Words

I came across a quote on fb this morning:

The function of Theology? The recitation of the incomprehensible by the unspeakable to pick the pockets of the unthinking.~ Robert Anton Wilson

Not so sure I would use the ‘unspeakable’, I might prefer to put it this way:

The function of Theology? The recitation of the incomprehensible by those with dictionary diarrhoea to pick the pockets of the unthinking.

After all, if one was incapable of expressing in words, how could they recite the incomprehensible?

      “How many hours are there in a mile? Is yellow square or round? Probably half the questions we ask-half our great theological and metaphysical problems-are like that.”
      ― C.S. Lewis

    Coming from a church with a lay clergy that isn’t paid for their service, I have to say that what I hear at church is very inspiring. What I read in the scriptures is also very inspiring. My life is better because of it. I highly recommend my religion. 😉 (LDS)
