>>There are two things recently that I have
observed among those in the Roman “church”
1. Attempt to provoke others in an ecumenical thread
2. Call people names and never discuss the issues<<
Would you please point out where I...?
1. Attempted to provoke you
2. Called you a name
Here, In the interest of promoting a “discussion of the issues” let’s change it. Do you think that Jesus ever got dressed in the morning?
Some people just plain ain't worth name-calling.
I doubt you'll get any takers.
Back in 2006, I wrote and posted a song about the improbability that the excess skin from Jesus' circumcision was saved by the early church, but no one thought to save more meaningful relics such as sweat and blood from the Garden of Gethsemane, blood and flailed skin from his scourging - and that's not to mention all other "early years" relics that could have been gathered and collected such as toenail clippings, psoriasis flakes, baby teeth, etc.
I bring it up because a lot of people went berserk when I posted the song. It was deleted within minutes, and at the time, the post was responsible for the most number of "abuse button" complaints ever received for a single post (this was 2006, before the current RF rule was made regarding potty language).
Apparently, it's impossible to discuss Jesus' hygiene without offending a whole lot of people.
