So did you praise him for his ability to distinguish between the concept of "desire" and that of "demand,"or did you scold him for trying to demand something which is, in fact, a privilege? Eh?
It reminds me of a remark made by Meatwad on _Aqua Teen Hunger Force_: "I don't 'want' candy. I _need_ candy. And when you need something, it's a responsibility."
Well, economists don't really change names of things just for the fun of it.
I suppose if you felt an irrepressible urge to change the name just for the sake of being weird, you could refer to it as the "Supply of Christ." If a change in attitudes caused a sudden increase in church attendence, you might discuss the effect of that change on the "Marginal Producers of Salvation."
"The whole concern of doctrine and its teaching must be directed to the love that never ends. Whether something is proposed for belief, for hope or for action, the love of our Lord must always be made accessible, so that anyone can see that all the works of perfect Christian virtue spring from love and have no other objective than to arrive at love." -- The Roman Catechism (aka Catechism of the Council of Trent)
That. Is. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteThat is all. -_-

ReplyDeletePerhaps Roger is trying to encourage the use of economic terminology.
ReplyDeleteAh, yes, our budding economist priest. How do you say "Body of Christ" in econo-speak?

That might be blasphemous, though.
LMAO!
ReplyDeleteDude, that's hilarious! (even if it just might be slightly blasphemous.)
