That the level of discussion and the proportion of halfway serious religious talk has not risen.

Did I expect it?

Anyway, popped in to say: It's Friday - Sunday's coming.

Listen to it of you can find it - it is worth it.

Don't let the bunnies bite.

If a human being rose from the dead after three whole days, his brain would be rotted out.

My first thought was the old saying,"I see said the blind man to his deaf daughter in the dark room".

Intriguing - my mother from whom to me never went beyond the blind man. Your fuller version is incredibly apropos. Thankee.

If he's successfully come back from the dead, I think that wouldn't be an issue.

Jesus wasn't suppose to be dead for three whole days- he died on Friday evening and wasn't in his tomb on Sunday morning.

Many variations:

"I see," said the blind man. "You lie," said the dumb man. "Quiet!" said the deaf man.

"So I see", said the blind carpenter as he picked up his hammer and saw.

"I see", said the blind man to his deaf wife as he picked up his hammer and saw.

"I see", said the blind boy to his elderly deaf daughter over the broken telephone.

"I see", said the blind man to his deaf wife as their dog with no legs got up and ran away. Then he spit into the wind and said, "It all comes back to me now."

And the old school yard ditty,

"Early one morning,late one night,two dead boys got up to fight.The deaf policeman heard the noise and came and shot those two dead boys.If you don't believe my stories true,ask the blind man he saw it too."

Religion should not be given respect anyway, so it would only be for the sake of political correctness to have a serious religious talk with someone who actually adheres to religious nonsense.
