Its not a tiny handful sonny.
Thousands of ministers, pastors, elders, people moving in the Gifts of The Holy Spirit. Black fellows, white fellows, asian fellows. Male and female, teenagers. You name it ...thousands all across this great land doing battle against satans hordes in the spirit world.
And then theres you sheltered little lot....hmmmmm!
"MacDonalds children" sheltered and cushioned from the truths of life.

Thanks for the chuckle, Gibo. At least you're always good for a laugh.

Come on, admit it now - you're really a stoned uni student winding us up... aren't you?

I have been reading this thread, thinking of posting then deciding not to bother, it is too far out-there-with-the-pixies to bother about but I am intrigued by the expression "MacDonalds children" however, first:

Gibo “Like many other christians Ive seen evil spirits. Been attacked by them...smothered and bitten.”

Sounds positively kinky

But then, self flagellation is the regular Friday entertainment in opus dei.


Regarding “"MacDonalds children" sheltered and cushioned from the truths of life.”

Are they the ones who live in McMansions?

It is a strange place where some folk take it upon themselves to invent clichés to how they view the way other folk bring up their kids.

I doubt any child who is the victim of a cult will be exposed to the truth of anything, life included and when I read some of the views expressed by the more “religious” minded of our posting brethren, I become more convinced that all organized religious faiths and denominations represent aspects of “cult”, which I have never observed in a McDonalds, even when Macca’s deploy the most intense advertising and marketing techniques.

I find MdDonalds is less motivated to want to control my values and beliefs than say the Church of Rome or any of the other denominations who claim, fraudulently, to be the sole interlocutor between man and God.

So I guess, if I have to choose, you will find me prostrating myself before a Big Mac before you will find me at the high alter at St Pats and safe in the knowledge, I am less likely to be “burgered” from behind at Maccas.

CJ. Actually I was blessed not to go to Uni.
My son was stunned by the dribble the lecturers went on especially in the Charlie Darwin/evolution area. Creating theory then believing it to be true.

Listen guys,

Previously I could not sleep at night because I was so awefully bothered with the question of how many angels can sit on the tip of a needle.

But now after reading this thread I can finally rest, for I have confidentently and positively resolved that their number is a function of what stuff this needle injects.

Thank you all, I am off...

Just one more thing, Boaz.

You know how I love to follow up your references, don't you?

Here's one that I couldn't find...

>>.. read the Barnabus report Pericles to see what is happening NOW.. today to Christians in many places.. there is nothing 'shrill' about it<<

Barnabus report, Boaz?

Directions,please. Where do I find this report?
