"I shall here write my thoughts without order, and not perhaps in unintentional confusion; that is true order, which will always indicate my object by its very disorder. I should do too much honour to my subject, if I treated it with order, since I want to show that it is incapable of it" (Pascal, Pensees 373).

"The heritage of values which has been received and handed down is always challenged...To challenge does not necessarily mean to destroy or reject a priori, but above all to put these values to the test in one's own life, and through this existential verification to make them more real, relevant and personal, distinguishing the valid elements in the tradition from false and erroneous ones, or from obsolete forms which can be usefully replaced by others more suited to the times" (John Paul II, Centesimus Annus).
"If there were no obscurity, man would not be sensible of his corruption; if there were no light, man would not hope for a remedy. Thus, it is not only fair, but advantageous to us, that God be partly hidden and partly revealed; since it is equally dangerous to man to know God without knowing his own wretchedness, and to know his own wretchedness without knowing God" (Pascal, Pensees 686).
Cryptography is the study of means of converting information from comprehensible form into an incomprehensible format--the art of encryption. In the past, cryptography helped ensure secrecy in important communications, such as those of spies.
Icon (n): a graphic symbol that denotes a program or a command or a data file or a concept in a graphical user interface; a visual representation of an object or scene or person or abstraction produced on a surface; a religious image on a small panel--venerated in the Eastern Church.
If I could through myself / Set your spirit free / I'd lead your heart away / See you break, break away / Into the light / And to the day.

"Banks feel like Cathedrals."
Why not? The modern person worships money. A bank would be a house of worship.
Sickening.
Yea but u dont get a free check when u go to the bank
Only God gives free grace or free stuff at all
I remember reading something that basically said that towns and cities built as the tallest building what was important... at that time the tallest building was the Churches... interesting how things have changed.

who cares about dumb toolkits? no offense to people who like fixing things. the point is you dont get something free at banks that you really need or want.
As Muki said, Banks are modern Cathedrals. Persons in our culture are attracted to and pursue with all their time and energy, money and all that comes with it. Money has taken the place of God in occupying man's thoughts, especially during the Advent season. He no longer thinks of God or contemplates the mysteries of the Faith. Silence is the sound that men fear. Mr. R once said that man fears death because he has become so materialistic. That is absolutely true. We fear the loss of possessions, of experiences, and of persons who do not even belong to us. We build cathedrals of vice to feed our desire for power and prestige. What a tragedy!
Against Banks? How can one be against a building?
No, we are against the worship of money. Which would have been evident in our posts.
