Todd Friel: Defintion of the word 'universe'

Sorry Todd, after praising you in the last article I need to criticize you in this one.

I don't know how deep you studied theology. At least not that deep that you would have gathered any sophisticated knowledge of the Latin language.

the first syllable of universe, rightly comes from the Latin word "uni" which means one.
the second syllable comes from the from the Latin word "vertere" which means "something rotated, rolled, changed" (versum is the perfect passive participle of that word)

therefor the word universe means "everything rolled into one, everything combined into one".

I got this researched this information on Wikipedia and you might want to point your listeners to that link so that they can find the real meaning.

I sincerely believe that for Todd Friel, becoming a "Christian" means never admitting you're wrong about something and instead reverting to quibbling and engaging an opponent in a pointless and futile battle of wits. A waste of both parties time.

Todd Friel uses his "theology" in a futile effort to get closure on the types of people who bullied and teased him in his formative years with what can be called "getemism" ("get 'em God"!) he wants to sic God on them. I will never forget actually hearing him say to a person "God's going to get you, man, if you don't have a plan". His idea of the "good news" of the Gospel is that God is a horrendous failure and is going to torture nearly all of his creation. Just ask him once, Ol' Friel will admit it. That's disgusting and perverse. More importantly, look at what he says about our Creator.
