Nice to see Solon instruct you more in the mysteries of truth & reason , objectivity vs subjectivity.

Perhaps make you a little more humble before the great altar of an awakening mind .<g>

He did a masterful job shaping and influencing
the intractable clay between your ears . I sense
much of the reason of his words is slightly
sinking in ?

Jesus might have intended for you from the start
to be humbled on the altar of a superior
reasoning force . Solon is the Universe , and you are
the cowering dumb little creature clutching
his book of ancient little tribal stories up in
front of your eyes.<g>

Has Solon ever appeared to be an egregious materialist
or uncaring and unfeeling ? Or has he denied any of the specific simple beatitudes morals and virtues you might present before him ?

No . He has only questioned the validity of such claims
you would make of being somehow ordained as a chosen
one , holding all the virtual keys to such a Truth
and imagined Kingdom . all to the detriment and derailment
of understandings that come from so vast a universe
of other sources , besides the trials and tribulations
of one small Semetic tribe on the earth's and man's
long stretches of existence .

You cannot be so blind as to think a Universal Divine Being
behind all this wonderful and beautiful orderliness
would have only chosen to reveal himself to one such
small tribe and their descendants , at only one point
in history while ignoring
all others ?

Easy for many like you , who try so little to do any
proper or open search and study understanding the many other
manifestations and soures of wisdom , truth , reason, love
and search for justice and even divinity , that took place in many other
times and places and has added much more to the bulk
of the firmament which you are now standing upon than
you dare choose to be aware of .

I have to thank you greg , for Solon just put
on a masterful performance (exhibiting much patience)
in his exchanges with you and if you just
look a little deeper ...a little more light might just
be shining down on you
than was before.

prayers have just been answered on the level of reason.
But the heart has it's reasons ...that reason does not
know.
