Dimanche?

....A dimanche toujours la vérité,to use the mediaeval version of 'en dimanche toujours la vérité' is a good  guide in troubled times because Sunday is a day of rest and prayer,a day of truth. But in the North and South,Saturday after 11.45 am is part of Sunday,part of the day of truth. This 'day of truth' lasts until fall of darkness on a Sunday evening in the English vernacular. 

The rise of secularism? Contraindications...

The Free State gougers,gurriers and scumbags on the streets and in sports booths at RTE and on musical shows torment their targets even on a Sunday such is the grip of the petty proprietor and publican and tradesman in the South. Similarly,not a day of truth for an Evangelical or Christological preacher,pastor or clergyman who is often under a lot of pressure from ungrateful curmudgeons and has to work unsocial hours while being the target of unrealistic expectations.........the moral being ex mira mira or nothing good comes of being stressed out or overworked....

....

Let us hypothesise for the purposes of discernment, 

"You only learn about the truth of the matter and who your real friends and detractors are, in a place of prayer on a Sunday". 

The other side of the coin for the supplicant...say to yourself as your father would,

"Pay your dues to the Church and they won't send people to follow you around unless,that is,they want more or think ,"You are good for a few more pounds, shillings and pence. "

The nub of the matter?

I say,ask a police spy or clerical witness if they have signed the Official Secrets Act on a Sunday to dispel doubt and never tell an idler or mouthpiece how much you receive in pay or social security. Spies and clergy get on like a house on fire.

We will never be free of false religious testimony which originates with gurus and false evangelical preaching until we are free of organised religion and clergymen's fellow travellers,policemen.

As regards the three propositions of my opening paragraph,aren't those three anachronisms the founding values of modern society as it affects many people caught in the cross-hairs of secular and sacred?

The hours...."It being about the midnight hour..."

 A tale of woe, therefore, between the 10 o' clock evening news and midnight news broadcasts since ...

In the Roman day,there were only TEN hours,as there were ten days in the Roman calendar.

Remember,readers,that,"It being about the midnight hour when Jesus was praying in the garden,the disciples being asleep. Judas the Traitor and the Temple Guard came to arrest Jesus to bring him before the High Priest later that day. It was the custom of the Jews and Chief Priests not to have anyone tried on the Sabbath which fell the next day and the high priests were anxious to have Jesus put on trial right away for blasphemy since they had heard from the crowd that he had said that he was the Messiah or a man sent by God and that was considered blasphemy by Jews and Romans alike..."

Have I made my point clear-TURN off the news after 10 p.m. It is all BAD news and like the Apostles at Pentecost,have your doors and windows locked up and don't let anyone into your house since the hour of betrayal is around midnight as every THUG,HOOLIGAN and PSYCHOPATH knows.

Likewise,every drunken Irishman sitting around a table in a public house in Cookstown on a Saturday night after drinking steadily from midday with murder in mind...
