The grammatically correct designation for us inhabitants of Pluto is "Plutonian", thank you very much."When the Western world accepted Christianity, Caesar conquered; and the received text of Western theology was edited by his lawyers…. The brief Galilean vision of humility flickered throughout the ages, uncertainly…. But the deeper idolatry, of the fashioning of God in the image of the Egyptian, Persian, and Roman imperial rulers, was retained. The Church gave unto God the attributes which belonged exclusively to Caesar."
— Alfred North WhiteheadComment

Pluto, please come back as a planet."Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." ― C.S. Lewis, God in the Dock: Essays on Theology (Making of Modern Theology)Comment

I thought we were Pluterians? It was changed from Plutanian because no one could spell it. Plutonian sounds like we're trying to say 'photonian' with a head cold. Besides, the Plutarchs get all bent out of shape...Originally posted by Duragizer View Post"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

Easy to do. Plutonic rocks (then naming of them) was part of the controversy in early geology between Hutton (one of the first, if not the first, to strongly advocate for an Earth MUCH older than 10,000 years coupled with a theory of continued erosion and reformation) and Werner who theorized all rocks where originally formed under water as a by-product of trying to conform geological theories with a traditional reading of the Genesis text.Originally posted by rwatts View PostMy brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism.

If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

I was hoping, way back, that Pluto would get visited while its atmosphere was still hanging about.
Better late than never, I suppose.
Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

I recommend you do not try too hard and ...research as little as possible. Such weighty things give me a headache. - Shunyadragon, Baha'i apologistComment

Is there any chance that Pluto will eventually clear its orbit of other objects and so reclaim its title as full planet?I'm not here anymore.Comment

My mother told me that her mother went to school with Clyde Tombaugh's daughter in rural Kansas."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard RavenhillComment
