Omnipotence : an agency or force of unlimited power
Granddaughter : Grandpa, If “God” can do all things, can “God” make a rock so big that “God” can not lift it?
GrandPa : That’s an excellent question. You mean to say “if ‘God’ can cause millions of folk to be ‘born again,’ can ‘God’ lift them, the body of christ, (founded upon the rock,) from their state of ignorance, remove from them their belief in creationism and instill the truth that we evolved from primates who evolved from something else?
Granddaughter : That was it in a nutshell, thanks for elaborating.
GrandPa : Ministers of ‘the Gospel’ might say that “God can do all things” but is often hindered from the ability to ‘do all things,’ all the time, because of the devil, and that for ‘a time,’ the devil has power.
Granddaughter : How does the devil manifest his power and prevent the children, et al., from understanding that evolution was the tool which was used to create the species homo Sapiens, and not Adam’s rib?
GrandPa : He, the devil, does so with a very clever doctrine. It’s called “inerrancy!”
Granddaughter : So ministers use doctrine from the devil to dumb down their congregations?
GrandPa : Not exactly. There is no devil. I think the doctrine came from the Pope.
Can you dig it?

Ps. I have no qualms about folk sharing what I have written. If it appears that I have plagiarized someone else, my apologies. You may assume that I have read someone I have not, the odds are that I have not, and seek to gain from their insights. I try to use quotes when I am able to remember something, but memory cannot always be trusted and we all have the ability to use the same words to reinvent the mouse trap. Please feel free to reproduce any or all of the nonsense that I have sculpted for your perusal at Pandorr’s Triangle. BS, LK, SE. (Freely I have received and freely I give, though some times I have to purchase a book to gleam it’s contents.
Pps. Dear Hillary,
I see your in quite of a pickle. Were you trying to ping me with the quote “It’s time we move from good words to good works, from sound bite to sound solutions,” or is that the ‘holy spigot’ trying to get me/us to do more? Want to be a leader among men? What about reversing course and helping Israel leave all the occupied territories? We could bless international law too! We don’t want to be left or leave anyone behind.
