Subject: RE: Where is God? From: Steve Parkes Date: 22 Nov 01 - 12:04 PM Sorry to add yet another smart-arse comment, but doesn't referring to a single indivisible divine mystery offend pantheistic religious followers like hindus? There are more of them here than I'd care to upset. Steve |
Subject: RE: Where is God? From: The_one_and_only_Dai Date: 22 Nov 01 - 11:22 AM 'Dunmanifestin', a well-appointed retirement home in Eastbourne for superannuated deities. My friend's cousin's sister works there, and she has a terrible time breaking up the fights between old El himself (he will insist on being addressed as YHWH though) and the rest of the Elohim, who still resent being sidelined... but hey, what goes around comes around. |

Actually, I like that. It has a kind of beauty. I think you could clean it up a bit, though... "And this divine mystery at the centre of the universe wished there to be light, and there was light. From the centre of the universe, this divine mystery knew the light and it was good. And the light was divided from the darkness." |

Subject: Where is God? From: EarlofSidcup Date: 22 Nov 01 - 03:16 AM From a letter in today's Daily Telegraph: SIR - Have I just heard the first fruits of the proposed legislation to make incitement to religious hatred a criminal offence? Speaking on the Today programme yesterday morning, the Bishop of Oxford referred to "the divine mystery at the centre of the universe", presumably to avoid giving pre-eminence to the Christian Deity through use of the exclusive epithet God, which claim, he must have thought, could be interpreted by worshippers of other gods as an incitement to religious hatred. I tried out this new religious correctness on Genesis 1, v 3-4: "And this divine mystery at the centre of the universe said, Let there be light: and there was light. And the divine mystery at the centre of the universe saw the light, that it was good; and the divine mystery at the centre of the universe divided the light from the darkness."
