I'm reminded of a story ab..."Hell is other people." I'm reminded of a story about a delicious soup served with a spoon too long to reach your mouth from your own hand.<BR/><BR/>One group of people sits around the soup and starves, because they cannot feed themselves. The other group takes the spoon and uses it to feed soup to one another and has a lovely meal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32487323.post-39075769390541431472009-02-19T20:13:00.000-08:002009-02-19T20:13:00.000-08:00Sartre's novel No Exit comes to mind...Sartre's novel <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Exit" REL="nofollow">No Exit</A> comes to mind...ellroonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11335409429673647381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32487323.post-86902611936029231472009-02-19T16:44:00.000-08:002009-02-19T16:44:00.000-08:00Seriously.

I know they feel they are right and are compelled to save us from certain doom. Are they aware how insulting it is for them to pass judgment on others' philosophical and religious choices? <BR/><BR/>The God I know is not the one hurling thunderbolts in the End Of Days nor allowing demons to lurk in science books, thanks all the same.ellroonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11335409429673647381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32487323.post-84479621992551861882009-02-19T16:09:00.000-08:002009-02-19T16:09:00.000-08:00Thanks for the h/t :-)Most people don't care to qu...Thanks for the h/t :-)<BR/><BR/>Most people don't care to question things. They prefer the comforts of their lives too much to seek honest answers. Sadly though, the creationists are actively convincing others of things they know not to be true simply to justify their own selfish need for comfort over truth.DBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01267112937396907790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32487323.post-14403307946329182992009-02-19T16:02:00.000-08:002009-02-19T16:02:00.000-08:00Ignorance is not religion.
