Wow. First a quintessence, now a logos. I'm starting to feel ignorant. What ARE these things?

I've always thought that cooking a good meal for a bunch of hungry people is as close as I need to come to religious experience. Maybe, since it seems we must talk about religion, we should talk about that.

For a mob last weekend (which included vegetarians) I concocted a sauce of wild mushrooms simmered in butter with a little fresh sage, stirred into slightly sour buffalo-milk yogurt and warmed (NOT boiled). Served it over homemade spinach fettucine, with a monumental salad and a soup of fresh garden tomatoes with a fistful of fresh basil, baked my own sourdough caraway bread to go along.

Worth any quantity of quintelogos, in my view. I think if we could contrive to blanket the planet with the smell in my kitchen that afternoon, we might be able to achieve world peace.

How's that for changing the subject? Bet it doesn't work.

I happen to know a Logo, so I asked him. He blushed. They appreciate all the attention, but "naw, we didn't do that. We try to keep some class in our stuff". Tehre you have it, straight from the keyboard of an eyewitness to a Logo.
(He had a killer suit. Sold out, he did, and is now a Corporate Logo.)

JF,

Seems like it would have been more straightforward for Jesus to write something himself. Anyone can claim to speak the words of God, and countless have. However, the difference between the original words of an author (Jesus or Caesar), and hearsay, is something a little more objective. You put a lot of faith in the oral tradition. Still, we do have the option of evaluating the words on their own merit, if we wish to apply our minds to such a task.
