It is an education process for me as I learn about the psychology of spiritual apostasy. And others get the benefit of perhaps hearing righteousness for the first time.

There's always Navajo, which is mutually intelligible with other Western Apache languages. Or Romanian, which will give you a chance to read some of their most illumined Holy Fathers, who I am sure Augustin can provide you with links to the works of. Or Blackfoot, and help to keep a very endangered language alive. Or there's Aragonese and Leonese. Or Irish. |

I have a feeling I couldn't find anyone to communicate with in Navajo or Blackfoot. lol Is Irish the same language as Celtic? Because that sounds interesting. I'd recommend either C# or Python.

There is no one Cletic language, it's a family of languages. The Celtic peoples living today speak either Irish (sometimes called Gaelic), Welsh, Breton, Manx, Cornish (both nearly dead), or Scots Gaelic (also nearly dead). The Scots spoken in the Lowland is Germanic and its debated whether it's really a separate language at all and not just a dialectic of English. |

Nectar of the gods...  The only annoying thing is that one store that I went to wanted $1.79 for each two liter, whereas another store wanted $1.00 for each one. Why such a big gap in price? How can I hoard the stuff if I can only afford to buy them at one store, and that store only has a paltry 8-10 bottles on the shelf? |

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.
A hasty quarrel kindles fire,
and urgent strife sheds blood.
If you blow on a spark, it will glow;
if you spit on it, it will be put out;
and both come out of your mouth
