Entry: Theosis in White Harlem Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/theosis_in_white_harlem#8527 Post contents: Come to think of it, Homer's malapropism calling God "omnivorous" is a good metaphor to remind us all of our ignorance and misunderstanding of the mind, and nature, of God. St Augustine acknowledged the impossibility of ever really understanding the mystery of the Holy Trinity, and many orthodox doctrines as enunciated in our feeble mortal languages probably sound, to God, as childish and naive and confused as Homer Simpson saying "omnivorous." Homer's salvation is more through his faith than through his garbled theology. Sent at: 2008 09 06
