The son of a serpent handler who also died, in 1983, after being bitten
Now if my Dad had died from being bitten by a snake, I wouldn't be going near the things!

You are openly posting about a gay priest (oxymoron)? That should be moved to the soapbox so people can share their opinions on that. :)
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I believe the word you are looking for is tautology. :)

Actually I meant it the way I have it; however, after thinking about it, you are right. There are a lot of religions where it is tautology. I guess I was sticking to conservative Bible teachings, not our modern progressive (progress us into oblivion) thinking.

Interesting, a word combination that is both a tautology and an oxymoron. I wonder if there's a word for that.

Indeed! Heck, even Tooheys probably makes more sense than Budweiser (and as Michael Martin will tell you, that's saying something!).

I guess it depends on your background. I came to Faith quite recently (early 2001), so my perspective on the Bible is probably a bit different to what it might have been if I'd been raised from childhood with conservative translations of it. Although I was asked to leave my first church when I came out as trans (they just got frightened, I think), I've found love and understanding in Anglican, Baptist and MCC congregations. More importantly, during that time I've come to realise that all of the squabbling between various churches over theology and approach is a huge distraction from what we're meant to be doing, and that people are getting hurt unnecessarily. As Revd. Elder Troy Perry is fond of saying, "The main thing, is to keep the Main Thing, the MAIN THING" (the main thing being Jesus of course). I think the world would be a far happier place if those arguing within the church kept that in mind and stopped taking pot-shots at each other and vulnerable people. Anyway, off soapbox now. Fancy a beer? :beer:

What's the word for the universe imploding? :)

The big crunch. Oh wait, that was rhetorical, wasn't it? :)

Agreed. Jesus should be the focus. Good point.

Toxymoron? Oxyology? (I just made those up!)
