================================================ Subject: Re: About all of this religious talk.... From: "Steve Arpey" To: Date: Wed 9 May 2001 20:56:16 EDT ================================================ I think Nora Illustrated my point much better than I could have. That is the level of fanatasism that scares me most. You see Nora, I happen to believe that we who choose not to waste our lives trying to get to a place that doesn't exist, will be the ones that have truely lived. Churches all over are filled with people as inept as you seem to be, who will gladly tithe to a church simply to feel a sense of belonging. I, however live each day in the company of truly interesting people, each with his or her OWN concepts of how we got here and why. Here's the catch though...We don't pretend to know the answer! It simply cannot be known. We don't try to convince anyone that our little theories are the only truth and scare thm into complacency. We just go on about our lives until our last breath leaves us, kmowing that we have used our bodies and minds in the capacity for which they were designed. We did not fall victim to geedy tyrants that want you to conform to their standards in order to maintain your usefulness to them. Life, to us, is not a shortcut to never neverland. It is a singular miracle that cannot be explained...only enjoyed. You suffer from the wicked fruit of your own vine. I will not live in fear.
