Duly excused, dear Harley. Though truth be told, I've let expletives fly like Mussolini from the balcony(1), uh, a time or two.
This post shows what a Christian you are, through and through. It makes me proud on your behalf. God bless you! You possess what I so admire in people; a thick skin and a soft heart.
Now, where did I put that wonderful commentary on Genesis by Calvin -one of the greatest biblical scholars that ever lived! Oh, I think it lies among the other 50 or so commentaries that he completed in his lifetime, interrupted only by death, God rest his immensely intelligent mind, and his indefatigable soul, and may God impart one-tenth of the lack of desire for riches, pomp and pagentry to his present day ministers.
Calvin's life reminds one both of David and Christ. David, because he was fearless, and Christ because he lived the type of life that Christ intended for those who truly carry His Standard of Humility and for those who would speak in His Name, to those of us who were destined to receive instruction by them.

Scripture and Seinfeld in one post.
Sublime. 8~)
I find much to admire in the Theology of Seinfeld!
From the Final Episode, Part One:
Elaine: Oh my God, we're going down. We're going to die!
George: Just when I was doing great. I told you God wouldn't let me be successful.
Either the writers are Calvinists, or they know of God as described in Romans 1, 19-20.
