ellauri048.html on line 1078: Given that no one has ever doubted that Tennyson had some sort of "disembodied, spiritualized passion" for Hallam, this conclusion comes as rather a painful anticlimax. Admittedly, Alf named his son Hallam after Hallam, the one who went to Australia. Of course, the fact that members of Tennyson´s family succumbed to madness, alcoholism, and drug addiction already has made some readers aware that, like so many other Victorians, he should be taken down from a pedestal and join the rest of us. But think of the stir if one the greatest poems of the nineteenth century, one which has major influence on poets as different as Whitman and Eliot, turned out to be chiefly a gay lover's lament! (What's wrong with that? There are zillions of others, better yet.) Tän apologian kirjoitti on George P. Landow, Professor of English and the History of Art, (fittingly) from Brown University.
ellauri106.html on line 413: Religion may have given most of these bloodthirsty episodes a badge. It frequently provided a cohesive force, just as human ideas about nationhood and race still do - but it was hardly ever the underlying cause. Admittedly, while organised religion has frequently sanctioned and even blessed such conflicts, giving them some sense of purpose, it has rarely initiated them.
ellauri111.html on line 353: You might wonder what's the diff if you still need to do 3) anyway. Wasn't the point that Christ had already paid our bills? So why can't we just go on and sin, and then go back to step 1)? Admittedly, there is the timing problem, like what the Pope had, when he had to say last of all Amen, and he ended up saying instead, "No, minä..." Jokes aside, but yes, in principle that's the way it works. It is never too late to repent, though there are a few things that are unpardonable, like making fun of the Holy Ghost, and converting to Islam (for some creeds at least).
ellauri502.html on line 108: 3. The Water Analogy (Solid, Liquid, Gas) Think of H₂O (water). The essence (the "what") is H₂O. It can manifest as Ice, Liquid, or Steam. Ice is not Liquid, and Liquid is not Steam. They look different and act differently. If you ask Ice, "Do you know what it feels like to freeze?" the Ice could honestly say, "No, only Water knows that right now. Steam never has a clue, I'm out in the cold. Dad is the H, us two are just two Os." Yet, they are all 100% the exact same substance (H₂O).Admittedly, this simile halts in that water has no soul and can't communicate. Besides there is plasma so it is a quaternity. Jahve's brother Jerry as the missing wheel.
ellauri502.html on line 252: Pitikö Jeesus pekonista? Historiallisesti ja raamatullisesti katsottuna Jeesus ei todennäköisesti koskaan syönyt pekonille vastatavaa sianlihaa. Jeesus syntyi, eli ja kuoli juutalaisena Tooran lain alaisuudessa (Gal. 4:4). Hän noudatti elinaikanaan juutalaisia puhtaussääntöjä (kosher), joissa sika on ehdottomasti kielletty eläin (3. Moos. 11:7). Vaikka hän opetti ruokasäädösten sisäistä merkitystä ja "julisti kaikki ruuat puhtaiksi" (Mark. 7:19), kyseessä oli teologinen opetus siitä, mikä saastuttaa ihmisen sydämen. Käytännön ruokavalion muutos pakanakristittyjen keskuudessa tapahtui vasta hänen kuolemansa ja ylösnousemuksensa jälkeen. So yes, Jesus did say it's okay to eat bacon if you like it (he didn't). He ate other people's cereals on Saturdays, snd took an exprnsive footbath and hair massage rather than gave to the poor. Admittedly, so he wasn't perfect, but he was human.
xxx/ellauri085.html on line 441: And more recently incentive based economics introduced in 2017 is the reason that Americans coming in to 2020 had lower unemployment than all other economics predicted possible, with wages starting to grow rapidly again, and the reason that Americans fared better economically than any other part of the world under the ravages of the COVID pandemic. (Admittedly, it helped a lot that a bigger number of poor shits died of it.)
