You would NOT write, "Re: Goats are disgusting but Ham is delicious."


I would absolutely write that.
I cannot even copy his manner because the manner of his prose was the manner of his thinking and that was a dazzling succession of gaps; and you cannot ape a gap because you are bound to fill it in somehow or other -- and blot it out in the process. -- Nabokov

Are you trying to suggest that "Reformed" or some other brand of scientology is plausible? Joel - 04/10/2011 04:28:40 PM 1036 Views

We're not as immovable as we are sometimes portrayed. Dannymac - 03/10/2011 05:27:17 PM 1038 Views
"Even Christ didn't do that"? I can't agree. Legolas - 03/10/2011 09:00:34 PM 1016 Views

Point of Anal Retentive Dissent: Joel - 04/10/2011 03:54:00 PM 944 Views
That concept is alien to the Christian theological understanding, however. Tom - 03/10/2011 10:18:55 PM 1023 Views
I understand what both you and Danny are saying LadyLorraine - 04/10/2011 12:19:57 AM 978 Views
Oh, that's very simple Tom - 04/10/2011 04:02:24 AM 994 Views
I honestly don't know what it would take. Dannymac - 04/10/2011 07:41:55 AM 998 Views
thank you, both of you LadyLorraine - 04/10/2011 01:46:05 PM 990 Views
I love the Nicene Creed. It is such an excellent encapsulation. Rebekah - 03/10/2011 06:07:53 PM 1064 Views

Yikes. Even for religion, that's more than a little crazy. Nate - 04/10/2011 03:47:56 PM 1045 Views
I don't think there's much of a difference in crazy as opposed to other more mainstream religions. Vivien - 04/10/2011 07:08:06 PM 1024 Views
A difference exists if only in continued unabashed affirmation of a rather distasteful doctrine. Joel - 04/10/2011 11:06:51 PM 1012 Views
Then why can't women be priests? Or enter the altar? The curse on Eve is very much in place. *NM* Aeryn - 05/10/2011 12:27:04 AM 556 Views
OK, within the Mormon context I can see that point. Joel - 05/10/2011 12:33:52 AM 956 Views
They can in quite a few denominations. *NM* Ghavrel - 05/10/2011 06:12:35 AM 611 Views
Whoops! You meant in LDS specifically. My mistake. *NM* Ghavrel - 05/10/2011 06:14:05 AM 569 Views

Yes, that is kind of the problem. Joel - 06/10/2011 12:13:27 AM 983 Views

I can see that with the Monothelites (can see their appeal, in fact,) but not Monophysites. Joel - 07/10/2011 09:43:27 PM 935 Views
Tempting as it is to prove Joel wrong (since he so frequently is), I need to take issue with this. Tom - 07/10/2011 06:59:13 PM 1018 Views
I was just saying there were competing views. Gher - 07/10/2011 07:49:26 PM 1401 Views
Oh, there were definitely competing views, just not competing Christian views. Joel - 07/10/2011 09:26:22 PM 915 Views
