Pretty much you can speak for me, this one, and may, and you are brave to do it. To try it. To sythesize the nature of the problem and the unfilled plate of expectation; the possible needs of the present. <<<Look how many here struggle with the ideas--because they are unwilling to believe, to see truth? I don't think so. But because they feel so removed from this particular story- fairy tale or not.>>> Stuff that glows in the dark is really cool. Almost religious. I had a glow in the closet check it out statue of the Virgin Mary, when I was a kid. I really enjoyed it. I liked pumping it up next to the light and then going in there and seeing it glow. A whole bunch. Just about the right amount of effort for a religious experience too. Effort, reward. Effort, reward. Hope it didn't give me radium poisoning. Hey, it's raining! It's a good thing; because stuff was really getting parched around here. I don't think it's really daytime, here, in this eternal winter; I think things are just glowing in the dark. I hope heaven is sunnier. Or hell; either one.

Interesting article on the history of the Bible as a text generated by scholars. No idea whether any of it is true, during my reading over the past few days I've seen so much finger-pointing about hoaxes that my head is spinning. geocities.com

I took the usual Lutheran catechism classes for two of my Jr High school years. Luther was no slouch, and we used his Small Catechism. I suspect the pastors who taught us were pretty sharp, too. I must have absorbed more than I realized at the time. And I might have read a book or two since then... It is very hard to know what books are worth reading, and it's hard to find the ones that are. Most quickly go out of print. I was very fortunate to cross paths with some folks who really know the field, helped me run across work I wouldn't have known existed.
