As in, "I came home from church yesterday and ate some good French Brie with lots of Marmite on it. I loved it". Any other enjoyable sins and recommended penances?

Was church the sin, and marmite the penance? ![[Biased]](wink.gif)

I stated it the wrong way round. Marmite brings joy to my heart and stomach, but church was the penance this week. We're going through an excruciatingly bad music phase. Self flagellation would be benign by comparison.

Surely marmite is the dirty bit left over after they've removed the cleaner parts of the sewage of Hell?

Bo Vril = life force of the ox. So I'm not seeing it in sandals. Boots, definitely boots.

Don't bother with Bovril. Nobody spreads Bovril on their crumpets. Besides, Bovril is an anagram of Evil.
(Well it is if you lose a couple of letters and change the O to an E.)

I fear a second Great Schism, centred on Burton-on-Trent.

Typical. You're forgetting the radical reformation - the AnaBranstonists.

I don't know. In his commentary on Obadaiah 1:17, Matthew Henry refers more generically to quote:
the salvation and holiness of the gospel, its spread, and the conversion of the Gentiles
without saying which spread he had in mind.

Hmm, so my choice comes down to:- Believe that marmite is the spread of Jesus. Eat this, and go to Heaven.
- Refuse to eat marmite, and burn forever in Hell.
Pascal's wager is rather easy for me here.

The only bears with a starring role in the Bible that I recollect are the two who chomped their way through the children mocking Elisha. It says they were she bears so it is likely that Pooh is a great-great- grandcub of these formidable ladies. I wouldn't get too close as he probably sees the hunny as more of a condiment...

I am surprised that there is no reference in this thread to the deity Vegemite.

That's because we all know what happened to Cain's vegetable-only offering.

Apparently, there are eight Bible verses about bears. (And a *lot* about bearing children.)

So, this has wandered from the confessional to Marmite to Bible verses about bears and on to Winnie the Pooh. (Paddington, btw, had no time for Marmite sandwiches. It was marmalade or nothing.)
And on that note, I think we're done here, so -
