Faith is now quite uncertain. I'm no longer acting-as-if.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - ETERNAL LIFE
If you are a blogger and do not believe in eternal life, then you must never have hit publish by mistake and had to delete a post. The post remains alive and visible in Google Reader forever and ever. Amen.
That's not for eternity, Grandmere. It's just until the alien post-grads that run the interweb have collected all the Human knowledge they need for their 'Primitive Lifeforms in the Universe' paper towards their doctorates. Then they'll shut it down and bugger off to a party.
Not necessarily. I can delete your comment with a click. Of course, the comment may remain hidden away somewhere in the bowels of the intertubes in a secret place of which I have no knowledge.
No, Grandmere. I respect you too much to start that kind of discussion here and I don't want to outstay my welcome; I'll save it for those who take the Biblical analogous tales absolutely literally.
Which is why I respect you too much to want to abuse your hospitality, and it would have been a cheap shot anyway. It would make an old man happy if we could both pretend I was merely referring to Lazarus, and leave it at that.....Please.

ReplyDeleteDammit! Now this'll be there for eternity :-)

So, the achievement of immortality at last ... who knew it could be so easy, spell-checked or not, dear Acolyte ... peace be and be and be....
DeleteWelcome Genette. Is anyone surprised that Google is the achiever?
DeleteSpelling mistake? I know it's late (almost 2am here in Blighty) but I can't see it. And I don't drink, so it's not that ;-)
Delete"I can delete your comment with a click"
DeleteBe careful, dear Grandmere; power corrupts. It's true, I saw it on the interweb.
Nothing so simple as a spelling mistake. I can edit the misspellings. Half the post was a mistaken memory, and there was far too much wrong to fix.
DeleteI should reread this for Halloween - scary!
ReplyDeleteSarah, I find the posts that won't die after deletion spooky and Halloweenish, too.
DeleteSort of like the undead....
Delete"Sort of like the undead...."
DeleteHmm, dare I? I did promise to be well behaved here, after all....
Oh go ahead.
DeleteNo, Grandmere. I respect you too much to start that kind of discussion here and I don't want to outstay my welcome; I'll save it for those who take the Biblical analogous tales absolutely literally.
DeleteWell, I can safely say I don't read the Bible literally.
