Have you read The Last Battle by C.S. Lewis?

No. Is it Scripture?

Do you intend to answer my question?

Nope. I pretty much intend to say to you whatever strikes my fancy.

***Do you believe we should have completely open borders? No restrictions? Just come on in?***

Nope. Each country oughta reserve the right to screen potential visitors, much less settlers and to set the numbers that either wander in or out, or simply stay for the duration.

***”Immigrants are immigrants”. Sure, but not all the same.***

Agreed. Why would any country want other countries’ rabble rousers and professional leeches and career criminals?

I mean, look what it did for Australia...

***My folks came from Newfoundland in the early 1900’s and the ones still with us still drop their “H”’s and add them where not appropriate. “Did you ear about poor old Enry? E’s gone to the other side e as. Hit was an accident you know. E was fishig for Addock and fell into the hocean.”***

Life on the Rock. They were sure courteous in 2001 when a bunch of airplanes dropped in on them for a lengthy visit.

***Umor this hold guy. Convert the above sentence.***

Umm. I try to use short words for those that need it but it don’t work at times.

Sometimes folks are wise to utilize the English language in order to make their points in a cogent fashion.

I suppose I could respond

but then I’d have to provide a translation.

I pray continually that the alcoholism of my first husband doesn’t get passed down to my children and grandchildren. It was devastating to our family and I never want to see any other members go through what he did and what we did because of it.

I will join you in those prayers, Mary. I know how tough that situation can be too. With God all things are possible. God bless you.

Sadly.

Yes, very sadly. The only way to raise man up above his proper station is to first lower God.

Well put.

And what a slick crafty way to do it with a mother goddess caricature.

An even craftier way to do it is to label the holy ‘profane’ and the profane ‘holy’. And vehemently defend those propositions.

No mother goddess in Catholicism; no caricatures either. If you come across a Catholic site that deals in caricatures of mother goddesses, I’d be obliged to you if you’d let me know what they were.

***I agree with what you say here...***

Well, you are the only one to reply to my statement:

You were the one who introduced the concept of Pastor Wright to us. You provided information to us.

Based upon that information, I would not be inclined to ask him for a shoe shine. If you have further information, I would be grateful to entertain it.
......................

FRiend Quix has not enlightened us with any further information. That can only mean one of two things. Either he is unable to provide such information in a short time, or he is unable to provide such information at all.

What odds do you think would attach to the second proposition?

She’ll never be called Queen by me or by any of the other born again protestants here. Think what you will of Mary, but she would be shocked at the way she’s venerated by many (not all) Catholics. She was a humble and obedient young woman who bore the Saviour. She was not sinless, she had other children, and she was HIS mother, not mine or anyone else’s. To GOD be all the glory.

***We don’t have a Pope. We have only Christ...***

This is a nice fantasy for most Protestants, but they have their leaders and setters of doctrine and interpreters of the Bible and their moral directors.

Some look to others; some look to themselves. For many, a glimpse of their own Pope is in their own mirror.
