I have to admit two words sprung to mind yesterday when I thought i saw a stone heading in my direction from one of the guys. The first word was Pearls.... quickly followed by Swine.I tried to unsubscribe to the thread but it didnt work.Today is the feast of John the Baptist. I wonder if faced with him our chum would be so brave? I think not.It takes more courage to believe in God among smart people is the impression I am getting.Still I dont think God minds too much being called the universe even though there are several of them all of which he made. Maybe its a friendly sort of diminutive like Jojo or meggin.Jesus did call him abba which translates into daddy and no big clouds appeared giving him into trouble.Ah the Bible the Bible...it gets such a lot of stick.I can understand, there has been such a lot of damage done by its adherents for a very long time and none more so than now with all this frightening fundementalism sadly especially in America and thats got to be a major factor in peoples reactions.As smart people though are we not supposed to look at our reactions and turn them into responses? making us responsible for how we connect with other people> just a thought. Maybe not profound enough for the smart dick with the bis bag of stones at the ready though.
