Or since Nicodemus was a tree hugger, maybe his PC name should be Rainbow or Moonbeam.
We call Michigan, "that cesspool to the north". Go Bucks!
Actually, that's what surprised me... Bisexual IS the correct term. It's just been twisted to mean, "so sexually perverted as to not care what it is."
First, the people depose their vigilant king out of spite; then they taunt him and torment him; when he still will not confess, they kill him; unsatisfied still, they abuse the mocking corpse and scatter the remains, covering them thinly in their avenging haste; tired at last of hearing the grieving creaks each time they step upon a shattered bone, they send out the ghouls to rob the graves and burn the last and every fragment in one frantic flaming pyre; then fall to sob on the once-sacred soil laid waste by their madness.
It surely is, but it is so laughable and they make themselves look so ridiculous, it's hard to get too worked up.
Kinda makes you want to become a KJV Only'er, eh?
I wonder if they include the last verse in some versions of the G of T, namely: 114 Simon Peter said to them, "Make Mary leave us, for females don't deserve life." Jesus said, "Look, I will guide her to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males. For every female who makes herself male will enter the kingdom of Heaven."
In light of that verse and some others (22, for starts), I have never understood the idea that the Gospel of Thomas is more "pro-woman" than the traditional Bible.
Well, in fairness, it meant "house of fish" in the same language that they spoke; Colorado, Utah, and Michigan are all from other languages.

>> Or since Nicodemus was a tree hugger, maybe his PC name should be Rainbow or Moonbeam. <<
Nicodemus was no tree-hugger! He brutally used that tree for his own selfish purposes, with absolutely no consideration for the trees self-actualization!
Seriesly, you HAVE to learn how to speak liberal. :^D
I think I will stick with the King James Version.
Slight correction needed:
If you're a protestant, get a King James and get yourself into a Presbyterian Church of America, Missouri Synod Lutheran, or (non-American Baptist Convention) Baptist church. If you're a Catholic, get a Douay or King James + Apocrypha and find a parish that's not corrupted by the left. get a King James and get yourself into a Presbyterian Church of America, Missouri Synod Lutheran, or (non-American Baptist Convention) Baptist church.
Don flame suit.

Hmmmm.... How can I be appropriately politically incorrect? O, yeah:
Frickin' homos.

Yeah, if you're going to distort the bible to serve your own political purposes, you might as well keep a 500-year-old grudge alive, right?
Sorry, but Mayor Jerry Brown has earned the title/name "Moonbeam" many, many years ago.

Granted, but I was thinking in terms of looking on a map. Calling Bethsaida "Fishtown" removes the events from reality, in a sense, unless they've got maps in the back of their Bible with these place names.
The gospel of Thomas is out of line with the canon of scripture - was written much later (in the Gnostic period) - that's why is was NOT included in the canon of Scripture - which was established long before Aquinas ever lived.
Get thee to a nunnery.
Well, I figure at least we can name it so it sounds like a place. Hence, my suggestion, "Fish Harbor."
Fish House sounds like a knockoff of Long John Silver's
