SEASON'S GREETINGS ALL!!

Since I have had some accusations of possibly being a bit harsh concerning my responses in the past...

I will now try to ammend that situation with what I can best describe as a 'world-outreach' to all those who may be lost and hurting in this fallen sphere...

And so...to now introduce...St. Paul's LOVE CLUB!

To join is simple...and to retain membership is even easier...

All you have to do is remember this simple passage:

"Si yo hablase lenguas humanas y angelicas, y no tengo amor...."

no...excuse me...wait a minute until I switch over to English for you...

...and have not love, my words have become as nothing more than the senseless 'clanging' of metal -

Oh yes...I may have the gift of prophecy and even understand all mysteries...possibly all knowledge and all faith (if it were possible)...
so that I might even remove mountains as obstacles in my path...but have not love...I am nothing...

I may give all my goods to help the poor and even offer my own body as a living sacrifice...but if I have not love...it will do me absolutely NO GOOD!

Love suffers long...and is kind; it envies not and never exalts itself or 'shows off',
does not behave itself rudely (or quickly apologizes when it does); seeks not Her own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil;

Rejoices not in iniquity, but always rejoices in the TRUTH;

Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things...

LOVE NEVER FAILS...

If you are wondering where this beautiful piece of artistry is written, you may read it for yourself in I Corinthians 13 of the Bible...

Perfection is just a thought away...

It's not your harshness, it's your insane fundamentalism, your extreme megalomania and your cerebro de concreto that make you unacceptable. And dangerous.

Let's take a poll...who thinks that an 'edit' key to erase other people's post might be worthwhile...

Just think...we could all get back to the blank page and start all over... Rolling Eyes

You are always at the blank page. Fascism (censorship) will get you nowhere with me.

Why do you feel Paulie is dangerous? Are you threatene by him? (I'm guessing it's Mr. Paulie as he didn't answer my question in the other post) And for megalomania look in the mirror (the Great White Saviour of Oaxacan Indios).

You don't know he has a concrete head, it is another of your worthless judgements of people who disagree with you.

I will not wish moonie a merry anything, because she is a bitter old crow, and would prefer to have a miserable solstice rolling in the mud "saving" Oaxacans from their ignorance.

As for everyone else, I really do hope you have a wonderful Christmas, be it a holy or a secular one.

Thanks Mike, but I am really not trying to cause any divsiveness here...rather I would like to see all come into one camp!

Evil or Very Mad So would I!!!!

Oh No!...I refuse to do this - at least send me a helper!... Father!!!

Very Happy Don't worry my son...I AM here with you...always...

Thank you...thank you so much for reminding me...

Evil or Very Mad You always have had a good memory - trouble is...it's short!!

Since my strength is with me, I will mention one or two things to you...
Didn't you become so 'real' to Martin Luther that he actually threw an ink bottle at you!?

Evil or Very MadNo matter...I'm black anyway - besides, he missed! Twisted Evil

I really don't care to carry on 'conversation' here...I simply want other to be blessed with the freedoms my Lord has provided for me! Is that so bad...?

Evil or Very Mad Bad??!!...no...I guess not...after all...we do live in a 'free' country!

You coyote!!...methinks you are trying to trick me again...

Mike: I will always remember you as a mean-spirited racist whiner who couldn't even save himself.

(I spent the solstice in Mexico City at the MUNAL revisiting some beautiful Simbolist paintings on loan from the Musee D'Orsay and the Musee Gustave Moreau in Paris. And then, in the spirit of Paris '68, I saw Bertolucci's "Los So�adores". Not his best film, but not exactly rolling in the mud, either. And not exactly the racist steretype you promote in regard to me.)

Paulie is clearly psychotic, suffering from what in Jungian terminology is called "Inflation". And yes, I am more than prepared, academically and experientially, to make that clinical judgment.

I have been reading your posts for some time, um, Paulie, and have just one question after your last, um, post.

Paulie, are you, um, mentally ill?

No, I didn't ask you if you were "hurting." I asked if you were "mentally ill."

As for purgatory, do you not understand metaphorical language?

And please do not quote the scriptures to me. I know them as well as you.

If you know the Scriptures, why are you 'twisting in the wind'?

The problem with fundamentalists is that you are totally unclued into metaphorical language. Go read the Book of Ecclesiastes and then get back to me about why I'm Twisting in the Wind and why you made your made your inane comment.

Uhhh...sorry...I misinformed you -

There actually is a 'purgatory' - it's called Purgatory Chasm and it's located in Sutton, Massachusetts. It's truly a 'wild' place, with deadly cliffs and huge boulders that stagger the imagination. Perhaps you were refering to living in one of the caves there? Rolling Eyes

Nope, I was referring to the metaphorical location of purgatory that humans find themselves in from time to time when they are between jobs, between marriages, in midlife crises, etc. or where they don't really want to be in their lives.

A very Merry and blessed Christmas to you, Paulie, even though we probably don't agree with some things theologically and politically.. Very Happy
