Languish's church attendence

[Valmy]

One of these days I am likely to show up in Texas...

There was a kid in my review session for my Computer Engineering Final last night who was wearing Jets gear.  So you might fit right in.

The good Jets (Winnipeg) or the bad Jets (NY)?

The good Jets.

The good Jets.

We truly are legion.   

But yeah - Texas is one of those places I'd like to visit, and where travel costs are much mroe reasonable.  So assuming Languish keeps running I should, eventually, make it down there and meet up with you and your family.

I'd like to visit Quebec too.

But Texas is actually easier to get to from Alberta.

I think God will have to explain the whole Holocaust gig, before I agree to be on speaking terms with him/it.

People have free will.

Even parents intervene when their young children are making egregious errors.

Who is to say God didn't?

Within a few years Hitler was dead, Berlin lay in ruins, and the Jews had their own country... 

so your saying there is a God, he just has god aweful timing?

There are very few "objective criteria" in attempting to analyze any ancient text, be it the Bible, the Illiad or Mayan stelae.  That certainly does not mean that attempts to analyze such works is futile.

Except no Homer scholar tries to prove Zeus was watching it all from Mt Ida. He's more interested in things like whether Bronze Age champions disembarked from chariots to fight, which might be proved by actual evidence.

I don't think Homer was ever regarded as a "religious" text.  It's more like a story where gods happen to be some of the characters.

It was just as much of a religious text as the Bible in the sense that the Greeks used the text as instructional lessons regarding how to live their lives.

Just that he moves in mysterious ways...

Because the egregious error could have been corrected before millions had to die.

Pretty sure no errors were involved.  The Germans seemed pretty deliberate.

If mysterious means idiotic then yes, I agree.

The notion that God controlled everything means that God is responsible for that as well.  The notion of free will is rather odd in the Christian doctrine since God can and does, Christians believe, intervene or as BB would have it moves in ways we cannot comprehend.  Which is really code for WTF was God doing?

They erred in thinking it was a good idea.

I like to think He was too busy watching over America.
