  1. It is really quite simple. One has evidence of being correct and the others think they are correct. To put it another way, the others claim evidence of being correct and only one thinks it is correct. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

  3. And from the Bible: Two of the sons of Aaron "offered strange fire before the Lord" and "there went out fire from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord." 10:1-2 Moses tells Aaron that his sons were burned to death to sanctfy and glorify God. 10:3 Moses tells Aaron's cousins to drag the burned bodies out of the camp, and he warns Aaron not to mourn the death of his sons or God will kill him too, along with everyone else. 10:4-6 "When ye be come into the land of Canaan ... I put the plague of leprosy in ... the land of your possession." God "put the plague of leprosy" on the Canaanites. 14:34 Homosexual acts are an abomination to God. 18:22 "Whosoever shall commit any of these abominations ... shall be cut off from among their people." 18:29 "Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times." Don't eat anything with blood, or use magic or astrology. 19:26 "Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard." Don't round the corners of your head or beard. 19:27 "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you." Don't get an tatoos. 19:28 Stay away from wizards and people with familiar spirits. 19:31 Stay away from people with familiar spirits and don't "go a whoring" after them either. 20:6 If a man has sex with another man, kill them both. 20:13 People with "familiar spirits" (witches, fortune tellers, etc.) are to be stoned to death. 20:27 Handicapped people cannot approach the altar of God. They would "profane" it. 21:16-23 No stranger or slave can "eat of the holy thing." 22:10, 13 If a priest's daughter marries "a stranger" she can't eat any holy things. 22:12 God won't accept animal sacrifices from strangers, since strangers have blemishes and are corrupt. 22:25 Don't do any work on the day of atonement or God will destroy you. 23:29-30 A man curses and blasphemes while disputing with another man. Moses asks God what to do about it. God says that the whole community must stone him to death. "And the children of Israel did as the Lord and Moses commanded." 24:10-23 Anyone who blasphemes or curses shall be stoned to death by the entire community. 24:16 God tells the Israelites to make slaves out of their neighbors and their families. The "heathens" and "strangers" are to be their possessions forever. 25:44-46 If you don't follow all of the laws in the Old Testament, God will shower you with all of the curses in the next 25 verses. 26:14-15 "I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it." 26:16 "I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies." 26:17 "And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins." 26:18 "I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins." 26:21 "I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle." 26:22 "I ... will punish you yet (another) seven times for your sins." 26:24 "I will bring a sword upon you ... I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy." 26:25 "And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me ... then ... I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins." 26:27-28 "And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat." 26:29 "I will ... cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you." 26:30 "And I will make your cities waste." 26:31 "And I will bring the land into desolation". 26:32 "And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste." 26:33 "And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth." 26:36 "And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies." 26:37 "And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up." 26:38 "And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them." 26:39 God defines the value of human life in dollars and cents. Of course, to God, females are worth considerably less than males (50 - 60%) -- but neither are worth much. 27:3-7 http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/lev/int_list.html God decides to kill Moses because his son had not yet been circumcised. 4:24-26 God will kill the Egyptian children to show that he puts "a difference between the Egyptians and Israel." 11:7 After God has sufficiently hardened the Pharaoh's heart, he kills all the firstborn Egyptian children. When he was finished "there was not a house where there was not one dead." 12:29 No stranger, foreigner, or uncircumcised person can eat the Passover. 12:43, 45, 48 If you do what God says, he won't send his diseases on you (like he did to the Egyptians). But otherwise.... 15:26 When the people complain to Moses, he tells them they aren't complaining about him, but about God, making them apostates and heretics, and therefore deserve severe punishment. Religious leaders have used this tactic ever since. 16:8 Joshua, with God's approval, kills the Amalekites "with the edge of the sword." 17:13 The Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation." 17:14 "The Lord has sworn [God swears!] that the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation." 17:16 God favors Israelites "above all people." 19:5 The first commandment ("Thou shalt have no other gods before me.") condemns those who worship any other than the biblical god. 20:3 "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." Thousands of innocent women have suffered excruciating deaths because of this verse. 22:18 "He who sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed." If this commandment is obeyed, then the four billion people who do not believe in the biblical god must be killed. 22:20 Don't even mention the names of the other gods. 23:13 Do not allow others to worship a different god. Conquer them and destroy their religious property. 23:24 God promises to "send his fear before the Israelites" and to kill everyone that they encounter when they enter the promised land. 23:27 Stay away from those who worship a different god. 23:32 Don't let any strangers attend your animal sacrifices. 29:33 Whoever puts holy oil on a stranger shall be "cut off from his people." 30:33 Those who break the Sabbath are to be executed. 31:14 Moses burned the golden calf, ground it into powder, and then forced it down the throats of all the people. 32:20 God orders the sons of Levi (Moses, Aaron, and the other members of their tribe that were "on the Lord's side") to kill "every man his neighbor.... And there fell of the people that day about 3000 men." 32:27-28 "Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book." 32:33 God drives out the pagan tribes and commands the Israelites to destroy their altars and places of worship. 34:11-14 God, "whose name is Jealous", will not tolerate the worship of any other god. 34:14 Whoever works, or even kindles a fire, on the Sabbath "shall be put to death." 35:2-3 http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/ex/int_list.html Moses murders an Egyptian after making sure that no one is looking. 2:11-12 "I will ... smite Egypt with all my wonders." 3:20 God threatens to kill the Pharaoh's firstborn son. 4:23 God decides to kill Moses because his son had not yet been circumcised. 4:24-26 Moses and Aaron ask the Pharaoh to let all the Israelites go into the desert to pray for three days, or else God will kill them all "with pestilence, or with the sword." 5:3 "Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh." 6:1 God will make sure that Pharaoh does not listen to Moses, so that he can kill Egyptians with his armies. 7:4 "And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD." Who else could be so cruel and unjust? 7:5, 17 God tells Moses and Aaron to smite the river and turn it into blood. 7:17-24 The fifth plague: all cattle in Egypt die. 9:2-6 The sixth plague: boils and blains upon man and beast. 9:9-12 "For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth." Who else but the biblical god could be so cruel? 9:14 God gave power to the Pharaoh so that he could show off his own power by killing him. 9:15-16 The seventh plague is hail. "And the hail smote throughout the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast." 9:22-25 God wants to be remembered forever for the mass murder of little children. 10:2 These verses clearly show that the mass murder of innocent children by God was premeditated. 11:4-6 (see 12:29-30) God will kill the Egyptian children to show that he puts "a difference between the Egyptians and Israel." 11:7 God explains to Moses that he intends to "smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast. 12:12 After God has sufficiently hardened the Pharaoh's heart, he kills all the firstborn Egyptian children. When he was finished "there was not a house where there was not one dead." Finally, he runs out of little babies to kill, so he slaughters the firstborn cattle, too. 12:29 To commemorate the divine massacre of the Egyptian children, Moses instructs the Israelites to "sacrifice to the Lord all that openeth the matrix" -- all the males, that is. God has no use for dead, burnt female bodies. 13:2, 12, 15 "I will harden Pharaoh's heart." 14:4 After hardening Pharaoh's heart a few more times, God drowns Pharaoh's army in the sea 14:4-28 The LORD shall fight for you 14:14 "I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour." 14:17 "And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen." 14:18 "And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians." 14:26 "And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians." 14:31 Moses and the people sing praises to their murderous god. 15:1-19 "The Lord is a man of war." Indeed, judging from his acts in the Old Testament, he is a vicious warlike monster. 15:3 God's right hand dashes people in pieces. 15:6 "For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them." 15:19 "Horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea." 15:21 If you do what God says, he won't send his diseases on you (like he did to the Egyptians). But otherwise.... 15:26 Joshua, with God's approval, kills the Amalekites "with the edge of the sword." 17:13 "I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven." 17:14 "The Lord has sworn [God swears!] that the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation." 17:14-16 Any person or animal that touches Mt. Sinai shall be stoned to death or "shot through." 19:12-13 Like the great and powerful Wizard of Oz, nobody can see God and live. 19:21 God gives instructions for killing and burning animals. He says that if we will make such "burnt offerings," he will bless us for it. What kind of mind would be pleased by the killing and burning of innocent animals? 20:24 A child who hits or curses his parents must be executed. 21:15, 17 An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. 21:24-25 If an ox gores someone, "then the ox shall surely be stoned." 21:28 If an ox gores someone due to the negligence of its owner, then "the ox shall be stoned, and his owner shall be put to death.". 21:29 If an ox gores a slave, the owner of the ox must pay the owner of the slave 30 shekels of silver, and "the ox shall be stoned." 21:32 "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." Thousands of innocent women have suffered excruciating deaths because of this verse. 22:18 "Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death." Is it really necessary to kill such people? Couldn't we just send them to counseling or something? 22:19 "He who sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed." If this commandment is obeyed, then the four billion people who do not believe in the biblical god must be killed. 22:20 If you make God angry enough, he will kill you and your family with his own sword. 22:24 "The firstborn of thy sons thou shalt give unto me." (As a burnt offering?) 22:29 God promises to "send his fear before the Israelites" and to kill everyone that they encounter when they enter the promised land. 23:27 Moses has some animals killed and their dead bodies burned for God. Then he sprinkles their blood on the altar and on the people. This makes God happy. 24:5-8 Get some animals, kill them, chop up their bodies, wave body parts in the air, burn the carcasses, and sprinkle the blood all around -- in precisely the way God tells you. It may well make you sick, but it makes God feel good. 29:11-37 Have your killed and offered your bullock for a sin offering today? How about the two lambs you are supposed to offer each day? 29:36-39 Wash up or die. 30:20-21 Whoever puts holy oil on a stranger shall be "cut off from his people." 30:33 Those who break the Sabbath are to be executed. 31:14 God asks to be left alone so that his "wrath may wax hot" and he can "consume them. 32:10 Moses burned the golden calf, ground it into powder, and then forced it down the throats of all the people. 32:20 God orders the sons of Levi (Moses, Aaron, and the other members of their tribe that were "on the Lord's side") to kill "every man his neighbor." "And there fell of the people that day about 3000 men." 32:27-28 "Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book." 32:33 But God wasn't satisfied with the slaughter of the 3000, so he killed some more people with a plague. 32:35 If you can't redeem him, then just "break his neck." Hey, it's all for the glory of God. 34:20 Whoever works, or even kindles a fire, on the Sabbath "shall be put to death." 35:2-3 http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/ex/cr_list.html To commemorate the divine massacre of the Egyptian children, Moses instructs the Israelites to "sacrifice to the Lord all that openeth the matrix" -- all the males, that is. God has no use for dead, burnt female bodies. 13:2, 13:12-15 Moses, like a coach giving instructions to the team before the big game, tells the men to "come not at your wives" before he goes up to Mt. Sinai. 19:15 "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, ... nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor's." In the Bible, women are the property of men; they are his possessions -- like an ox or an ass. 20:17 God explains how to go about selling your daughter -- and what to do if she fails to please her new master. 21:7 God's instructions for taking a second wife. 21:10 If you "entice" an "unmarried maid" to "lie" with you, then you must marry her, unless the father refuses to give her to you, in which case you must pay him the going price for virgins. 22:16 "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." Thousands of innocent women have suffered excruciating deaths because of this verse. 22:18 Three times a year God wants to see all of the males. The females he never wants to see. 23:17 "Their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods." God always blames the women; it is they who "go a whoring" and then "make" the men "go a whoring." 34:16 "Thrice in the year shall all your men children appear before the Lord." But what about the "women children"? Don't they ever get to appear before the Lord? 34:23 http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/ex/wom_list.html I could go on but I won't bother as the above is only from two books of the Bible and quite frankly you can go look for yourself as I'm bored of cutting & pasting. Quite simply there is nothing meritus about your post which is simply written to incite religious hatred. There is nothing 'American' about hating people of other faiths or races. I suggest you go away and think about booking onto a course to learn about what it means to be an American and about the Ameican constitution. According to your effort here, it would appear that all the power is on the side of Team Judeo-Christian. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  4. Yesterday I was visiting my stepson and his family. They have a devout Muslim family as neighbors on their block. My stepson asked his Muslim neighbor what he thought and felt about the NYC Mosque at Ground Zero. His neighbor's reply was he believed it was an insensitive decision and it should be constructed elsewhere in the city. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  5. You are in deep Liberal territory here. Andy9o8 is one of the resident L attorneys. His primary function is to serve as Judge of Posts. I've not seen your prior posts. I assume you are a Conservative/Libertarian Texan. That in and of itself qualifies you as a flame magnet. Now, if you really want to test your deflection shield, declare you are also a Southern Christian. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  6. Or maybe the "wacko" (I'm curious how that would be defined in your neighborhood) will respond to the harassment by using his Second Amendment rights to protect his right to live in his own dwelling, and someone will wind up getting shot. Attaboy, neighbor. Harassment, who said anything about harassment? Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

  7. And you know nothing about him, yet assume much. Incorrect. His meaning is either plain by his postings or he is a fabulous skilled troll. I suspect he is a man. Of his word as written and as such there is no assuming anything other than what he posts. He on the other hand presumes that all veterans nod in agreement with his viewpoint and reasoning. Fact is veterans are individuals like everyone else and Not subject to the group think view point expresses when he pretends he speaks for all of us. OK, let's have a review. The following is a complete quote of my first post to you. Show me where I was in error. You seem tense. I guess your military service was not a pleasant time and you did not make close friends in your unit. At any rate, thank you for your service. I don't suppose I'll be seeing you at veteran organizations or gatherings. Also, you, and others as I have noted, missed the point of the OP at the start. My reply First Error, your first post to me was #32: Fundamental Error: The assumption that because I disagree with you I've never served, or that my service is some how 'lacking' because I didnt get the same 'message' from it that you did. Fact is, military service ALONE, doesn't not make one a hero, some of the worst dirtbags in history have been military veterans, and more often than not those who claim 'glory' in their military service are some of the worst offenders. WHAT YOU DO TODAY, not what job you have, not what job you HAD, not what job you personally define your life as(as many former veterans do, relying on past 'glory' they rarely earned personally), and certainly not (as you've claimed often as recently in this thread) what flag you wore on your sleeve or fly over your house, is what matters. Yesterday is over, tomorrow is a whisper that may never appear, what did you do TODAY to prove your worth? Right here, right now, not gathering together to pat each other on the back and tell 'there I was stories' is the only thing that makes a difference at all. Honoring the dead has its place, and those who would use the death of another to make a political statement are stealing oxygen from anyone with a shred of honor and dignity, but perhaps doing more to prevent the lives of the deceased from being thrown away in useless political conflict in the first place would be a better use of your time. Oh wait, I forget, that requires actual action NOW to shape tomorrow, instead of borrowing reflected glory from the sacrifice already made. Your entire attitude is 'in error', the sword of the US Military is being wasted to no good cause by the politicians who wield it, and all you do is show up after the fact. I concede that I missed the proper post number. However, I see no further error. You seem tense. You appear less than pleased with the military. You express a certain apathy or maybe disdain for the KIA. You make no reference to involvement with veterans organizations. Again, thank you for your service. Have a nice day.

  8. Ron... that's so off the wall bullshit and paranoid you either have to be joking or should be seeking help from a mental health professional. Seriously. I refer you to my post #22.

  9. Romans 13 Be Subject to Government 1Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. I'm surprised you have never seen this before. People who join the military are subject to the governing authority. If the government declares an enemy and orders me to kill him, I am obligated to obey. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  10. I said there was too much liberty of the freedom. Yeah, and then you said liberty meant the freedom to do right. So you think that your country allows people to do too much stuff that's right through their religion. Which is pretty wierd. It's an American thing.

  12. That's not an answer. You've just repeated what the limits are, not what you think they should be. I think they should be what I said they are. Definitely in negative utils now. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  13. a) It's the same thing. b) "Unfortunately, in this country we have allowed too much liberty with the freedom of religion." Bollocks. You can't just redefine language whenever you feel like it. But it's allowed. They're allowed to believe it under freedom of religion and they're allowed to say it under freedom of speech. If you think the limits should fall short of that, where do you think they should fall? Law enforcement stops it at the property line. They are confined to the public right of way. The PGR provides a human wall of patriotic separation and dignity. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

  14. Diminishing returns here same as there. My point started with the word liberty. You shifted to freedom to maintain argument. Liberty is the freedom to do what is right, not the right to do what is wrong. When a church pickets and demonstrates at the funeral of a fallen warrior, telling his family and friends he deserved to die, that is wrong.

  16. In practice, it's really no difference at all. If any, the difference is purely semantic: not what a president is, but what you prefer him NOT to be: anything that is openly and expressly not Christian. OK, I'll own that. It still don't mean squat. Ok. Now what on earth did your "Hitler card" mean? It meant that the use of information and logic does not necessarily mean good leadership. That was ryoder's position statement. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  17. It will stop when the one world government, one world religion is established. It is approaching. One clue for its arrival will be when you carry all your biometric data as an implant on your hand or forehead. No. Where do you think it should stop? Well, I guess at the property line on the other side of my neighbors. On the other side of your neighbours? So when you said "Unfortunately, in this country we have allowed too much liberty with the freedom of religion." you meant that you don't want your neighbours to be able to practice their own religion? I live in the South. Down here we stick together. I know you are going to require further explanation. My neighbors and I have like values. If some wacko buys property next to one of them they will be upset. I will join them and be upset also. We will likely begin to behave in attitude and manner that will indicate to the wacko that he would probably be happier if he lived somewhere else. We would stay within the limits of the law but the message would be delivered and understood. Now the wacko can stay and be miserable or move.

It still don't mean squat. Sure it does. It means you're one of many who feel that anyone of a religion other than Christianity should not be president. I don't know how far you can go with this line of reasoning. I have my preferences and ONE vote. If my ONE vote meant squat we would have different elected officials.

  19. No offense but people who view military actions like this piss me off including the whiny 21 year old who is in "A" school in Virginia and has absolutely no idea how the military works. The whole point of this story is something that happens in the military on a very routine basis and has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that the band was Christian and there was no punishment. The way this is normally done is a command will come up with something for soldiers/sailors/airmen etc.. To do During duty hours that is fun and gives them a break. But if you decide you do not want to participate in that you do something constructive(usually still work). The fact that these kids were in school means that since they have no job other than learning, guess what their other job is.....you guessed right cleaning. So bottom line is you have some little kid who thought he could get some free time off because he didn't want to go to the Christian event (I don't blame him for that I personally would have opted out of that myself) and when he found out that he was getting "punished" instead he threw a temper tantrum and went straight to the media with it. He is actually lucky he is not actually being punished for jumping straight to the media about something so trivial without going through a public affairs officer beforehand. With all that being said there are a few facts anyone in the military truly needs to understand...freedom comes with a price and sacrifice and in serving your country you sacrifice many of those freedoms that you fight to defend. I have proudly served my country for the last 7 years and will continue to do so knowing these facts. Thank you for your service and your statement.

  22. On target. It is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior that counts, not religion. Or the choice to not have one. Of course I'm just being Constitutional, now back to your imposed Christianity. There is no such thing as imposed Christianity according to the Holy Bible. There is only repentance and free will choice. Right, but in application and from you saying a president must be Christian to be considered you are saying that as you want him to rule/preside from the bible, hence impose Christianity down our fucking throats. This concept violates the 1st. Amazing how neo-cons hide the constitution some times, wave it vigorously others. I did not say a president must be Christian. Oh, I see, but you did write: On target. It is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior that counts, not religion. So you want a president who has a personal relationship with Jebus, but who is not necessarily a Christian. Now I'm really confused. No, I prefer that he be a professing Christian with the fruit of his behavior to back it up. That is much different from saying, "he must be a Christian." Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  23. Riiiiight. Hey do us a favor and list all of the presidents you voted for over the years. I have done this, but see, you won't because we will all be seeing red amidst you claiming not to belong to any party. Riiiight, we get ya. I used to be a member of the Republican Party. Two years ago I resigned and am now No Party Affiliation. Right, so you're an older gentleman with 40 years voting as a Republican, now you're a registered independent voting as a Republican; that clears it up. What caused you to resign, McCain too much a turd for you? Symbolism? But you still vote R down theline, let's be real. And a vote for L is still a vote for R. You don't know who I voted for and it is not any of your business. I resigned because there were too many Republican fags in political prominence. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  24. On target. It is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior that counts, not religion. Or the choice to not have one. Of course I'm just being Constitutional, now back to your imposed Christianity. There is no such thing as imposed Christianity according to the Holy Bible. There is only repentance and free will choice. Right, but in application and from you saying a president must be Christian to be considered you are saying that as you want him to rule/preside from the bible, hence impose Christianity down our fucking throats. This concept violates the 1st. Amazing how neo-cons hide the constitution some times, wave it vigorously others. I did not say a president must be Christian. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
