I am large. I contain multitudes.

Our name is Legion, for we are many

To correct the quote: My name is Legion, for we are many.

Mark 5:9

So I was curious about various translations and this one made me laugh:

Quote:

My name is Lots, because I have “lots” of evil spirits.

Not quite up to the level of KJV prose!

Λεγιὼν ὄνομά μοι, ὅτι πολλοί ἐσμεν.

Takes me back to sharing a coop house with a divinity student.

Everyone is a divinity in disguise, a god playing the fool.

There is a divinity that shapes our ends, rough-hew them how we will.

The Agnostic's Prayer

Insofar as I may be heard by anything, which may or may not care what I say, I ask, if it matters, that you be forgiven for anything you may have done or failed to do which requires forgiveness.

Conversely, if not forgiveness but something else may be required to insure any possible benefit for which you may be eligible after the destruction of your body, I ask that this, whatever it may be, be granted or withheld, as the case may be, in such a manner as to insure your receiving said benefit.

I ask this in my capacity as your elected intermediary between yourself and that which may not be yourself, but which may have an interest in the matter of your receiving as much as it is possible for you to receive of this thing, and which may in some way be influenced by this ceremony.

Amen.

You can do foolish things here, but do them with enthusiasm.

issybird · 01-09-2021, 11:23 AM

These foolish things remind me of you.
