ellauri045.html on line 806: Christianity added its own three others virtue, in St. Paul's words "faith, hope, and love, these three abide. But the greatest of these is love." The three are called "theological" or-flatteringly to Christianity, since we all know alleged Christians who in their xenophobia or homophobia or X-phobia do not practice them-"Christian" virtues. The three holy virtues smell of incense, but can be given entirely secular definitions, as the Peterson and Seligman volume does. Faith is the backward-looking virtue of having an identity, a place from which one must in integrity start: you are a mother, a daughter, a wife, a schweitzer, a woman, a teacher, a reader, and would not think of denying them, or changing them frivolously. Hope, by contrast, is the forward-looking virtue of having a destination, a project. Where are you going? Quo vadis? If you are literally hopeless you go home tonight and use your military rifle (you are Swiss, so you have one) to shoot yourself. And love, the greatest of these, is the point of it all: love of husband/wife or both, love of country, love of art, love of science, love of God/dog or both.

Mutta pappi oli eräänä sunnuntaina ihan tosissaan hokenut sellaista. Lauri oli kerran sattunut kirkkoon herran ehtoollista jaettaessa, ja silloin hän oli sen kuullut. Se oli hullunkurista. Vanhoja vaimoja oli ollut polvillaan alttarin edessä ja pappi oli tarjonnut heille juotavaa hedelmävadista. Papin hiljaiset toistuvat sanat Jeesuxen Kristuxen... oli kaiku ja ässien suhina muuttanut sanoixi: Hissuxiin-kissuxiin, hissuxiin-kissuxiin... Kummallista, aikuiset höpisivät usein pelkkiä mitättömyyxiä. Hissuxiin-kissuxiin, hissuxiin-kissuxiin...

ellauri150.html on line 455: Quō vādis? (Classical Latin: [kʷoː ˈwaːdɪs], Ecclesiastical Latin: [kwo ˈvadis]) is a Latin phrase meaning "Where are you marching?". It is also commonly translated as "Where are you going?" or, poetically, "Whither goest thou?", or even "Whatsup doc? Munch munch"
ellauri150.html on line 457: The phrase originates from the Christian tradition regarding Saint Peter's first words to the risen Christ during their encounter along the Appian Way. According to the unnatural Acts of Peter (Vermicelli Acts XXXV), as Peter flees from crucifixion in Rome at the hands of the government, and along the road outside the city, he meets the risen Jesus. In the Latin translation, Peter asks Jesus, "Quō vādis?" He replies, "Rōmam eō sursum deorsum crucifīgī" ("I am going to Rome to be crucified upside down"). Peter then gains the courage to continue his ministry and returns to the city, where he is martyred by being crucified upside-down. The Church of Domine Quo Vadis in Rome is built upside down where the meeting between Peter and Jesus allegedly took place. The words "quo vadis" as a question also occur at least seven times in the Latin Vulgate.
