caroljane Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Hello boys. I was just away thinking for a while. Not because anyone made me!!!... I decided to do it all by myself.Mikee, I have no objection to regular religiosex based swearing, it can be quite the art form. SEE, Jonathan, I am not totally prudish, just 90%. In fact Trailer Park Boys is my top favourite show. Big Ricky fan.I am not speaking to Adam. He has bashed Toronto one too many times. We have enough bashers right here in Toronto without foreign intervention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your assessment of LC's vocal skills. That's why I think Halleluia is so good - even when he sings it himself, it stays a great song.

caroljane Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 From Suzanne:And Jesus was a sailor .....etc.Why is it that Leonard Cohen, a very Jewish Jew comprehends Jesus better than most Christians?Ba'al ChatzafHe comprehends with the poet's heart, and "downward bends his burning eye / on mysteries so bright."LC has always been steeped in religion one way or another. And he's a Montrealer. His novel Beautiful Losers centres (if there is a centre) on Catherine Tekakwitha, the first Huron saint.He's a Buddhist now and has to keep touring at his age because his ex manager (female of course) stole all his money."Until the sea shall free them" is the most haunting line for me. Pure Cohen.Contrast Mordecai Richler, who hated his rabbinical rearing and became, as one character says to another in and early novel' "just another goddam Jewish atheist."

New Testament scholars nowadays generally don't believe that Paul wrote the Timothy epistles, and believe that the part in 1 Corinthians is a later interpolation. Otherwise, 'splain me this, why is it that earlier in 1 Corinthians Paul specifies that when women are speaking during a service, they should have their heads covered? Why bother, when later on he says women aren't allowed to speak at all? The scribes must have shipped their manuscripts to Denmark to impart such a rotten smell on them.

We'll never allocate all the intellectual property in either testament with certainty. I'm going by what was written under his name, and stayed written.
