That may be but Shedd's protestations are not supported by the Constitution nor are they required.

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill;
I will choose a path that's clear
I will choose freewill.


I doubt Shedd would like this type of freedom.

"Idolatry is committed, not merely by setting up false gods, but also by setting up false devils; by making men afraid of war or alcohol, or economic law, when they should be afraid of spiritual corruption and cowardice." G.K. Chesterton

>"A chimera or a nonentity would never evoke such a passionate antagonism as is expressed in the reasonings of atheism."

LOL!! The practice of superstition is hardly a "CHIMERA" crawling through human history: Subjugation, superstition, slavery, idiocy, torture, and the blood on billions of innocent is not quite a "Chimera"!!

Why such a passionate response?! Who should we sacrifice next!! :-)

Maybe those two bears who were fast enough to kill all 42 of the little kids running for their lives??!

But maybe Noah sacrificed them after finding dry land! I DO hope so! I never did like those mean and cruel bears!

Then maybe God made new bears (after Noah smoked those killer bears) so that good Christians could see that Science is not all wrong!! WHOOOO!!!
