Howdy Ed,
Is is possible to engage in a discussion of ideas without veering off into
religion? Yes! perhaps, among Vorts which make for such an interesting
group.
Religions have perplexed me because I cannot understand why so many
reasonably educated people cannot get past religion and establish a personal
faith based belief system. Mention of the brief account of the story of
David and Goliath....the account is overflowing with the basics of how to
view, how to plan and how to execute a simple life strategy. Facing the
giants!.
In the mind, where all battles are ultimately won or lost.
Does one individual's mind victory impinge on the overall direction of
society ? Yes!
To those that believe... it's true !, To those that don't .. it's not !
