Gil p.s. - I know that I am destined to be returned to Carbon Cycle at some point. But the concepts of heaven and hell are mere fable in my estimation. Contrived by the early church, and countless religions before Christianity, to scare the masses into coughing up the goods in the hope of eternal salvation. A good flick to see is Luther. A bit terse in spots as compared to the historical chronicaling of his day. But the point is well made re: current starvation for the good of the (early) church in exchange for a presumed eternal life of salvation. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]]on Behalf Of Michael Madigan > Sent: Monday, January 05, 2009 6:37 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: Ceil Silver > > > Just remember Gil, heaven is a Windows shop.
