C.S. LEWIS: "Perfect humility dispenses with modesty".

ROBERT MUGABE: "Indeed. Only God can remove me now".

SIGMUND FREUD: "But God is only an illusion. Religion is an attempt to get control over the sensory world, in which we are placed, by means of the wish-world which we have developed inside us as a result of biological and psychological necessites".

ROBERT MUGABE: "I am termed dictator because I have rejected this supremacist view and frustrated the neo-colonialists".

C.S. LEWIS: "Badness is only spoilt goodness. Wrong will be right, when Aslan comes in sight. At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more. When he bares his teeth, winter meets its death. And when he shakes his mane, it will be spring again".

ROBERT MUGABE: "President Mugabe is like a lion 鈥� when he roars, he leaves some quotable quotes that linger in the mind for a very long time".

SIGMUND FREUD: Well, boys, so far, so homoerotic. But as it happens I know this very lovely psychiatrist...

Robert Mugabe: "I say live to be the show"

Sigmund Freud: "We are brothers Robert and sons of the enlightenment of the old town claptrap united against the common enmy"

C.S. Lewis: "But my brothers worse than all that, we have what good Bishop Hall calls a stone of obstination in our hearts against God"

Mugabe: I am being cast in the role of tyrant - what am I to do?

Freud: Don鈥檛 fret my friend, it is not your fault, you have repressed a great trauma, come in, take a couch, lie down.

C.S. Lewis: That which I greatly feared had at last come upon me. In the Trinity Term of 1929 I gave in, and admitted that God was God, and knelt and prayed: perhaps, that night, the most dejected and reluctant convert in all England. I did not then see what is now the most shining and obvious thing; the Divine humility which will accept a convert even on such terms. The Prodigal Son at least walked home on his own feet. But who can duly adore that Love which will open the high gates to a prodigal who is brought in kicking, struggling, resentful, and darting his eyes in every direction for a chance of escape? The words compelle intrare, compel them to come in, have been so abused be wicked men that we shudder at them; but, properly understood, they plumb the depth of the Divine mercy. The hardness of God is kinder than the softness of men, and His compulsion is our liberation.

Which all goes to show that CS Lewis's intelligence was rather over-rated.

Hi Heliopolitan

Is that all you have to say?

And Helio

Maybe I should also say, "What and Freud was bright!"

C.S. LEWIS: "A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell".

ROBERT MUGABE: 鈥淲hen I was a child my mother told me that God had chosen me to be a great leader鈥�.

SIGMUND FREUD: "Where id goes, there shall ego go".

C.S. LEWIS: I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else鈥�.

SIGMUND FREUD: 鈥淚n the long run, nothing can withstand reason and experience, and the contradiction religion offers to both is palpable鈥�.

Robert Mubabe; I am God's embodiment on earth. My will is God's will.

CS Lewis: You are under a delusion sir. Jesus thought he was God too and he was also mistaken.

Ziggy; You ah bosth Krazeeee. You bosth belonk in ze nut howze. You two ah a daynjah to zoz-eye-ateee. You need to be in an inzditution faw yaw own protectshun und zoz-eye-ateeze. (vut a bunch of krazeees. Evereeevun knows zat I am zee Got.)

RM: The struggle for liberty continues - Britain and America still oppress the people of Africa- we will never cease to fight the colonial powers...

SF: Did you say 'colon' Mr Mugabe? Do you experience constipation frequently?

CSL: Not at table Sigmund! Pass the claret there's a good chap. I say, did you hear the one about the tower and the rosebud?

SF: Fascinating, Mr Lewis, tell me more...

This comment was removed because the moderators found it broke the house rules. Explain.

i.e. it was funny.

Smashy why not try again but moderate a bit?

I used a word beginning with F that rhymes with decking and the moderators deemed it offensive. I presume that was the reason since they don't actually tell you.

What is wrong with flecking Smashy?

Some people hey!

I wonder would phecing be OK?

CSL: Peter Morrow makes a good point. Sigmund, you are highly over-rated too. In fact, if anything, we are, in Will's conversational suggestion, three self-important over-rated narcissistic wet hankies.

RM: Speak for yourself. If God wanted to remove me, he would.

SF: Which indicates what, precisely?

RM: God exists, and he wants me to be President.

CSL: Oh... theodicy. I never could grasp that concept. Bad stuff happens - it's our fault as miserable sinners. Good stuff happens - praise be to God. Sounds like God has a perfect excuse for anything. I'm out of my depth here, boys. Anyone catch the Spain/Germany game?

SF: Spain? Germany? Yes, I am told that the Spainards won the match 1 to zero. Then again, not having watched it, being reluctant to accept testimony and never having visited Spain or Germany, I see no reason to believe that this is true; nor indeed am I inclined to believe that either of the countries exist.

CSL: Yes theodicy. The problem of pain indeed. Mercy and justice and darkness...

...If only there was someone to redeem us.

Richard Dawkins (for it is he): You called?

:-)

CSL: Yes Dawkins. He is not a tame Richard.

Aren't the moderators meant to e-mail us to explain why we have had comments removed?
