Perhaps the most repulsive lyrics in all of Christian gospel music


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
SONS OF GOD (popularized by gay Catholic Ray Repp from 1966 onward)
 
Sons of God: Hear His Holy word,
Gather around the table of the Lord
Eat His Body, drink His Blood
And we'll sing a song of love

Allelu, allelu, allelu, alleluia. 
 
-- James Thiem, OSB

Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into all the winds.
 
-- Ezekiel 5:10

A clown traverses the stage of the world, entertaining by pretending


With a grave look, in this odd equipage,
The clownish mimick traverses the stage.

Lent is the PERFECT time for NOOM



Rod Dreher dines out on many enthusiasms, the latest of which is Hungarian nationalism

 It's gotten so bad he literally had to go on a diet recently to lose some of his many accumulated pounds, but he's not letting that stop him from luxuriating abroad this spring.

Make sure to buy his next book to support his sumptuous Christian lifestyle.

 


 


Clown Rod Dreher gets a Christian tattoo

 LARPing grifters, both of them.

When there is no balm in Gilead, sleep


Sleep, that knits up the ravell'd sleeve of care;
The birth of each day's life, sore labour's bath,
Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course,
Chief nourisher in life's feast.

-- William Shakespeare, Macbeth

Excess is greatness' own worst enemy


He must be no great eater, drinker, sleeper;
no gamester, wencher, fopp.
He must discipline his senses, and exert his mind.
Every worthy undertaking, requires both.
 
-- Nehemiah Grew (1641-1712), Cosmologia sacra, Book II, Chapter VII, Of Virtue, 39.

When the Irish fancied themselves Spanish


Of all nations under heaven, the Spaniard is the most mingled, and most uncertain. Wherefore, most foolishly do the Irish think to ennoble themselves, by wresting their ancientry from the Spaniard, who is unable to derive himself from any in certain.

-- Edmund Spenser

Trinitite, a creation of the Trinity test



And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that
had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. 

-- Revelation 15:2

The Italians were first in the higher learning of the Renaissance


The Italians have carried away the bell from all other nations, as may appear both by their books and works.

-- George Hakewill (1578-1649)

The belief of fools and wise men


 Superstitious prophecies are not only the belief of fools, but the talk sometimes of wise men.

-- Francis Bacon

The light of day deceives us


Paint, patches, jewels laid aside,
At night astronomers agree,
The evening has the day bely'd,
And Phillis is some forty-three.

Passion has a way of suddenly appearing and blowing one off course

18th century compass card

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
On life's vast ocean diversly we sail;
Reason the card, but passion is the gale.

-- Alexander Pope
