Thomas Hussein's ignorance of religions is absymal
But this should surprise no one. After all, he's admitted "agnostic" and so has no place discussing anyone else's faith.
Pathetic..the simpleton pulls his "knowledge" of Islam off of heretic christian hate sites. Allah only knows where his blather about Christianity comes from
what a froot loop

Setting adapted from Tomás Luis de Victoria
(c. 1548-1611)
POPULE meus, quid feci tibi? aut in quo contristavi te? Responde mihi. Quia eduxi te de terra
Aegypti, parasti crucem salvatori tuo.
Agios o Theos! Sanctus Deus! Agios ischyros! Sanctus fortis! Agios athanatos,
eleison imas. Sanctus immortalis, miserere nobis.
Quia eduxi te per desertum quadraginta annis, et manna cibavi te, et introduxi
in terram satis optimam: parasti crucem salvatori tuo.
Agios o Theos! Sanctus Deus! Agios ischyros! Sanctus fortis! Agios athanatos,
eleison imas. Sanctus immortalis, miserere nobis.
Quid ultra debui facere tibi, et non feci? Ego quidem plantavi te vineam meam
speciosissimam: et tu facta es mihi nimis amara: aceto namque sitim meam potasti:
et lancea perforasti latus salvatori tuo.
Agios o Theos! Sanctus Deus! Agios ischyros! Sanctus fortis! Agios athanatos,
eleison imas. Sanctus immortalis, miserere nobis.
Popule meus, quid feci tibi? aut in quo contristavi te? Responde mihi. (less)
O my people, what have I done to thee? or wherein have I afflicted thee? Answer me.
V. Because I led thee out of the land of Egypt, thou hast prepared a cross for thy Savior.
The two choirs then sing alternately:
O holy God!
O holy God!
O holy strong One!
O holy strong One!
O holy immortal One, have mercy upon us.
O holy immortal One, have mercy upon us.
Two cantors:
Because I led thee out through the desert forty years: and fed thee with manna, and brought thee into a land exceeding good, thou hast prepared a Cross for thy Savior.....29033. jexster - 3/20/2008 8:24:05 PM Good Friday Liturgy: Crux Fidelis, Vexilla Regis, and Agnus Dei

29036. judithathome - 3/26/2008 7:35:05 PM I was just listening to an interview with this reporter about Tibet...it was on NPR, Terry Gross' Fresh Air show; she is always so good. It was rocking along and good questions were being asked and answered and I was really enjoying it. She and the reporter were talking about the Dahli Lama and I stepped out to retrieve the mail from the mail box; I came back in and heard this third person...on tape, as it turned out, not in the studio or on the phone.
This guy is some high-up Christian mucketymuck and he is telling about how when he met the Dahli Lama in person, he conversed with him for a bit about the plight of Tibet and then when he was just about to leave, he confided in the Dahli Lama that though he was a good man and doing a lot for his people, he didn't really know anything about religion because he hadn't accepted Jesus Christ as his savior and the one true God and that he would never be saved and go to heaven unless he did.
I was floored. And it made me realize that THIS is what chaps me so much about Christians...it's all fine and good for them have their faith and to believe and to one day meet up in their heaven for eternity. But they shouldn't presume to denigrate another man's faith simply because he doesn't believe as they do. It's not faith...it's not the truth...it is arrogance. And arrogance is a sin.
29037. thoughtful - 3/26/2008 8:30:06 PM Hah! Have you ever seen the show about wife swapping? I saw it once and in it, they swapped the wives of two xtian families for 2 weeks. The first week the wife is supposed to live by the new family's rules and the 2nd week the family is supposed to live by the new wife's rules. What was interesting was that, though they were both xtian families, one was very fundamentalist evangelical, and the other was more liberal and the father had a couple of degrees in theology. Well the fundamentalist wife had the well-educated liberal father in tears because she was so hurtful to him about, yeah he knows a lot of book learning, but he knows nothing about true xtian ways. She also had no compassion or guilt or any sense of responsibility for having hurt him so badly. Onward xtian soldier.
In the fundamentalist family, rather than have his daughter exposed to the ideas of the liberal mother...about how it was ok for the daughter to consider having career interests (Shocking!!!) he actually took the daughter away from the house and her influences. When the liberal mother showed the kids how brainwashed they were by the father, he had a long talk with the kids explaining to them that he wasn't brainwashing them, but protecting them from outside influences....though he had just admitted to the liberal mother that he was in fact brainwashing them and saw no problem with that. amazing. 29038. judithathome - 3/28/2008 3:10:52 PM I missed that one but I watch that show occasionally. If I see it listed in rerun, I'll definitely watch it.
I love that show exactly for the reasons you mentioned...how everyone goes into it wanting to "share their ways" but usually end up being rigid and dogmatic...the worst was that heavey-set lady called the God Warrior. She was loony. 29039. jexster - 3/28/2008 5:58:48 PM Thomas Merton - the 5 Ways of God Part One
29040. judithathome - 4/5/2008 9:16:47 PM Federal judge in Maryland orders liens against Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church building and the Phelps-Chartered Law office
If the case presided over by U.S. District Court Judge Richard D. Bennett is upheld by an appeals court, the church, at 3701 S.W. 12th, and the office building, at 1414 S.W. Topeka Blvd., could be obtained by the court and sold, with the proceeds being applied toward $5 million in damages Bennett imposed on church members for picketing a military funeral.
How's THAT for good news! 29041. anomie - 4/5/2008 9:57:24 PM As much as I'd like to see these Phelps folks be put of business, I'm a little concerned about the threat to free speech. These news articles never really explain the legal case, so there's probably more to it than "picketing...". I hope so anyway. We shouldn't be sued for just picketing, no matter how stupid the reason. 29042. jexster - 4/11/2008 1:28:31 AM Next thing ya know, they'll be marryin dogs
