I published my previous post on Friday. Satirical World Maps
If frequent readers are offended by the fact that I published an article on this blog Friday and now Sunday, I half apologize as the idea for this post arrived in my head basically just as I was revising the 'Satirical World Maps' article, as I almost always revise posts. I did not want to simply add-on to it as I have done to some posts in the past.
However if one has a real ethical problem with my actions as far as being an imposition upon their (limited) free will and lifestyle please send complaints to:

Thank you
Good to see L.A. Philip today at Grace Van and Starbucks...

| Scenes from the Passion of Saint Vincent of Saragossa and the History of His Relics, 1244–1247 at Saint Germain des Pres, Paris |
When I about four or five years old in Port Coquitlam and my brother would play the instrumental 'Popcorn' on the stereo, I thought the track might be evil...
Also from the same era my family used to discuss the hippies that would drive too fast down the road and sell drugs in white and green vans...
With the advent of Bob Ross later when I lived in Maple Ridge, I sort of saw hippies in a new light...'There'.
Sort of.
A few years after Port Coquitlam later in Pitt Meadows when my parents were off at an Amway event in the United States and if I was at home Saturday night, I would at around 4 p.m. order a large Pizza from 'Marina Pizza' which had Greek Pizza, and eat the entire pizza. Something I was only capable of accomplishing as a teenager when I weighed 150 pounds.
Today, I could not physically do this without likely becoming ill even though I weigh over 200 pounds now.
Occasionally back at Pitt Meadows, I would give a piece of pizza to the German-Shepherd Husky, Rebel (Jerk). I am sure he could have eaten half the pizza or more in the time it would have taken me to eat a piece or two.
By the way, large dogs are an excellent way to get rid of other food such as dishes you hate, like when your Mother makes liver...
At 4 P.M. I believe it was, because I would watch Hockey Night in Canada at 5 P.M. there was an evangelical, somewhat fundamentalistic Christian speaker that would have a call in show and play Christian music on the Rogers Channel which I think was channel 2 at that point in time. At that time I had no formal Biblical training and grew up in a family that was basically secular mixed with Christian and had to figure things out for myself, humanly speaking. I am not of course denying the work of God and God the Holy Spirit.
At the time I learned from the show but about ten years later I heard the same speaker with a similar type of show live as I was on a boat cruise of the Burrard Inlet in the Summer which I highly recommend. I have done it twice, once professionally which was this time mentioned and later a few years ago on a family friend's yacht.
The man was answering some questions and playing Christian music, but by this time seems to me I had a few years of Bible School at Columbia Bible College if not my BA and I may have been well into my MTS at Canadian Baptist Seminary and Trinity Western University. I found his answers too presumptuous, and simplistic. This may have been right about the time I was beginning to read philosophy and philosophy of religion texts somewhat for thesis work at CBS/TWU and for PhD preparation in the United Kingdom, as well as the heavy theology and Biblical Studies work I was involved in, but it showed me how knowledge and my spiritual growth had changed my outlook on teaching received.
I realized at that point I had progressed significantly in a decade and not in disbelief but educated belief.

ReplyDeleteYou will need to kill some enemies in a room with a fireplace which I found both times in the northeast part of the map and then Helmin will crawl out from under a bed and give you access to his shop. Believe it or not, The same process is done with these wicking pajamas, Solidarity always outdoes divisive conflicts.
ReplyDeleteI do not know the context. I did a quick search, perhaps the game 'Diablo'.
ReplyDeleteDiablo and pajamas, not sure of the connection...
Never heard of any kind of hero or superhero clad in 'jammies' but hey it is the 21st C we are not supposed to be 'judgmental'.;)
Adorei os vitrais. Penso que é importante estudar, pesquisar, construir um laço com algum tema que enriquecerá nossa vida de conhecimento. Parabéns pela conduta e interesse pelo assunto, que faz de você um doutor no tema, com toda a humildade que percebo, lhe é peculiar. Congratulations!

CAN YOU IMAGINE THE NUN SITTING AT HER DESK GRADING THESE PAPERS, ALL THE WHILE TRYING TO KEEP A STRAIGHT FACE AND MAINTAIN HER COMPOSURE!
PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE WORDING AND SPELLING. IF YOU KNOW THE BIBLE EVEN A LITTLE, YOU'LL FIND THIS HILARIOUS! IT COMES FROM A CATHOLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEST.
KIDS WERE ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS. THE FOLLOWING 25 STATEMENTS ABOUT THE BIBLE WERE WRITTEN BY CHILDREN. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN RETOUCHED OR CORRECTED. INCORRECT SPELLING HAS BEEN LEFT IN.
1. IN THE FIRST BOOK OF THE BIBLE, GUINESSIS. GOD GOT TIRED OF CREATING THE WORLD SO HE TOOK THE SABBATH OFF.
2. ADAM AND EVE WERE CREATED FROM AN APPLE TREE. NOAH'S WIFE WAS JOAN OF ARK. NOAH BUILT AND ARK AND THE ANIMALS CAME ON IN PEARS.
3. LOTS WIFE WAS A PILLAR OF SALT DURING THE DAY, BUT A BALL OF FIRE DURING THE NIGHT.
4. THE JEWS WERE A PROUD PEOPLE AND THROUGHOUT HISTORY THEY HAD TROUBLE WITH UNSYMPATHETIC GENITALS.
5. SAMPSON WAS A STRONGMAN WHO LET HIMSELF BE LED ASTRAY BY A JEZEBEL LIKE DELILAH.
6. SAMSON SLAYED THE PHILISTINES WITH THE AXE OF THE APOSTLES.
7. MOSES LED THE JEWS TO THE RED SEA WHERE THEY MADE UNLEAVENED BREAD, WHICH IS BREAD WITHOUT ANY INGREDIENTS.
8. THE EGYPTIANS WERE ALL DROWNED IN THE DESSERT. AFTERWARDS, MOSES WENT UP TO MOUNT CYANIDE TO GET THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
9. THE FIRST COMMANDMENTS WAS WHEN EVE TOLD ADAM TO EAT THE APPLE.
10. THE SEVENTH COMMANDMENT IS THOU SHALT NOT ADMIT ADULTERY.
11. MOSES DIED BEFORE HE EVER REACHED CANADA THEN JOSHUA LED THE HEBREWS IN THE BATTLE OF GERITOL.
12. THE GREATEST MIRICLE IN THE BIBLE IS WHEN JOSHUA TOLD HIS SON TO STAND STILL AND HE OBEYED HIM.
13. DAVID WAS A HEBREW KING WHO WAS SKILLED AT PLAYING THE LIAR. HE FOUGHT THE FINKELSTEINS, A RACE OF PEOPLE WHO LIVED IN BIBLICAL TIMES.
14. SOLOMON, ONE OF DAVIDS SONS, HAD 300 WIVES AND 700 PORCUPINES.
15. WHEN MARY HEARD SHE WAS THE MOTHER OF JESUS, SHE SANG THE MAGNA CARTA.
16. WHEN THE THREE WISE GUYS FROM THE EAST SIDE ARRIVED THEY FOUND JESUS IN THE MANAGER.
17. JESUS WAS BORN BECAUSE MARY HAD AN IMMACULATE CONTRAPTION.
18. ST. JOHN THE BLACKSMITH DUMPED WATER ON HIS HEAD.
19. JESUS ENUNCIATED THE GOLDEN RULE, WHICH SAYS TO DO UNTO OTHERS BEFORE THEY DO ONE TO YOU. HE ALSO EXPLAINED A MAN DOTH NOT LIVE BY SWEAT ALONE.
20. IT WAS A MIRICLE WHEN JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD AND MANAGED TO GET THE TOMBSTONE OFF THE ENTRANCE.
21. THE PEOPLE WHO FOLLOWED THE LORD WERE CALLED THE 12 DECIBELS.
22. THE EPISTELS WERE THE WIVES OF THE APOSTLES.
23. ONE OF THE OPPOSSUMS WAS ST. MATTHEW WHO WAS ALSO A TAXIMAN.
24. ST. PAUL CAVORTED TO CHRISTIANITY, HE PREACHED HOLY ACRIMONY, WHICH IS ANOTHER NAME FOR MARRAIGE.
25. CHRISTIANS HAVE ONLY ONE SPOUSE. THIS IS CALLED MONOTONY.
