Ecclesiastes 7:23 "All this I have tested by experience; I said 'I will catch the train', but it was far from me. That which is, is far off, and late, very late, who can find it out? I turned my mind to know and to search out and to seek wisdom and the sum of train schedules, and to know that impatience is folly and that expectation is madness. I found more bitter than death the female train conductor who is a trap, whose passage is snares and nets, whose ticket punch is a fetter; one who pays his fare escapes her, but the fare evader is taken by her. See, this is what I found, syas the Train Catcher, adding one thing to another to find the schedule, which my mind has sought repeatedly, but I have not found. One male train conductor among a thousand I have evaded, but a woman among all these I have never evaded. See, this alone I found, that God made human beings straightforward, but they have devised late schedules and many fares." This is a 21 st century allegory for someone riding a subway train. One has to use the vernacular language if one is going to Win Atheists and Influence Heretics. Bob Crowley.
