Y'notice how instantaneous "forgiveness" plays in the 21st Century.

Gone is repentance, beyond a few moments of meditation

to confirm "forgiveness". Remember Newt.

I want to bring back the hair shirt.

I just went and searched online for a hair shirt.

Only jokes and reference art.

You just can't find a hair shirt today.

REPENT !

before, forgiveness

An Ark gap.

This is the worst thing since the missile gap

http://news.yahoo.com/video/noahs-ark-r ... 00117.html

"According to an article published at NewsSky.com, Johan Huibers massive undertaking is a result of a dream he had that Holland was going to be flooded.

Huibers built his ark using the ancient measurements described in the Bible. The ark is 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide and 30 cubits high. One cubit equals the length of a man's arm from his elbow to his fingertips, so the ark is more than 450 feet in length. It took Huibers and his team of 5 helpers more than four years to complete the project.

Unlike the Noah's Ark theme park planned for construction in the United States, Huibers' ark is actually seaworthy and he and his team had planned to sail it to the London Olympics. However, since the boat is made entirely of wood they weren't able to pass fire safety inspections in time."

A real Ark gap. How could American Christian's let this happen.

I can see the commercial on TV; a slightly grizzled, grey maned lion speaking into the camera, "I don't always eat Christians, but when I do ..."

You need to break up long pig into age groups, like veal, calf and beef in cattle. For humans it would probably break up into infant, (equivalent to veal) adolescent , teen ager, and adult. Infants and adolescents would certainly be tender enough to grill or fry, particularly the modern well fatted ones, but it is hardly fair to consider foodstuff that young to be actively Christian. At most they have a pale reflections of their parents faith, so they haven't developed any real Christian flavor yet. So, of necessity, we are left with teenagers and adults. Now a teenager can certainly be good eating, particularly if you stick with the tender cuts of the loin and rib, but by that age they are already beginning to get tough, and most of the other cuts are going to have to be cooked long and slow to render them tender and succulent. And adults are even more so, though some of the very obese ones, after trimming and rendering all the excess grease, can be quite tender and tasty, as the obesity restricts movement as well as any pork containment pen around. Of course females tend to be more tender and less gamy than males, (sad we have no program to castrate the young to improve the meat like cattle and chickens.) And I must warn you about long pig offal. Hannibal Lector, notwithstanding, human liver in the very polluted 21st century tends to be way to strong tasting to be edible. Best stick to muscle meats.

River, Uncle Flo, Jesus and I are all to damn old to eat

At least until we put our teeth in, but in Mac's case he stays with soft foods.

This guy wants a big State subsidy in the form of property tax cuts for a couple decades because the "ark" will create jobs in the area.

That's a true-blue, red-blooded, American Republican

I am still looking for a hair shirt to help my penance, when I need one.

This is the best I could find so far, and they have toys too

http://www.cilice.co.uk/hairshirts.php

What they call a "hair shirt" is sack cloth.

I thought sack cloth was what you got when you were not in a period of penance.

Can anyone steer me to an honest hair shirt?

Not alpaca hair either.

As I read on, it seems any rough cloth will suffice. I wanted a real, hair shirt. Link appreciated.

REPENT REPENT REPENT

Give some money to the next charity/begger y'see.

I repent with sash cloth and axes. --FLO--

Repentence is pleasing to God;

therefore, rather than avoiding occasions of sin, we should seek opportunities to sin, for when we sin more, we can repent more and so be more pleasing to God.
