My Notebook

Most of this probably won't make much sense to you...meh, Que Sera, Sera.

I dislike my prof

One of my profs today told me that we *must* use "inclusive language" for everything we submit, including in references to God. So in honour of her decree to us, I give you the new politically correct Lord's prayer (this'll probably be funny only to a few theology students).



Our parental diety*, who art in heaven
hallowed be thy name,
thy monarachial territory** come,
thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven

give us this day our daily food***
and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us
and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil
for thine is the monarchial territory****,
the power and the glory,
forever and ever,
a-person*****

*No "father", it might be a she!
**Sorry, Kingdoms are a paternal institution
*** Can't talk about bread, we have to remember the Celiacs
**** There's that dang patriarchy again!
***** "Amen's" got that "men" word in it, that'll never do!




Cheers,
