I live here. I know that the churches, of whatever denomination, have no political influence whatever. In fact, they have almost no public presence at all. Nor do they take stands against anything or even discuss anything. This is church pancake breakfast and gospel hootenanny country.

The closest they come to a public presence of any sort is on the Saturday Faith page. of the seven or eight clergy who write sermonettes for it, almost all are either Baptist or independent. The one exception is the Chaplain at UNB who, in his only appearance on the page has been the only one who seems intelligent. He's mainstream (Presbyterian, i think.)

I think racism has its origins as excuse for treating people exploitively. they are different from us. Therefore, they are racially inferior. Therefore, we can, without fault, kill them, brutalize them, steal their resources........ And there is a parallel to that in class structure. The very rich can abuse the rest of us because they are superior to us, and more energetic. And we are lazy. And they work hard.......
 
So subjective ... the perspective that everyone is different than us ... and thus should be exploited!

Does this place the subjective in the minority of the objectively out there of out of it? Like subjectivity to the surroundings ... just gone!

Leaves room for radical relations ... sects? Something to etude in multiplex to see if it can cause ad continuum ... like Tamar things in husbandry ... providing points to be adequately shaped ... a perspective of old house maids! Originates from an old Greek tradition dreamt up by Psyche' people ... a flighty thinking groupie ...

Sort of reminds me of RIFTS, or RIPP elles in time ... void domains?

Would these look different from a far vector, or tensor state of imaginary Ankh?
 
Is a saint ed tensor like an ankh St ... that in translation to English with the "k" ="g" takes on certain angst?

Substitutionary letter men ... like transitory oliiph arts ...

Did you know that oliphins are like fatty acids and cholesterol ... necessary in new rael tissue ... where thoughts can be railroaded by emotional blasts ... thus they go round ... creating environmental busts ... greensleeve effects?
 
Then emotional effects penetrate mental territory ... until they are stilled ... by soulful con flicts ... battle of sects ... associated with String Theory as they go on and on ... a human Eire! Not in the least divine but multiversal ... as piles are a'crude ... of word that is ...

But many do not see ID creating the Holy Un Scene ... for the amuse ment of them that aren't or otherwise manifest projections ... pede's hanging in the temple of psyche? This be the roué stir ... of profound caldron of mental stress!
 
Kinda gets the somnolent going ... sometimes not ... thus that biblical thing about testing all things ...

So in essence or spirit ... we're Guiana pigs ... all that is out there is trying to filter out the Ayres ... mostly Aries things ... suffering gassy rules of kinesis ... but fugal! Thus fugacity to a' muse the airs ... in the production of Levite airs ... haute couture in the Mid East?
 
These can be agitated from both NDs ... east and west! And thus they are just because Murphy stated it is possible!

Tis a Celtic Roué ... only hue monos would do it ... single minded people without Ba lanced parts! Speared souls ... a delight of that Shakespearean mind that is yet undefined !

Then I'll put my first hand experience up against your first hand experience.

We were both born in NB. Both moved to other provinces. You visit NB most summers. I moved back to NB forty years ago and have lived here ever since.

I live in the capital and most central city. My closest neighbour and friend attends the near by Baptist church and keeps me somewhat up-to-date about it - as well as the large Baptist churches downtown. My other close neighbour is RC. I won't deny that the Catholics are quite strong, especially in the traditionally Acadian areas of the province. But I would definite say that the Baptists are more numerous, with more churches and larger numbers of people identifying as Baptist than the UCC.

The other strong denomination here is Pentecostal and/or independent. In recent years a group that started calling themselves the Cornerstone Church but who now call themselves Christ Central Church is growing by leaps and bounds.

But we are discussing RC, UCC and Baptist. And there are at least 20 Baptist churches vs 12 UCC and 10 RC in the Greater Fredericton Area (that is the area covered by the phone book.
I don't know about Bathurst. It is in a different Presbytery. I believe it has one UCC in the city and a few along the shore. Any Baptists in that area? Since Bathurst is approximately 50% French, my guess is that there are more RC churches.
 
Jae,
How stoic are you to be rigid in belief of things you are erroneously impressed with as truth ...

You say you used to live here ... blindly? Time for an apostolic event ... wake up man ...

We all have to resist this urge.......

Graeme - I wish you wouldn't make such blanket statements. And I invite you to visit our church in Fredericton. Sit in on some of our discussions. Look at some of our activities. Take a walk through the UNB woodlot with one of our social action people and listen to her talk about letter-writing and knocking on the doors of Members of Parliament and protesting the rape of that woodlot and watershed. Join our Access to Justice group. Find out some of our concerns about fracking, about mining in the Philipines, about water rights - not just in our own province but around the world. We may not have a lot of influence, but it is not because we do not take stands or even discuss anything.
 
Just accept it as an abstract ... altruism .. beyond mortal imagination?

Thus Heis Tory goes on as fix ...

Elusive energies blow right thro' ID ... like it was a void ... nut'n ...
 
Does that rate as an ethereal domain like a mortal overcome with emotions? Mnemonic breeze of LG Kings pneumatics ... the breath of a bust of something wrought ... of foggy idealism?

One must have hope but not give up on observation in the light of many Dais'd sorts ... quite akin to a field of Daffy'd Isles ...

I don't know. It worked wonders for Colbert's career. It makes great satire.

Truthiness worked wonders for Senator Plett ..... not so much for me.....
When the person in a position of power uses truthiness to define and defend their point of view and the resulting action then the satire is not quite so entertaining.
Ah well ..... such a beast this truthiness is...
 
I don't know that truthiness worked for Senator Plett. Being a pal of the PM sure did. As it did briefly for Duffy, Wallin, Brazeau and the like.

Senator Plett's truthiness cost us the passing of Bill C 279. That bill would have added gender identity and gender expression to the Canadian Human Rights Code.
Truthiness prevailed ..... even in the face of overwhelming facts and evidence to the contrary......
 
to Seeler - It's good to hear your church is active. It may be due to the dominance of Baptist and independent churches in Moncton that so little is happening here. They are certainly the pets of the Irving press.
