"In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, Amen."

 

The title of this post demands three questions.

1) Is the third member of this trinity (the bird) male or female? The question is answered by the final word that could be expressed as 'Ah, men'.

2) Should that third member be called 'Holy Ghost' or 'Holy Spirit'. Here is an explanation that I read. "The names refer to the same entity, the third person of the Trinity in Christianity, but the terminology differs due to translation history and the evolving meaning of the word 'ghost'. 'Holy Ghost' was used in older translations like the King James version. In Elizabethan English 'ghost' was a valid translation for an immaterial being. However, modern English increasingly associates 'ghost' with the spirit of a dead person, even an evil one, leading most contemporary translations and usage to prefer 'Holy Spirit'." Okay, I'm going to go with Holy Ghost.

3) God the Father has presumably been around forever, but what about God the Son? Hey, let's not even try to work out where the bird came from, or why he's a bird, right now. In the time that humans have studied what they call The Blessed Trinity no one has ever had trouble with the words Father and Son. If these terms are accurate, they imply that God the Son is at least around fourteen years younger than God the Father. Okay, that's not a long period when we talk about eternity, but it does mean that 'the Son' was not there at the very beginning. Yes, yes, I know he has been around for most of the time, but not all of it. It seems that God the Father somehow brought him into existence. Maybe it was a lot, lot longer than fourteen years? Don't worry about looking for a Mrs. God. God the Father, for all we know, may contain female parts too and could have fucked himself to make it happen. Though, if this hypothesis is true, the Catholic Church may want to write off the sin of masturbation.

Eternity is a very long time. A VERY long time. According to the Holy Bible, God (the Father) made man in his own image. He obviously had to be more creative with woman because there don't appear to have been any around (I think angels were sexless - though the Bible evidently describes them as men). Hey, I think he made a good job there (with those women)! Before he made man, he made beings called angels. Man was his second choice. Before all of this started, for an unimaginable time, there were just the three of them - two men and a bird. Maybe God the Father did make some other creatures before he got around to making angels, maybe he didn't. He really stuffed up on one angel who evidently tried to defeat him in a fight. This guy angel was called Lucifer. As punishment, when he was beaten in the fight, his name was changed to Satan. He was also referred to as The Devil. Satan's name lives on and he is very well known. He gets around to tempt Christians, and he can even change into a snake. Satan was obviously left with some special powers, almost like God the Father wanted him around. Like he had a purpose to serve. Hey, it was Satan who tempted Eve and got Original Sin given to the rest of us. The only solution God the Father could see to this problem was to have God the Son nailed up to a cross. Maybe he should have had the humility to ask for help? Maybe he was just not designed to be a good father?

That'll do for today.

Ciao tutti.
