I know much of the western world does not go to church, and thinks with Hollywood that a picture full of swearing and violence, or a picture<BR/>celebrating a homosexual love affair, are the top two movies made last year.<BR/><BR/>We saw King Kong, Walk the Line, and Pride and Prejudice. All were wholesome and encouraged us to<BR/>think that some show biz folks want to make good pictures - good in every sense of the word. Still plan to see the Chronicles of Narnia in which the lion has<BR/>Christ-like qualities.<BR/>I hope you read some upbeat articles in the next week or so. Put away all that negative stuff. Take your wife out for a good dinner and enjoy yourself. Go<BR/>to the PV library and check out a comedy DVD. Now when you come into Mayers' next time I want to see a big smile! <BR/><BR/>Best wishes,<BR/>JoyceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999692.post-1142277967151391062006-03-13T11:26:00.000-08:002006-03-13T11:26:00.000-08:00Bill, PLEASE don't give up on our God given missio...Bill, PLEASE don't give up on our God given mission.<BR/><BR/>"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up"<BR/><BR/>DonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999692.post-1142205738206629152006-03-12T15:22:00.000-08:002006-03-12T15:22:00.000-08:00Hey Pete,We gotta get a life!

Unfortunately he went nuts at 44 and lived a long time after that. Next on my list is Kant, then Russell. His partner Whitehead seems to have a religious philosophy more like mine.<BR/> <BR/>Some Big Bangers believe in a bouncing universe with bangs and crunches stretching back ad infinitum and into the infinite future. I guess the bangs get more powerful (or at least more disordered) over time due to the entropy increase. But why do I need to admit that God is in our space and time? Exactly backward from Christian belief.<BR/> <BR/>I do agree that one of the benefits of religion (not that it exists for) is social control. Our founding fathers understood that well. Look around and see what you get when that control is lost. Check out the LA high schools. And enlightened Europe? I think not.<BR/> <BR/>There, I feel better again.Bill Lamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02092428206818183253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9999692.post-1142205591651703862006-03-12T15:19:00.000-08:002006-03-12T15:19:00.000-08:00Bill: Sounds like you're not doing too well, "blog...Bill:<BR/> <BR/>Sounds like you're not doing too well, "blog-funks" can be serious! Hope your foot gets better. I can't wait until I get my next hip surgery in a week and a half, its been just a lot of constant, unrelivable pain and immobility.<BR/> <BR/>OK, enough of that feel sorry for each other stuff, let me try and cheer you up. <BR/> <BR/>Have no fear! God is NOT dead! God can NOT die!! It is simply illogical since He/She/It never existed! It's like asking somebody who believes in the Big Bang (the begining of all time and space) what (in time) and where (in space) something was before the Bang! Completly illogical! As you point out, enlightened Europeans have known for some time, that the specific psychological construct called "God", or religion in general, exists only for the purposes of social control and economic benefit: in the form of ancient to modern taboos and taxation (or lack of it), from Kings and Popes to present day politicians and revivalists. I could go on and on like this, but I sense your foot feels better already, and clearly your blog has defunked.<BR/> <BR/>Amen<BR/> <BR/>- PeteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
