HA HA so right! Religion, such a strange invention, what baffles me most is that in this age of information some still cling to it, stupifying! Happy Easter anyway, eat a marshmallow egg!
Sad and true Dave, I agree with the other comments. Haikus, I feel, must also capture the hard layer of the present. Even if, as far as religion is concerned, the past was even worse! As I am reading in the novel "Will" in which Shakespeare speaks about his life and times and that very love-and-kindness practise of disembowelling reserved for the enemies of religion.
Just popping back (late) to respond to your question. I wasn't actually thinking whether Williams should/not apologise. He's entitled to a view but the Anglican church has enough of its own problems without pointing the finger.
Clever, Dave.
ReplyDeleteHope split like atoms
ReplyDeletedoes cause war. You're right, David -
It all seems so sad.
How true Dave and how sad that it is so true - Happy Easter
ReplyDeleteHi Dave,
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you.
Rowan Williams has apologised now - so all is well with the world!
So wise, so profound ............
ReplyDeleteSadly altogether too true Dave

I wish it were not so true!
ReplyDeleteBlessed be.
great work over the past few posts; and this one is sublime!

ReplyDeleteThanks everyone, there was more un
unanimity on this one than I had expected.
Hope you all had - are having - a great Easter break.

ReplyDeleteI'm not sure he should have apologised - or is that what you meant?

I had "Will" down as my next read. I'm not sure you haven't put me off!
