tonorator Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 (edited) Well, in the spirit of your "Jesus was the son of God or he was Insane" arguement, let me say this: You are either on a wonderful fishing expedition, or your are an ignorant ass bible thumpin moran whose every post sounds more imbecilic than the last. There really is no other option. I choose to believe the former rather than the latter.

But when they're three and highly mobile, you should prepare to go with man coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you realize that as far as can be discerned from yer posts here in this thread, you stand for the exact opposite religous principles and beliefs as Ralph Waldo Emerson? Did you just pick that quote because you liked how it sounded, or do you anything about the former UU minister Emerson and his beliefs?

That was a primary tenet of Universalism and still is one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you just pick that quote because you liked how it sounded, or do you anything about the former UU minister Emerson and his beliefs? 1423174[/snapback] i know of emerson's unitarian background. even though our religious beliefs may differ (he did not believe Jesus divine), that doesn't stop me from respecting the man and his writings. i love the quote because it draws on each of us to examine if we truly live our lives the way we think we do. we may believe in our minds that we are becoming what we want to be, but sometimes the things we ultimately worship are harder to acknowledge. it also speaks to our need as humans to worship ... we will worship something. even though i have christian beliefs, that doesn't mean i'm all for exclusion of others. at the end of the day, i hold Jesus very dear to my heart and thank Him for he strength and hope He gives me. that in no way means that everyone i respect and interact with must do the same, because i know that this life is hard, merciless, and incredibly confusing. i have the deepest respect for those who search, for those with questions, for those who aspire to understand the ultimate question of "why?" everyone doing this does it with the intellect and experience they have and the different theories and approaches are all fascinating to me. the quote is from "Singing The Living Tradition".
