/me wonders how exactly they are going to test this.... the things these perverts come up with ( pardon the pun ).Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus

The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

From Blackadder II
Bishop of Bath and Wells: You see I am a colossal pervert. No form of sexual depravity is too low for me. Animal, vegetable, or mineral, I'll do anything to anything.
Blackadder: Ah, fine words for a bishop. Nice to hear the Church speaking out on social issues.
Bishop of Bath and Wells: Drugged, by God!
Blackadder: No, by Baldrick actually - but the effect is much the same.
Bishop of Bath and Wells: You fiend! Never have I encountered such corrupt and foul-minded perversity… Have you ever considered a career in the church?"I work in IT so I'd be buggered without a computer" - Words of wisdom from Provost Harrison
