belly..<<..And ignoring too why..so many Gods..if only one made us.>>
belly..there is one god..[eternally/infinitely]as you..breed day-lilies..you..know day/lilies..create only day lilies

what else..is god to create/than gods?

[its almost/like you missed..what son/of god..means.
[jesus said..'see that..ye see me..do..ye will/do greater']

so god made gods
<<Was God having a bad day,>>

mate..sometimes..men/fail..to notice..the consequences
but..imsure..ingods mind..it was a great day[see/that..god/sees..the finished/result]

<<..so many Gods,...then/why?.>>..belly..any..idea/how huge infinity..is?[think..of god as a unionist..looking into..the vastness
saying/workplace/health/safety..indicate..its too much..even for god to figure out by himself..

<<What will heaven be like,..[with]..billions on their knees forever totally loving a God,..why?>>belly..you got god wrong[no one bows..before equals]..what means the words..[of heiniman]thou art god

<<..Are my rights..to follow.my non-belief/as right..as yours to be you?..>>belly..none of us would be happy with each others wives
so..of course..believe if you..have/it..dis-belief..if you need to

god dont get upset/he allows Adults..TO..BE ADULT..when their ready.

<<My Christmas is a continuation/of what it was before the Christ Myth.>>funny..how a unionist..says he dont believe..in christ[but yet want triple time..for/not..taking a day off]

the word is hypocrites..[ie atheist expecting a holy-day..means holiday]..and whats with sundays..you athiest dopnt need them..yet happily take the day off

but rightfully mate..thats hypocritical..no-god means give back them days..if their not..'special'..to you..face it mate..thats being two faced

no god..but..sure i take the sabbath
no..god means no reason..not to work..every day.,..for the same pay

but now you got me trolling/my own thread
and spin/bot..promised..but he too has no..opinion..on the topic

so im..doubtful..there is.any reason..for breaking down..whats revealed..but..here goes..

<<1.THE JOY OF..THE/GOSPEL fills..the
hearts..and lives..of all..who encounter Jesus.>>..

[two points..gospel..means..just/the 4 witness..[not the pauline stuff..the comfort comes..from the..first/person..witness/and jesus/fine-words..[not the creed.]

<<Those/who accept..his offer/of salvation..are set free
from sin,..sorrow,..inner emptiness..and loneliness.>>

as long as the sin..no/more
nor yearn..for sin..in..their heart

<<..With Christ..joy..is constantly..born anew.>>

ahh.men..its..nice..to/be..with the good guys[helping..each-other]
fighting..for other..instead..of fighting..each-other]

<<In this..Exhortation..I wish/to encourage..the Christian faithful to embark/upon..a new chapter/of evangelization..marked by*this joy, while..pointing/out..new paths for..the Church’s/journey..in years to come.

I...A JOY..that..is..EVER..[re-NEW-ed,..
becomes..A JOY..WHICH IS..properly/SHARED..[with/other/..for/other]

anyhow/have..a..win*field

my..latest ..edit..of jesus/word
reveal..his dislike.of.the ritual..[of..us..eating/his flesh/blood]

http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=6040#177181

but..heck..if its..feeding/the poor..whats/the harm
but..it must/be..more than..mere crumbs

here..is a/tasty..more-sell?

170...Although..it sounds obvious,..spiritual/accompaniment
must lead..others..ever..closer to God,[the father..VIA..the son]..
GOD*..in whom we..attain true freedom.[once/we cast/of..these mortal/skins]..

<<Some people..think they/are free..if they can..avoid God;
others,,only/feel..good..by avoiding doing..of good

<<they fail..to see that..they remain..
existentially/orphaned,..helpless,..homeless.>>

jesus..ASSURED..us..our/fathers-HOUSE..has*many/rooms
sheep/goat/tares/wheat/chaff..all..have-GOT..their home..ONLY.by/in god's/house;

<<They cease/being pilgrims..and..become drifters,
flitting around..themselves..and..never/getting..anywhere.>>

the father..gave/us/life..
to live/learn/seek/find

<<To accompany..them/would be.counterproductive..*if it..became
a sort/of therapy/supporting..their self-absorption..and ceased to be a pilgrimage..with Christ..*to the Father.>>[our/OMNI-PRESNT?..FATHER!

obscure..but..who measures..productivity=,man
see our brothers..as a rad..to perfect.good/god.
[that..we did/to..the least..we did/unto..the most.

<<171...Today..NOW..more than ever/we need..men..and women>>

not children?

<<who,..on the basis/of their experience..of accompanying others,
are familiar with processes/which call..for prudence,/understanding, patience..and docility..to the Spirit,.so that they/can protect the sheep..from wolves..who would scatter/the flock.>>

materialist-ism
here..[in..the next/life]..
we sort..the wolves..from/the sheep..simply..by listening

<<We need to practice/the art of listening,..which is/more than simply hearing...Listening,..in communication,..is an openness of heart..which/makes possible/that closeness..without/which genuine spiritual..encounter..cannot occur.>>

ahh/men..to..that
but..i..just stopped..listening

listen*

<<Listening..helps us to find..the right gesture*and word
which shows that*..we are more..than simply..by*standers>>/judges.

<<Only through..such respectful..and compassionate listening can we enter on the paths of true growth..and RE_awaken..a yearning for the Christian ideal:>>..[teaching/by learning.

<<..the desire..to respond fully*..to God’s love
and to bring..to GOOD/GODLY..fruition..what he has sown in our lives. But..this always demands..the patience..of/one..who knows*..full well what..Saint Thomas Aquinas/tells us:

<<..that any*one..can have grace and charity,..and yet
falter in the exercise..of the virtues..because..of persistent “contrary inclinations”.[133]>>

dual-minded-ness..[following two masters
believing simultaneously..two./.seeing opposing concepts
an eternal-god..needs a more eternal..mother..god..is inall men..not just some.

<<In other words,..the organic unity..of the virtues always and necessarily exists in habitu,..[in-habituation.in ego-mind/body].. even though..forms of conditioning..can hinder..the operations/of those virtuous habits...

<<Hence the need for..“a pedagogy..?..which will introduce..people step by step..to the full appropriation..of the mystery”.[134]>>

citation/needed

<<..Reaching a level of maturity..where individuals..can make truly free..create..joyfull..and responsible decisions..calls for much time and patience.>>

yes..ingods time...not/mine/nor thyne

<<..As Blessed Peter Faber/used to say:..“Time is God’s messenger”.>>

and eternity..means blessed..peter/faber
even..now..still/says it..in eternity..[where the timed illusion..only frames..earthy-context][oh..well..nothing was striring]

Dear Johan (OUG),

Thanks for your early Christmas messages.
Here's one for you:

"The outback was buzzing with wonderful news
A wallaby passed it to two kangaroos
Spiny echidnas emerged from the ground
Busy young bandicoots bounded around
A web-footed platypus gazed at the view
Some fluffy-tailed gliders looked longingly too
Carolling kookaburras laughed with delight
Crimson rosellas sang right through the night
Along loped an emu as though in a dream
Koalas stopped munching to show their esteem
Dancing grey brolgas stepped forward and bowed
Bright-crested cockatoos chattered aloud
A possum quite joyfully pricked up one ear
And wide-eyed with wonder a wombat crept near
The stars of the Southern Cross pointed the way
To the Babe who was born on that first Christmas Day."

Joy to The World!

Foxy and you One Under God are good people.
Foxy,s out back tale has every bit as much truth in it as the God Myths.
Hoping both and for that matter every one enjoys the Bacchanalia as much as I will.

Yeah
Joy to all the abused little children?
Joy for all the advances stopped?
Joy for all the women maligned and mistreated for working/using their free will/having an abortion etc etc?
Joy to the homosexuals that they hate with a passion?
Joy for all their riches and lucre?
Joy for all the wars and conflict?

I dont see any joy in your insane belief in some superman in the sky.
It is just an excuse to be nasty and intolerant and filled with hate while pretending you are oh so loving and kind and peaceful.
Makes me want to vomit!
