A fine write Gary. A guy in town sells these orange peel Christmas wreaths thingys. It\'s overpowering to walk by his stall. Phew!

A fine write Gary. I see it as His presence being, well, \'present\' in the bread and wine, though not as \'the real presence\'.
I expect you know what I mean - the Protestant line.

A good Haiku Gary. I expect you know I\'m going to say that I don\'t go along with all of it, being on the Protestant side, though I don\'t emphasise denominations much at all.

Gary,
This IS a “beautiful” write! I could relate a few personal situations that I know of...but it’s not necessary for me to do so in order to say THANK YOU for sharing this write! Our lives ARE a gift and we should be thankful!

Yes, I understand about heritage of buildings. But what about - when I went to share the Peace (handshake, etc) an elderly chap was asleep behind me! Maybe the sermon/homily had caused him to doze off?!

I Defeated Satan
Gary Edward Geraci said:
I think one of the most tangible written demonstrations of the existence of the devil (Satan), for me, outside of inspired, biblical revelation, came to me in Fyodor Dostoevsky’s “The Brother’s Karamazov.” And it’s a fictional novel. But, my oh my, what it describes (I believe from an atheist character in the work), in relation to real world events (then and now), leaves little room for doubt (faith doesn’t strive for nor needs to be validated through scientific certainty - i.e. the heresy of scientism). But we don’t throw “reason” out the door either. Start with the first several modules over at crediblecatholic.com ....

Yes ... with this style, they (the stanzas) are all written to be purposely disconnected. Thanks for your read “O”.

Dusk - thanks for your read and comment; see “Fail: What Happens when Richard Dawkins Tries to Refute Aquinas” by Matt Fradd for how claims regarding the alleged mutual incompatibility of “omniscience” and “omnipotence” are concluded within our Catholic community. I’ll try to check out your work too. Peace and love....

A fine write Gary. I understand - \'religion\' gets mixed up with this, and causes a lot of the troubles, fightings, etc. That\'s how I see it.

Who would want to offer anything to such a cruel god. Gods so called omnipotence gives god the power to do good but god chooses to do evil things to individuals and whole communities..
Brainwashed continue worshiping.

Locked Out!
Tamara Beryl Latham - The Poet said:
Such beautifully spiritual words that consume the reader. Churches being shut is, unfortunately, just the beginning. The powers that be would love to put an end to Christianity.
Great write!

orchidee said:
You \'fighting that good fight\' (of faith) there?!
Some think they defeat satan by chucking some one out of \'their\' pew. Or that may be the \'unforgivable sin\' to them! Whispers of \'Tut, tut, and who\'s been sitting in MY pew?\'
But reply to them: Smile sweetly and say \'Pews/seats are reserved only in heaven\' (or for special occasions in church).
Though some places don\'t know what pews are! I\'m rambling on now. lol.

dusk arising said:
He he he. I think you defeated the person who invented the concept of satan. Theres no proof, other than words from man, that satan ever existed. Whole thing was invented to make you be a good boy.
Man also invented a lot of beliefs to gain power over the masses. How wickedly clever was that?

But - I fought (thought) you was talkin\' in (English) cockney slang there. e.g. \'apples and pears = stairs\'.
They would know Marfa - she\'s an OK geezer, as cockneys might say!

Well I know a church - only the side Chapel is open, and never on Sundays! Another group has taken over the main building, so at least there\'s some life there.
I am doubting the Chapel\' s surviving part of their motto: \'Going forward....\' More like standing still or going backwards?! doh!

With the second one - ooh, I know, can\'t have vagrants cluttering up the church, or making the place look untidy. See them off!
Yet a serious side, in that some may be dangerous or look suspicious. Mind that church silver, they might nick it!
