To: Dr. Eckleburg; Mad Dawg
You see, this ties in to what Mad Dawg meant (I think) by an expanded notion of God. If I didn't know better -- if all I had to go on was religion threads on FR, I would think Protestants have a little-tin-god-and-"redeemer" in their pockets, no bigger or more inconvenient than a Blackberry, sort of like a Chatty Cathy who parrots a limited number of phrases with no understanding of more than mechanical phrases.

Fortunately, I've studied, for example, Milton and the Metaphysicals, Dean Swift and Dr. Johnson, etc. so I don't think that. And if I want to understand the Protestant mind, I'd rather listen to Milton!

Okay, read us off some of the ways he has the popes described in hell for starters, lol. By the way, some of us did graduate English courses too, lol

LOL. Well maybe your time would be better spent reading less Milton and the Metaphysicals and Dr. Johnson, and more of the Bible in order to learn what Protestants believe.
