Time to wrap up my effort at making up miracles. Were you curious as to whether I was still alive or struck dead, as I pretended my computer had threatened ? Whatever your reaction to my “resurrection”, I’m back in business. But not with a vengeance, just a determination to continue blogging as long as I can – physically and mentally – at whatever frequency I choose, and as long as I have something pertinent to say about religious credulity. You better believe it !
RIDENDA RELIGIO
P.S. I was flabbergasted to see that some readers actually believed my concocted story about my computer self-typing a death-threat by remote (or divine !) control. I don’t know if it’s even technically possible (it is NOT – theologically), but apparently it is as least credible. (Maybe I should write a techie thriller, or, better, a “Dan Brown”.) I thought I had made the account sufficiently over-the-top as to be taken for the joke that it was, or was intended to be. I guess that after Donald Trump, Kellyanne Conway and Sean Spicer we are ready to believe just about anything. Sorry.
BTW (ugh !), after “Angels and Demons” and “The Da Vinci Code”, Dan Brown wrote a third saga of the adventures of my favorite “symbologist”, “Inferno” (click “Inferno”on “Search” to read my earlier post on the book). The movie version, I recently discovered, has someone talking about “counterfeit reality”. Did this inspire Conway to create “alternative facts” ? The question constitutes a veritable scoop – no one has ever asked the question. Then again, readers of this Blog have learned to be surprised at nothing they read here, a blogosphere mine of nuggets you’ll find nowhere else. Had you ever heard of a self-typing keyboard before reading my recent posts ? The Donald has no monopoly on blowing his own Trump-et.
Blind Faith: Blind Folly 
We all know (or should) that the blogosphere lives forever. So sometime, somewhere, someone will discover that a primitive computer keyboard was activated by divine (or satanic) intervention to threaten with imminent annihilation a poor hapless god-mocking blogger.
He/she/it will then be reassured to discover that the offending blogger has resurrected himself.
Dan Brown could well profit by collaborating with me regarding this true-to-life thriller.
To be continued!

“To be continued” indeed, and no expiration date has been announced. The department store we knew as “Anthony Hordern’s” had a tree as its logo with the motto : “While I live I’ll grow”. Mine could be “While I live I’ll blog”. Now that I’m resurrected, maybe I could get my computer to type my posts for me. I could just sit back in my Lazyboy (perfect for me) sipping my Holy Water on the rocks, communicate the content by telepathy and let the keys do the typing. Wouldn’t even need to write the thing longhand. Divine dictation gave us the Koran, the Torah and according to some, even the Gospels. Might give it a burl. If He could do it, why can’t I ?

Well, I am big enough to admit I had believed the bewitched keyboard, because it can happen, and does. And there I thought you were comfortably sitting in your living room, typing away and suddenly…the keyboard had a mind of its own! Beware of hackers who can do just that, but it would seem that this time, it was just a wonderful way to get us to read the blog, which we all love! Good going, Frank!
PS I also admit my disappointment at the follow-up blog post not being about your exorcised keyboard…

The ad on CNN says that the city of Montreal is “the most unique”. People who master English, or any other language, know that there are no degrees in uniqueness. You, dear Amy, are truly unique, one-of-a-kind. Thank you for your delicious comment – and for you remarkable humility, which is another word for honesty. I did not know that hackers could actually get a keyboard to type all by itself. Many people would have no doubt that it’s a piece of cake for God. I used to think that touch-typing was quite an exploit. No-touch-typing is nothing short of a miracle.
