‘Let no one who is not eager for truth and peace enter here’ (Plato)

Articles on this site express varying points of view, to encourage mature thinking on serious issues. The assumption is that you will want to study a controversial topic from various angles before you arrive at a conclusion, rather than simply believe what someone told you when you were impressionable!

Laughter For A Saturday

“ABOUT FROST” My English professor was stopped for speeding. When asked why she was driving so fast, she quoted Robert Frost: “I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep.” DRINKING AND DRIVING When my son was about 4 years old, we were driving down the road. I took a drink of […]

Christian cliches

From a netfriend: Some suggested buzz words and phrases: “getting into the Word” (always refer to the Bible as “the Word”) “values” having “a burden” “Lord, grant us wisdom” (use the word “Lord” a lot and like a proper name when praying out loud) “special music” “witnessing” “that ministered to my spirit” (talk a lot […]

And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked […]

Jesus, That’s Not Funny!

from http://www.godsfriends.org/Vol14/No3/not-funny.html Jesus, That’s Not Funny! by Donald Schell Jesus’ best-loved parables have all been carefully interpreted over the centuries to mute their startling, unbalancing humor-but I think people love them because some ghostly laughter remains despite the preachers’ efforts to tame it and explain around it. At St. Gregory’s liturgies we enjoy hearing a […]

Great Boss

Religious Funnies

If God is watching us, the least we can do is be entertaining. I am an agnostic pagan. I doubt the existence of many gods. Make God laugh – plan for the future. A priest, a rabbi, and a minister walk into a bar. The bartender says, “What is this, some kind of joke?” Adam […]
