What animals do you look after exnos? What's your first name by the way?

My son just asked me if God expects him to believe in Santa. He said they both have white beards.

Ha ha Kay.

Thanks you make me laugh

Thanks, for the compliment, 'Tom'.. And, 'fwiw'.. the following 'link', looks like a promising 'lead'.. As a parallel, point of study.. in understanding, why _od, does Not always 'come-right-out' as it were, in stating that something, is thus-and-thus.. 'B-O-O-R-I-N-G' !! .. Ie. Engaging, our attention, through 'reading' between-the-lines' perhaps, {as in 'parables'}, is the/His, intention!

.. Cheers!

Thank you Ed. I keep almost calling you SA. That was a great quote you showed me the other day. Thank you.

I'm confused about the biblical story of Adam and Eve. The bit about they covered themselves up after the serpent. I wondered if that meant they found about sex then. Sounds like a great thing to me!
Tomtalk
We are so going to get locked Ed! I'm just curious that's all. I don't understand. I'm not making a point.
Tomtalk
You aren't supposed to talk about religion though are you. I'm sorry. I wasn't expressing an opinion really. Just curious about the meaning of the story. About the author's intent.

Hello, again, Tom.. Truth be known.. {as I'm currently seeing things, of course}, Ie. Understanding, the 'pees & cues' <-{phonetic}, of the 'A. & E.' story, is somewhat, counter-intuitively, {to me even!}.. Not, the Most important thing, collectively, to you & I, in this venue - For obvious, chess-site, 'forum-Rule' reasons.

Call me, a philosophically, 'on-the-move' 'heretic' if you want.. But, my very latest discovery, on the Web, {see 'link'}, has just about, metaphorically, 'blown-me' out-of-the-water, if you will _ Re. my previously adopted understandings, of Who exactly, each of us are!

Although, this does Not affect, my views re. who 'JC' was, {relationship wise} - It does in other meta-physical ways, concerning, our 'True' <-{loaded word, there!}, identities! .. Provided, you Don't mind, listening, to a 58 minute, expository, lecture!? ..{well you Could 'listen' to it, in several 'sittings' I suppose}.

.. Anyway.. Here it is.. Uploaded, to 'YouTube' fairly recently, if I remembered, right. - Let's just say.. The 'speaker's testimony, {heard in similar accounts, before.. by other people's testimonies} - Is impossible, to Disprove! .. Cheers ..

Cool Ed. I think that we have to relax. We are respectful!

Mine probably would have asked me if Santa expects him to believe in God. You heretics are all to blame, at least he should think on the Three Wise Men before!

Tomtalk
That's interesting Ed about the story being counter intuitive.

I love that Pulp. I guess Christmas means different things to different people. For some sexy lingerie and for others a day at church giving out food to the needy.

Hmm which would you choose? I need a fragment of a second to think about it.
Tomtalk
I do respect and admire those that give to the needy. I like the biblical saying if you have two coats give one to your neighbour. It would be a better world if we shared.
Tomtalk
Just been out with my son. So he's holding on to me. I'm on a bike and him on skates. I thought doesn't get much more dysfunctional.
Tomtalk
Someone's dog jumped up on me. How rude! They mark your trousers you know!

For me it means days will become longer from then on.

'Tom' .. I'm Not, trying to flatter you.. But, I believe, that the 'dog' was responding to your, above average 'karma'! ..Even, if I suppose, being 'rude' {on the 'dog's part}, is a natural, human reaction/ assessment. o:

Tomtalk
Ah that's a good one Pulp. It's true that these long cold days are tiring and wearing. We need a little sparkle.
