THANKS.

It's a bit difficult to understand how any authentic Christian can read such a list of outrageously blasphemous attributes of even the caricature of Mary

without their blood curdling and a vigorous anguished scream of utter dismay beginning in their big toes and rushing forth with great fury from their mouths.

Mind Boggling.

It's yet another way RC's disregard the scriptures. Any study of the bible will show the importance of God's name. Good heavens it's even one of the 10 commandments. So that importance of God's name is blasphemed in the way RCs give more and even loftier names to their idol Mary.

This goes beyond disregard. This is 1st degree blaspheme with malice afore thought.

Gentile Lady,

Would you kindly cut me a HUGE chunk o' break here? Mary was many things, but I don't think we have bestowed on her the title of Shiksa. I think if you're going to unleash a barrage you ought to try to see to it that none of the shells is a dud.

And I'm looking for something in all this list that takes away from the Supreme Sovereignty of God. Coming up empty.The Great Divorce. Those who receive great gifts from God are indeed resplendent as the moon (at 0300 today) shone beautifully with a light not its own. I am confident that a few passing bits of space debris scoffed at all those who gazed on that moon and said, "How lovely!"

"How DARE they!" they said. "The SUN is the only source of light in this system! How impious to praise a mere satellite or a sunset or the light shining on the clouds! And I don't even want to HEAR about rainbows! Don't they know they must praise only the Sun and never his works in which he shows his glory?"

The Lord is glorious in all His works, but don't you let me catch you praising what He has done.

You bear false witness against a billion people with stunning facility.

“Sorry.”

Is that a new make-believe emotion to go with a new fantasized Scriptural interpretation?

Or

Is that the title of a new Vatican fantasy dogma?

Or is it a new book in the Canoized Apocralyptica?

Oh, I know . . . a new mode of dress for a new order of Sisters of Perpetual Whining. Only I think it should be spelled “Sari.”

Is your home affected by the flood? I pray not.

Thank you, no. But 438 blocks have been flooded and the cops and national guard are guarding against vandalism and dangerous conditions. The people are very frustrated that they can't even go look at their houses.

Please don't go! That'll make the harpies even worse!

But suddenly the Harpies arrive,
in a fearsome swoop from the hills,
flapping their wings with a huge noise,
snatching at the food,
and fouling everything with their filthy touch:
then there's a deadly shriek amongst the foul stench.
Aeneid III.225ff.

No Shakespeare or Shakespearian references, please, and especially no references to “the Scottish Play”. It’s bad luck, AND, besides, there’s a serious body of opinion that Shakespeare was a crypto-Papist.

I am reminded of a line from Shaw's Caesar and Cleopatra:
He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.

If we “hanged our harps on the willows”, does that make us harpies? (Never liked Dido)

What a GRANDIOSE fantasy! That's just a very small, close inner circle list of buddies who often enjoy the same jokes. Kind of a courtesy laugh sort of ping. Kind of an honor, actually.

Though I can understand that with all the twisted, over-the-line, excessive, off the wall veneration etc. thrown at the caricature of Mary . . . honor is kind of a super mangled thing in the RC edifice and may not be easily translatable in terms of the honor of sharing a joke with a group of buddies.
