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! Posted by Foxy, Thursday, 28 November 2013 10:53:17 AM

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. Posted by Belly, Thursday, 28 November 2013 12:57:20 PM

Dear Belly,
Thanks for your well wishes and here's Wishing you Everything that's Beautiful in Life. May your spirit keep smiling and your soul continue to dance to good music! Posted by Foxy, Thursday, 28 November 2013 3:43:23 PM

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!

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
