My god, that was like an acid flashback to a bad trip, with the fiendishly evil brother irvine terrorising clueless youths with nonsense about constructing a sentence with the future perfect tense, and an ablative appropriate.
Gleefully beating lads viciously about the ears as he spotted each and every error.

It was the perfect storm of schoolboy horror, Latin, with evil Irvine, no malevolent creature from the fiery pit could evoke greater fear into a young man's heart than that dread combination.

(That this combination could exist, was also proof positive that there was no god, at least no god without cruel and evil predilections.)

Mozz? You're a refugee from the Holy Mother Church?

Do you wonder what brother irvine is doing now?

3 to 6 for assault? Grin

Last night I was chatting online to a Catholic Theology lecturer I hadn't seen for years. He was very pleased that I had decided to be a Catholic once a fortnight, but was quite ambivalent towards my other religions.

We used to have some very interesting conversations about religion. I don't knock the Left Footers. They are an interesting lot.

Mozz - I was actually top of my class for Latin. These days it's very rusty.

Yes, having god in your life is bound to make you more well rounded.

That freak is just so over the top, we almost feel compelled to think it could not possibly be real, but then we reflect on other abberant behaviour we see from the strangely devout religious folk, and we know that nothing is too wierd for them. Praise the lord.

Well that is what I am saying Helian, normally I would immediately discount this guy as taking the piss, but religious fruitcakes do stuff far crazier than this every day, so how the heck are we supposed to tell any more.
I do however think that if this guy had stopped about 30 seconds earlier, it would have been more convincing.

(which I'd bet he was)... then it's more indicative of a psychiatric condition than his religiosity.

It is a great question that again may have the answer included. (I was taught by a good great man once)

It is only logical that as the below evolves so does the ABOVE.
{And no I'm not channeling}
To wit, as Jesus may say, "As God is the Father, so surely he must grow not like unto one child, but all children."
How can it not be so?
Surely this is logic.

Surely as one thing grows, what it is connected to it grows.
How else can you explain our purpose?
We cannot be here, but to make the major whole grow.
Amen. That made man said to me: "As individuals grow, so does the WHOLE"

That blew me away more than all of nature's disasters (which may again be caused by man's unnaturalness)

He is spoken to as being "Father" I've been a Dad for 20 years, i'm now a better dad than I was 20 years ago. Better than i was 10 years ago, or even 5 years ago. Can God progress into something better than he once was ? Does he evolve, or forever stay as he always was?

Reply #87 - Apr 22^nd, 2011 at 1:18am Sprintcyclist , I meant as a father is equal to his kid, Isn't it so God must be to his "kids?" We are of the same seed. Ultimately the same. Even as different as a seed to a giant tree = nothing could be more opposite yet equal. Yet the ultimate growth comes with new fruit.
