At heart, the difference between Catholics and Protestants is as wide as the gulf between Moslems and Hindus. To the Protestant, the Bible is the inerrant, direct word of god. Immutable - infallible: “God said it, I believe it, that ends it.”<br /><br /> To the Catholic, the Bible is a man-made work of literature, inspired by god, but a work created by fallible human beings. The Bible is not literally true; but, filled with metaphors, inspired by the holy spirit. Jesus spoke in parables, a metaphorical way of expressing his ideas. The seven days in Exodus are a metaphorical approximation of the truth, and if you read it as such, an account which seems to square with current scientific thought.<br /><br /> God gave man the gift of reason.

There is no turning back from ...Thoughtful topic. <br /><br />There is no turning back from the examined life. <br /><br />His lack of resurrection might be determined as you suggest. Biblical Creation has been disproved already, I believe. Our personal creation is ubiquitous: one’s birth Mother. <br /><br />The Hawkings question looks backward. Look forward. Our destination is ubiquitous: the abyss. <br /><br />The religion question is relatively easy and satisfying if one accepts Freud: <br /><br />Religion is man’s ego-constructed "no" to the id’s omnipresent "yes". <br /><br />That’s it. Everything. Religion explained in one sentence. That was my conclusion years ago, while studying Carl Jung, Freud’s paper Negation, and another text or two not readily accessible. <br /><br />Ultimately it is futile, even heresy, to query the unknowable without omniscience. <br /><br />Thus, the unexamined life remains popular.Negationhttp://www.thefreedictionary.com/abyssnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-53208243686577453672015-04-06T07:39:36.536-04:002015-04-06T07:39:36.536-04:00"If the universe is merely a random occurrenc..."If the universe is merely a random occurrence, then life is meaningless and death is a very depressing thought."<br /><br />This is only depressing if religious faith is what you use to provide meaning to your life. Instead of using a deity as a crutch, focus on the magnificent planet that you have the privilege to inhabit, the wondrous things you can experience in this lifetime and the moments of happiness you share with others. So much time is wasted on hoping for happiness, perfection, etc. in another existence that people fritter away the only proven existence that they have. That is the most depressing thought of all.

When I arrived, I saw a sparkling clean court house. I parked my car, right in front, in one of the numerous free parking spots. I was able to be whisked right in by the very friendly security at the entrance. The Clerk in the court room, was kind enough to copy a duplicate file from an earlier, related case...free of charge. The case was called on time and my case was taken out of turn. All the staff inside of the court room was as friendly and professional as can be. Even the judge (with the infamous reputation) handled the case in an ideal and proper manner. I liked how she took effective control over the meandering and manipulative petitioner. <br /><br />Hialeah Branch Court doesn't deserve its negative reputation. Other than the remote location (not nearly as a pain as Coral Gables...parking is difficult or South Dade... too. too far), it's really not that bad. Even Palm Avenue looks it's actually zoned now!<br /><br />Could Hialeah be the future?Scott Saulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-67973000189659593392015-04-05T22:32:27.726-04:002015-04-05T22:32:27.726-04:00"And God said: Let there be light!
