nothing like throwing a reality spanner in the works here, 'cuz its desperately needed. Suppository thinking is working overtime here, and my wellies are on the verge on getting submerged in all the verbal diarrhea being slung back and forth. For those who don't know what 'suppository thinking' is, I coined that expression over 50 years ago.
A suppository is a statement starting with IF or a medication you shove up yer butt to relieve constipation due to the fact yer so full of s - -t you squeak when you walk. Suppository thinking occurs when the 2 coincide and a inverse reverse reaction sets in whereby folk spew out massive verbal diarrhea instead of blasting it out their butt into the pot in order to relieve themselves of their misery. I read these 1-upmanship monologs emanating on this topic like watching a dog pissing on a hydrant to let others know he's been there.
Instead of telling God what to do, or usurping His place in the 1st Commandment which is not a very clever thing to do, I suggest folk look for solutions instead of pointing middle fingers. We are all on the planet in the same boat, so to speak, cooperation means 1 arrives at desired end station of life if 1 follows the ethical precepts laid out by Jesus. He didn't say follow consumer brand religion named 'x'. He said simply follow Me, pick up yer Cross and bear it, suffer in silence, in humility turn the other cheek and get on with the bizness of life.
Not a single person made a single reference on any topic on this discussion board of the most eloquent statement ever recorded in the history of mankind, the Sermon on the Mount. Read it, understand it, follow it and leave all this non-essential bickering behind you. Is it only me or has anyone else noted the tendency on every discussion board on every topic to turn into a goat screw ***** session.
Folk are getting killed everyday somewhere on the planet for their beliefs and to be subjected to this inane prattle microscopic hair splitting, leads me to the conclusion God is allowing them to be put out of their human misery and allowing them to attain their heavenly reward and leaving the rest of the folk on ther planet to the face Armageddon they so avidly pursue.
