Ezekiel 25:17 - "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

Today I learned that the Old English root word for "Church" is Circe. Which happens to be the same name of the Greek Goddess that is known for putting spells on her enemies which turns them into wild beasts. Huh... Just a coincidence I am sure. :^)

Moirai (ΞΞΏΞ―ΟΞ΅Ο), also known as the three Fates, in Greek religion, the Moirai were the goddess of fate, the incarnations of destiny.
Their number became fixed at three:
[1] Clotho (ΞΞ»ΟΞΈΟ) - the spinner
She spins the thread of life and determines if and when a person will be born.
[2] Lachesis (ΞΞ¬ΟΞ΅ΟΞΉΟ) - the allotter
She determines what will "lust" in each person, and she is who allots a thread/length to each person with a measuring rod.
[3] Atropos (ΞΟΟΞΏΟΞΏΟ) - the unturnable
She cuts a man's thread/length when his time comes, using traditional shears.

βA fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that's just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it's a joke.β
