"..the value of childish things and turned to them once more"
What!?
I agree that what is labeled as "childish" is open to debate, but the items I label as childish are not behaviors that I would desire to return to again. We all have witnessed children crying, screaming, and yelling because they don't want to ride in the car, sit in the shopping cart, when another child takes a toy that they were playing with, or when they have to do homework or other assigned tasks. Children tend to think only of themselves and not much beyond that. I haven't seen any children lately that desired to reflect on their own behavior and say "Wow, I was over reacting!" While adults do have these thought processes. Thus, "when I became a man, I put away childish things."
When you look at the larger picture surrounding the verse (13:11) you quoted, we find Paul (the author) describing love.
1st Corinthians 13:4-7, NKJV 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
I believe that antithesis of what Paul describes as love, are in his mind childish things.

One day we may re-design our computers to achieve strong AI for Man, but for Woman--this is at least another hundred years out.
Or is that one of those NP-complete problems?
Jim Trocki would be near the top of my list. Jim is the creator of mon http://www.kernel.org/software/mon/ and he uses vi.
