I think Mix's discourse looks like it came from the same place as his newsreader. The bible is literature -- some of it doggerel, and some of it rather interesting. For example, take this bit from Luke 17: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: 13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. 14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. 15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, 16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. 17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? 18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. 19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole. 20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Tom: Do you believe this to be true? What does it mean to you? Full disclosure: I refer to the bible on occasion, despite not being "Christian" according to some people. (I used to say that I am a "Theodore Parker Christian", but even that made a certain minister uncomfortable, poor sap. -- Doc Hammerslack ] The unspeakable PeE-Gospel of a million False Prophets is cursed ] to be eternally of utmost concern to the fate of the planet.
