any religion).  What bothers me is how people like him go out of their way and enjoy attacking the religious beliefs of others.  Almost like his extreme atheism is a religion unto himself.  He, of course, has the right to do so; but I feel bad for such a sad little man.

Exactly. The pointless strays do nothing but insult. Never gonna get a response from me. Just a clown

Just like Paul Bunyan.

There is nothing about him during the time he supposedly lived. 

Myths & stories, maybe based on some religious types during the time. Even the Four Gospels read like "we read the first one and are adding to it" - the stories don't add up.

Nope, don't have it all figured out, just know it does not make sense. Mormons with Joe Smith killed in a gunfight after "marrying" 15 year olds, wives of his "Apostles" and mother-daughter combinations & shilling for money as a convicted con man? Why not make fun of them? White supremacist cult that has major problems with Child Abuse/child sexual abuse. 

Then we have so many other "religions" that, if examined - are as bad or worse. Not an athiest, more an agnostic who does not believe the myths and will gladly piss on BYU - who quit on Wrestling, dumping the Athletic Director at the time because he was not tall enough and a wrestler - at the same time they dumped mens gymnastic program. Girls in leotards and sports obsessed with balls - even their major Church Headquarter building is a big, tall WHITE shaft with two balls at the bottom.

Some monk in the (now) 6th Century counted backwards, using a methodology unknown to us, and arrived at some point he called Year 1.

There are many epochs in many calendars. Not sure what you are getting at. The current Hebrew year is 5785. China has 4723. North Korea is on Juche 114. Buddhist calendar is at 2568.

He was also most likely off by a few years. So, probably nothing happened for the year he named as 1.

I think you know exactly what I'm getting at.  Please explain why the world dates things based on the birth of Christ.

The world doesn't date things based on the birth of Christ.  Many major Western economic powers do, so other societies must adapt, just like many Europeans speak English to accommodate the ugly American who can't be bothered to learn other languages.

All those Western powers in 100 AD Ok sure. Oh then everyone started speaking English.

Actually I have 0 idea what calendars and years have to do with anything and what you are trying to prove. There are thousands of them and can be based upon absolutely anything, real or not.
