A lot of online discussion groups, this one included, have developed a

coffee hour. Nobody expects the conversation to be limited to just
church-related subjects.

That said, it's true that Nick overdoes it. So does Al.

"This is a good translation of a very great book."
St Athanasius stood contra mundum for the Trinitarian doctrine 'whole and undefiled,'
when it looked as if all the civilized world was slipping back...

***Anyone else catch the similarities (indeed, sameness) in the writing
style of "Beauty" and Olympiada Kane. Olympiada is back!!

There is a science that deals with manifesting desires. Many people
regard it as mystical or esoteric, but it's actually a science like
physics or algebra.
There are certain immutable laws that govern the process of
materializing wishes seemingly out of thin air, and once these laws are
complied with, anyone can make their dreams a reality -- with absolute
certainty.
Does this sound far-fetched?
If so, I need you to suspend your disbelief until you hear the whole
story because I assure you -- this will be positively electrifying.
Affirmations have long been recognized as a powerful tool in
manifesting desires. That's because the subconscious mind cannot
differentiate between actual reality and suggestions. Therefore, it
processes suggestions (or affirmations) as being real -- and goes about
using its powerful creative ability -- and that of the nervous system
-- to actualize those affirmations.
For this reason, people from all walks of life -- from athletic
coaches, to sales professionals, to religious leaders, and peak
performance experts (like Anthony Robbins) promote the practice of
affirmations. ...
