War against the spirit

    Is this topic politically correct ?

    I can now look back and laugh at my fear of the rock

    "Solid Rock"

    "Well, I'm hanging on to a solid rock
    Made before the foundation of the world
    And won't let go, and I can't let go, won't let go
    And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.

    For me He was chastised, for me He was hated
    For me He was rejected by a world that He created
    Nations are angry, cursed are some
    People are expecting a false peace to come.

    Well, I'm hanging on to a solid rock
    Made before the foundation of the world
    And won't let go, and I can't let go, won't let go
    And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more.

    It's the ways of the flesh to war against the spirit
    Twenty-four hours a day you can feel it and you can hear it
    Using all the devices under the sun
    And He never give up 'til the battle's lost or won.

    Well, I'm hanging on to a solid rock
    Made before the foundation of the world
    And won't let go, and I can't let go, won't let go
    And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more."

    Second stanza third line, is that cursed or coursed?

    Maybe the dude that transcribed Bob Dylan's lyrics was thinking of a coursed curse

    To all of you who would like to write a best seller with no drama in it ..good luck with that

    So what if it's politically correct?

    The only thing that matters is if you can get someone to engage with you in discourse.

    I was sitting next to a catholic priest who was the brother of a priest in Nashville who would become controversial and Father Philip Breen was in a conversation . It was around the time Jimmy Carter would be labelled as a weak POTUS because he was concern about hostages . Philip said to us in a steam bath . I know it sounds funny coming from a man of my vocation ,but some of the most dangerous people in the world are religious fanatics . I believe the Spirit with the uppercase S preceded by Holy is worthy of peace , but the evil spirit of ISIL and ISIS is as real as the Bomb that nearly killed our friends cousin in Beirut and the violence in Paris . Hi Ho Silver my friend :)

    I agree... to me, the opposite of "discourse" is not mental intercourse....

    ...yet neither an intrinsically cursed course
