Sometimes I stumble across a snippet of rhetoric that is so awesome that I feel compelled to post it here.
Here's John Calvin (who is simultaneously one of the most misunderstood and one of the most brilliant people to ever have lived) on the second commandment:
Wherefore, in general, he calls us entirely away from the carnal frivolous observances which our stupid minds are wont to devise after forming some gross idea of the divine nature...
That cracked me up. Maybe someone could pass it over to Neale Donald Walsh or those televangelists who sell water that'll make you rich.
