Because all the commentators say so,

Here's one recent article from a reputable newspaper: http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/nilegardiner/100027838/barack-obama%E2%80%99s-top-10-insults-against-britain/

Many people think it's because of his Kenyan heritage and our actions against the Mau Mau.
Quote from: Swatopluk on February 27, 2012, 12:17:05 PMOk, clearly I need to take a bit to read more than the Gospel of Thomas because what.the.hell.
You should read some of the stuff that did not get into the (generally accepted) bible. St.John is by no means the worst.
I'd say bad fan fiction (even prawnographic*) was very alive then already.
In one of the more notorious (that heavily influenced Roman Catholic Mariological thought) there is an attempted vaginal inspection of Mary to check her virginity after the birth of Christ (who got less born but beamed) with nasty consequences for the (female) inspector. In another text pre-teen Jesus kills other kids to demonstrate his resurrection skills afterwards (and has other Frankensteinian habits too).
*You know, the OT did not make prawn an abomination for nothing

Appeals to innate monkey nature by offering the proverbial free lunch and the opportunity to climb the social ladder (believe in our version of Jesus and don't question it, and God will reward ye with money/social esteem).
There are so many people like this, who think that they're being nice when they say things like this, as to them it's the height of achievement. No wonder there are so many issues in our society, when the most a woman is expected to achieve is to marry a rich Christian (shouldn't that be an anathema to a Christian, what with the camels and eyes of needles?).
Quote from: Roland Deschain on February 27, 2012, 12:30:56 AMIt's a strange, confusing, alarming, sometimes painful place and they don't have the guts or will to make the best of it by giving their lives their own meaning. Instead, they'd rather wail about the world being that way, how unfair it is, and how they deserve better. And the vision of the afterlife offered by select varieties of Christianity is what they think they deserve.
I've never truly understood the rationale behind wanting the world to end. It's almost as if the people who enthuse over it cannot deal with the current one.

I can't promise anything, esp. if it deals not with publications but personal material. In other words, it could be difficult to just walk in and grab it
With old material photocopying may very well be out of the question and if it is from the 20ies a lot may be handwritten in Sütterlin which I cannot read very well (or at all depending on the person writing).
Could you write a formal wish/request list about what and in what form you want? Maybe with a cover letter to the archivists?
If necessary (i.e. nobody at the archive speaking English) I could translate that for you.
I can PM you my email address, if necessary.
Again, no promises!
