There are some things that only Catholic Fundamentalists understand. Words are among those things.
Catholic Fundamentalism realizes that: Words are names for programs.
When God programmed something, or, more likely, had a glowing cloud of angels program it for Him, He gave it a word. What are words? Names for programs.
He programmed Adam with the mental ability to give names to His programs. Adam began by giving names to God’s programs. Those names were the first human words. He and God had the best time ever, as Adam gave names to things. They’d sit around all day, until the cows, as Adam called them, came home.
“Cow” is Adam’s name for the program God wrote and downloaded that was a “replicating program to provide meat, milk, leather, glue, etc. Adam was also programmed with the ability to re-program some of those programs to fit his needs. “Holstein” is the name of a man-modified program that does some of those things better. “Milk stool” is the name of a man-made program that was used to make it easier to get the milk program out of the cow program.
All the programs in The Creation Program came together in Jesus Christ, The Program. “In the beginning, was The Word. . .” sums up the relationship of us individual human programs to The Program that was with The Loving Programmer, in perfect, human form, from the beginning.
It is The Program, Himself, whose very being all who strive to be “Catholic” try to not only emulate, but also, to download within our very selves. He founded One Church in which we may download His Divine Program within ourselves, because “The Word (An Iron Age name for The Program) was made flesh.”
People whose attitudes range from “bad” to “silly” deny themselves the holy joy of that Holy Download. They cannot have The Word within them in the realest possible way because they ignore His Programming Instruction: “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.”
Our sanest hope is that He’ll think that we’ve obeyed The Programmer’s Operating Instructions sufficiently to let us be with Him forever in Programming HQ.
