QED... question emitting diode?
OK, really, "quod erat demonstrandum" = which was to be demonstrated or proved. Hey, I'm not *that* much of a geek, because I had to look it up, and I'm sitting in a classroom surrounded by dictionaries. But if anyone at the Village wants to try to out-geek me in the word-nerd category, bring it on ;-)
I have no strong feelings pro or con the Smackdown title except to say it beats the heck out of The Secret Society of Touchy Feely Guys, or Crabbian Night on the Southside or... (Just what is it that you do over there?) How about Boyz n the Hood?

I think the first smack-down happened in Nehemiah 13:23 (I like the TLB version - in fact I like it so much that I once even put it up in the quotes...)

Nehemiah 13:23-25 (New International Version)

23 Moreover, in those days I saw men of Judah who had married women from Ashdod, Ammon and Moab. 24 Half of their children spoke the language of Ashdod or the language of one of the other peoples, and did not know how to speak the language of Judah. 25 I rebuked them and called curses down on them. I beat some of the men and pulled out their hair. I made them take an oath in God's name and said: "You are not to give your daughters in marriage to their sons, nor are you to take their daughters in marriage for your sons or for yourselves.

Derek: your convoluted stream-of-conciousness aside, I salute and applaud your exceptional attention to proper spelling and grammar -- a matter we have neglected to reinforce positively in this community for fear of reprisal.
Karen: what on earth are you doing on this blog? Can't you see we're trying to explore our maleness here? It's an embarrasing process and we should be allowed to do this without female voyeurism.
Robert: see what you've done?
Have a nice day, all.

I was simply asking a question and didn't realize I was setting a fire. Isn't participation, challenging presuppositions and the process of learning and the power of ideas a good thing?
Prior to my coming to Christ I wanted to know the truth as I was exploring the meaning of life while reading a book on witchcraft when a verse from the Gospel of John (14:6) exploded in my head: I am the Way the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the father except through me. Lately John 8:32 has been rattling in my cavernous skull: You shall know the truth and the truth will make you free.
I just wanted to know what Men's Smackdown was. I'm not crazy about the name since I don't like violence and as a culture we seem to worship it. The idea of the group is a good one though.
Ok 1 more verse Psalm 11:5 - The Lord tests the righteous,
But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.

Hey, that's a French word, too: "seer" ;-)
I've made it, finally...I'm a fly on a wall. Somewhere.
