I suspect they only hit when uninvited, that's why they're called trolls. <BR/><BR/>As Al Capone said on his death bed, "I'm really not such a bad guy." None of us are. <BR/><BR/>I suspect I give my critics ammunition since I fire back when fired upon. They already think we atheists are scum bag low life bastards and they know how to push my hot buttons. I only wish I still had the power of the Holy Spirit inside me to use a little more self-restraint when personally attacked!

Both rationalists and fundamentalists speak the same language, and an example of this can be seen in the poet's description of one Peter Bell who observes that <BR/> <BR/><I>A primrose by a river's brim<BR/>A yellow primrose was to him,<BR/>And it was nothing more.</I><BR/> <BR/>The attitude revealed by the poet here is one that must become dormat or vestigal in order for a more useful version of reality to inform us.<BR/> <BR/>Fundamentalist relgion and objective science are not the only path. Poetry, art, creativity, metaphor,etc. are vital necessities for human living.<BR/> <BR/>Without them there lies a dangerous impoverishment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21219785.post-20756686888284155722007-10-10T02:57:00.000-04:002007-10-10T02:57:00.000-04:00Quick!
