the passages Solon quotes are from your own scripture greg, so compose yourself . Your genuine "sadness" for Solon comes across as true very genuine concern for his soul.<g> So does your respect for the ideas and concepts others have shared here.... If calling the many descriptions of horror, death and maiming , in the scriptures you cherish seems to insult you , then you will have to take that up with those who chose to write it. I am less concerned with a God that sends disease and pestilence, plagues, and floods upon living breathing creatures and people in this world , and more tempted to seek out a God that is more benevolent and all-embracing and enlightened than that. It is not an insult to to see this , except to those who would choose to ignore those many horrific passages and deem them "instructive" . I do not share your view that "God" is a being to be feared , of Satan and evil , and your constant rancor of being a chosen one . Jesus was a Rabbai , a man , a reformer, a mystic and it is your right to make him into a God , if you choose. regards mars
