"He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."

Know that quote. I like it to. Be careful not to become a monster.

I've seen the tendency in myself to respond with sarcasm and harshness to the insults that people aim at Christians, particularly those of us who belong to the Catholic faith. That's when I have to pull away from the forum for awhile, take a deep breath, and come back here when I no longer feel like ripping someone's arm off and beating them over the head with it.
So I think Mr. N had a good point.

Doesn't seem to apply to one who is filled with the spirit of God in Jesus Christ. If the abyss gazes into such an one it will see Jesus, hmmmm.

I'm looking at the abyss right now, and his tattoo of his third wife/2nd victim is creeping me out.

It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

Also don't forget this one: "Never argue with a fool. People might not know the difference."

Don't forget: "Don't argue with a fool. They bring you down to their level and beat you with experience."

Good old Freddy. He did have a way with words, didn't he?
