Basic Black
At my old home
the one I lost
my clothes closet
had a light in it
that came on
when you opened the door.
In my new place
the one that I haunt
a damned soul
you need to flip a switch
to light the closet.
So I stand every morning
looking into a dark place
not able to tell
if the shirt is black
or blue or green.
Do you understand
what this means?
Do you?

You know I know what it means all too well. <33
You mean you didn't hear it here first?
Rodak:
This is off topic, but I wanted to bring something out regarding your recent conversation on Vox Nova's “Religulous Biblical Literalists” post. By the way, if you don't care for this kind of “spillover” conversation, please let me know, and I'll refrain from it in the future.
In the meantime, if you allow it:
Your interlocutor brought the 1976 book “Jesus the Christ” by Walter Cardinal Kasper into the conversation. What hasn't been made clear, is that in the section titled “Jesus's Miracles”, he makes the game changing disclaimer that his theories regarding these miracles are “tentative”, and are in the nature of a “possible theological theory”. Additionally, he level-headedly follows this up by saying that an adequate theory of these miracles “in large part is still an ideal”.
Thus, we have a savvy and wise Cardinal who knows when he's labouring in the field of speculation, and makes this absolutely clear to his more impressionable, or ideological, readers. They should take him at his word.
In my opinion, the current taste for the deconstruction of miracles recorded in both Testaments will not withstand the test of time. Even if something like the story of Jonah will conclusively be shown to reside in the realm of myth, there will remain a large body of miracles reminding us of Who truly designed and possess the laws of nature. That, to “modern man”, may be a difficult thing to accept.

Better to address these things there. I will say here that the Creator once having established the laws of nature, including the laws of physics and biology, can't then change them without changing Himself. I'm not saying that can't happen. But it does run contrary to teaching that God is eternally unchanging. Feel free to respond either via email, or back at V-N.
Thanks.
