All Along the Watchtower
All i am interested in is pancake Tuesday 😀
Surely this is the Dyann verse for this thread.
"Disillusioned words like bullets bark
As human gods aim for their mark
Make everything from toy guns that spark
To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark
It's easy to see without looking too far
That nothing much is really sacred."
It's Alright Ma (I'm only Bleeding) Dylan

I'm just teasing you.
I do genuinely believe that memory is a key part of intelligence and that the word intelligence is not just about 'original thinking' but includes the whole range of mental ability including memory, the ability to learn, the ability to do various mental tasks and original thinking among others.
I must also point out that the post we were discussing:
But the really really big differance is the others you speak of have no proof that they exist. But one would have to be blind to not see the affects that Satan has on the world. Right? Of course an intelligent person would see that.
Was an attempt to assert a claim and avoid trying to defend it. ie his intention was to insult anyone who disagrees with him and thus hoped that they would avoid answering.
Originally posted by twhiteheadi am sorry but unless you can see inside a person, his motives and intentions, you cannot make claims like this. Galvos reference to intelligence was not an insult, merely that a discerning person should be able to look at certain aspects of the system in which we live and through a spiritual comprehension attribute those deficiencies to a satanic element. The problem, that you have is that you know not of the characteristics of this element and cannot make the connection and even if you did, you may not even accept them.

Imagine if i'd said this -
But one would have to be blind to not see the affects that evolution has on the world. Right? Of course an intelligent person would see that.
How would you feel if i directed that to you?
Originally posted by Proper KnobI truly understand what you are saying dear Noobster, but also i dont think that Galvo was being condescending. You must try to understand that the Bible really does speak of persons as being blinded (not in a literal sense but in a spiritual sense), also it takes time to get used to the forum, i myself have really struggled against being dogmatic, but little by little we adjust. You must cut Galvo some slack, he is under real pressure. If you has said that to me, i would have been thankful that it was not worse and launched into a monologue of the deficiencies of the evolutionary model (if i could be bothered) like a bull in a china shop 🙂

Originally posted by FMFOk the Good Friday services you are supposed to go to a big crucifix and kiss the Feet of Jesus, as for different parts, tents, T.Vs I'm not sure never saw or heard of it before now
I'm just back from Good Friday mass and there was one thing I quietly declined to do during the proceedings. Before the communion section of the mass, some men brought largish crucifixes to various parts of the church and its surrounds where the congregation was sitting under tent things, all able to see TV monitors showing the altar and choir etc., and everyone ...[text shortened]... p to kiss the feet of Jesus. Surely this falls foul of one of the 10 commandments or something?
Originally posted by daniel58It wasn't Jesus or God. It was one might call a 'graven image'. It was a 12 inch plastic doll figure of Jesus/God. The feet are plastic. The blood is red paint. You buy the doll from a shop.

Originally posted by FMFOf course it ws an image to them no matter what it's made of. Doesn't make much sense does it?
