BTW, Paula, I don't condemn, I '
remind' folks what happens when ya trample all over the 1st Commandment. I never say to a pagan-heathen ya can't be one, etc--- that ain't my bag. However when they take liberties and do a number on things I hold near and dear I make mention of it.
Talkin' 'boot a point of view , I was sent one by e-mail from a person who was contacted by PS, and I was mentioned in it along with other forum luminaries.
His gripe is this, we are all readin' off the same sheet of music. I am as like minded 'boot the crista as Roger, Sheila, TCP...

This tells me palsy is followin his topic with his usual jaundiced eye. The surprise to me here is to be on equal footing with Roger + Sheila concerning the crista.
Now that's a bizarre observation, yes? considerin' how Roger, Sheila, TCP take me to task for my take on the crista. I wonder why Tingra didn't get a mention due to her prolific posts 'boot the crista. I can imagine palsy would say I am in total agreement with her take on it as well.
Maybe it was my comparin' the lucrativeness of the activities described in The Rise that Sauniere benefitted by could be compared to the crista bein' a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Roger got rather perturbed by that comparison for reasons he has yet to expound on.
Am I to assume the crista has taken on myth-fable proportions just like Aladdins lamp? Or like Ali Baba forgettin' the magic password to enter a cave full of treasure?
I mentioned to C Ghost that the presence of this crista object in France has not benefitted that country from what I can surmise. Unless it was to help Carla Bruni get her foot into the Hollyweird scene, via Woody Allen's assistance. Maybe the crista is used to keep Carla's botox in place.
Hey it has to have some kind of practical applications, yes?
I want to pass on my appreciation for a friendly pat on the back from Wayward Bill. He has taken his lumps from bein' on the forum and still holds his head up high... good show, Bill, keep up the posting tempo. The forum needs inputs like yours to allow for divergence of opinions.
Otherwise what palsy sez may well come to pass and we will all start sounding like Roger clones in our posts. was taken aback a bit when TCP when TCP chastized Roger for a serious gaffe, and yet genuflected to him simultaneously.
I have personal integrity, I bow down to no man. I serve Jesus and that is all that matters in life, everything else is just that...everything else. I am human with all the same faults and am extremely thankful that their is a merciful God to pray to for absolution. I make my share of mistakes like the next person .I am not perfect. That's why I humbly subject myself to the dictates of what the religion I believe in asks of me.
In this manner I am spared the daily command to a Talmudnik to say...thank you Lord for not making me a woman. And to think of the fuss 'boot the Pope condemning women who wanna be priests. To thank God for sparing a Jew from becoming a woman is to deny 1/2 of the world's total population a reason to exist at all. In this situation, bein' a woman is the worst possible curse imaginable.
Paula, that is not a possible concept in my belief system, 'cuz we are all created for the purpose to worship Our Creator That's what religion is all 'boot, yes? religare. is to give back thanks. and not to castigate 1/2 of the total population as bein' completely useless and worthless.
I apologize for the sermon, but Paula somehow sees me as a misogynist, which I certainly am not.
