Re 48783

Fact is the advantage of formal prayer is that some people are virtually inarticulate. Certainly a personal, handwritten greeting is nice, but Hallmark has made billions because many people cannot express themselves well.

Well said, though it will be misunderstood, of course.

You mean no Charles' Wesley either? No psalms, or hymns?

Written, preplanned prayers, good.

Written, preplanned songs, bad.

Re 48786

How is it, do you suppose, that people can quote these hacks like Tertullian and be utterly unaware of whome they are quoting and assuming someone will buy as authoritative. I marvel at the audacity of it. I keep wondering if people can really be this ignorant of that which they presume to educate us of - or if not ignorant, then so audacious as to knowingly push falsehood and lies as truth. It angers me just thinking about it. Sorry, just sounding off. Any thoughts?

You're not very self-aware, are you?
