{IN}Conspicuous Construction: You ask, Addy delivers!

In my recent post where I admited to having bloggers block, I asked you, my dedicated and devoted readers, to enlighten me with your endless pursuit of knowledge. I asked you what you wanted to see on the pages of {In}Conspicous Construction. Well you answered, and answer you did.

Fenris Badwulf of the canukistan clan of Mitchieville proposed:
"I would like to see more articles on Helping Others, especially the Downtrodden. I also like articles on food eaten by Pre-Christian Cultures. Perhaps articles on getting along with your dog and cat."

Well, Fenris, I'd do just about anything to keep you coming back. Only because I love your blog name. It just so happens that I posess some knowledge I'd like to share on ALL of these wonderfully complex topics, but I'll get the easiest out of the way first.
Foods Eaten by Pre-Christian Cultures

Since Christianity hasn't been around all that long, especially when you compare it to the span of time that humans have walked the earth-- Regardless of whether or not our knuckles dragged on the ground
Pre Christian cultures are normally thought of as having a lack of religion, or pagan cultures. And that is not true at all.
Such civilizations include, the Indian (feathers not dots)
Celtic cultures, Ok so maybe it's not the best picture, but it's recognizable

Bronze Age communities (that would be your Egyptian Pharaohs), going all the way back to the Mesolithic, which included the hunter-gatherers of the middle stone age about 10,000 years ago. Think "The Flintstones" for all of you that haven't had the privilage of MATC's Earth Science class training as I've been privy to.
Well Fenris, the foods eaten by these Pre Christian cultures range from dirt, rocks and roots for the "downtrodden" of the time, (as you would refer to them as), and get pretty delectable, like mammoth, and hazel nuts, as well as fruits, plants, flowers and livestock only avaliable to the highest members of society. Especially in Egypt and Europe.

Then it's pretty simple really. Once JC came along about 2000 years ago and people started believing that this guy wasn't bluffing when He said He could cure the dead and would save man from his own sins...it was all down hill from there.

JC had His posse of 12 losers following him around all day, always nagging Him to turn stuff into food.

"C'mon Lord I know you can do it,

just one more fish, or I'll call Pontious Pilate"

Then the diciples became greedy. They frequently asked JC, who knew His time was coming to an end, to change their wives into the shepards daughters they very much coveted throughout their travels in Galilee. JC was frustrated. He showed these men how to live, how to fish and still they sought His constant guidance. What was Jesus to do, knowing He would have to leave these men to fend for themselves?

He created Ray Crock and man never hunted again.
