In ancient Egypt, priests plucked every hair on their bodies, including their eyebrows and eyelashes...

Isn't that a B-E Yootiful mental image...a completely bald and hairless heathen that worshipped the sun... why would you 'pluck' every hair on your body...I'm pretty sure they had invented a much less painful hair removal system by then...like the sharp edge of a knife, spear or arrow...for the love of Ra...why subject yourself to cruel and unusual punishment...I mean there are certain hairs that require plucking because inventions for their removal...lack sufficient applicable surfaces to achieve hair eradication successfully...and then there are certain places where hair should never be plucked...including the EYELASHES...who does that...I mean especially in the desert...where a person is more susceptible to dust and other eye encrusting elements...I mean seriously...what purpose could this serve...it sure wasn't an aesthetically appealing attribute...apparently this was a ritual performed by priests and priestesses... who thought that hair signified impurity and was therefore unacceptable before the gods...that's right folks...that giant ball of fire they called Ra...and that we call the sun... is offeneded by the presence of human body hair...an object it can NEVER come in contact with since the overbearing amount of residual heat will scorch the human body hair aeons before the body gets close enough to the sun to become offensive...I guess you don't have to be dumb to live in the desert... but it obviously doesn't hurt either...I just don't get it I guess...plucking ones body hair so that you are more presentable to the gods of your belief system...seems a little excessive to me...I mean if all the kneeling and praying doesn't get ya street credit with your creator...I'm doubtin' the removal of all your body hair is gonna be the winning ticket for eternal acceptance into the realm of religious acceptance... I mean come on...how much more subservient does a person have to be in order for them to gain entrance into the afterworld...plucking body hair...wrapping dead corpses in super glue and toilet paper...building giant pyramids to protect the oblonged headed pharoahs that enslaved the masses... and for what...an honorable mention on the Ancient Aliens show...YEE HAW...to me it signifies how ridiculous some ancient beliefs as well as some modern ones continue to be...I mean I get the whole history and tradition of organized religions...what I don't get is the undebateable acceptance of these belief systems...in conjunction with the similarities and differences...one of the main problems I have with organized religion is the hypocrisy of the teachings with respect to the animal kingdom...you'll notice for instance that several religions based on the story of Jesus Christ...include at least some mention of the adventures of Noah...the ark building animal wrangler...had to go out and find 2 of every animal...1 of each sex in order to ensure their continued evolution...yet I spent several Sundays sittin in churches wondering why there weren't animals allowed...or included in the service...I mean if we are all gods creatures it stands to reason that we all require the same amount of religious education...then it dawned on me...animals don't have any money...they can't contribute to the basket passing past time and are therefore excluded altogether...sad really...when ya thnk about it...animals are only here to provide nutrition and sustenance for the rest of us...see now people of this religious cult believe it is necessary for a person to attend a place of higher worship at least once a week if not more...while others simply believe they need to rid their bodies of hair...they all believe that an outside force was essential in the creation of all life here on earth...and they're probably right...altho it doesn't appear the whole Annunaki theory...or Planet X hypothesis is going to pan out...I haven't seen any new stars or noticed a shift in the earths gravitational pull...so the question may still remain a complete mystery for millenia to come...I have my own personal opinions and theories on how life came to be on this planet...none of which include a 7 day Global Creation Chart...the worship of the sun...or the removal of body hair thru the painstaking process of plucking...doesn't it make ya wonder sometimes... NOT what life is all about...who cares anyway...by the time you figure it out Alzheimers comes along and steals it...but about what causes people to believe in certain things...when ya stop to think about it...at some point in the history of ancient Egypt...some dipshit fell asleep in the desert during a sandstorm...the strength of a class 5 tornado...woke up without a single hair on their body...returned to their village and when asked about the odd appearance...spun a tale that spawned a religion and required a priest to preside over it...and the first organized religion of Egypt was born...it's the only logical solution that makes sense...people don't just sit around making this stuff up...it has to have a starting point...ya don't just wake up one day...'Hey didja see Habib...he's plucked all of his body hair...calls himself a priest...what's that about'...extreme accidents of this nature require extreme measures...and sometimes once the story snowballs...ya just hafta roll with it...there's no turning back...before ya know it...people are bobbin'...weavin'...kneelin'...and pluckin' all over the planet...it reaches epidemic proportions that no amount of significant evidence proving otherwise can squash... I don't dispute peoples belief systems...it's just that there have been so many religions on this planet...from pagan rituals worshipping the female or feminine...to religions of today that all seem to worship the male or masculine...so it isn't a very easy task trying to identify which one...if any have any truth to them...it can't be as smple as plucking all of our body hair before poppin up at the Pearly Gates...or we're all gonna look pretty damn funny come time to occupy a casket!!!
