To be fair, someone who met you said you were a little effeminate, I'm just
filling in the gaps. Your anger stems from somewhere, it's not uncommon for
pillow-biters to exhibit behaviour like yours.

How does the Catholic Church feel about uphill gardening? Is it OK as long
as the buggeree is under 12?

Pope, as you know I don't get involved in all this puerile religion
bashing that some on here need to indulge in to feel better about
themselves.

But sometimes, I do wonder...

I mean, if these people knew that nothing created by man could
possibly be perfect, why the need to delibertately spoil their
efforts? If even the greatest artistry of man could never be as
flawless as that of the Creator, why the need to deliberately balls it
up? It seems to suggest that they believed God could be fooled into
thinking something was perfect even if, by his own decree, it couldn't
possibly be, so they had to mar it in an obvious manner.

You're joking right?

Humility, Graf.

As Mary proclaimed in her Magnificat, God scatters the proud
and raises the lowly. He casts the mighty from their thrones and flees
to the aid of those in need.

Christianity is fundamentally a religion of paradox. These monks felt
that in negating themselves and stamping their work with these flaws
they were actually taking the road to perfection. Humility and
lowliness are the path to glory and honour, and conversely pride and
arrogance the path to shame and humiliation. This is the paradox of the
cross,and every day of my life I see it repeated before my eyes, over
and over again. The ignorance of the wise, and the wisdom of the
ignorant. The impoverishment of those who are intellectually or
materially wealthy, and the enrichment of those who are poor.

The Gospel writers weren't even interested in getting their gospels to
agree with each other. What does that tell you? That they were liars?
No. That they were interested in something more important than the
precision and exactitude so obsessively pursued by our own generation.

Thank you for your respectful tone. It means a lot to me.

SPLUTTER!

After everything you've just accused me of?!

Pope, you are a one, there's no doubt about that.

God bless you.
