(Especially if you know me, and have read my past two entries)
In December of 1945, near the village of Nag Hammadi in Egypt, a poor man by the name of Muhammad 'Ali al-Samman Muhammad Khalifah found in the desert a number of sealed urns containing old parchment. He unsealed the urns and looked over his findings, but was unable to read the language in which the documents had been written. Being a fairly practical man, he had no idea what these writings were, and simply used the dry parchment in his campfires to keep warm in the cold desert nights. It was only later that he came across a more literate man, who recognized that Muhammad's kindling was in fact early Gnostic writings from the 2nd and 3rd centuries A.D., and possibly the most valuable theological discovery of the century.
Ever wonder what it would be like to witness someone treat something priceless as nothing more than a tool to keep comfortable?
I used to wonder just that, but now I can tell you...It sucks donkey balls.
