No Bible Thumping. Your Torah is not better than my Bible.<BR/>But, anyway,I agree--all Holy Writings are invested in "Opinion". <BR/>I don't think there were too many reporters around, scribing on papyrus in the last thousands of years, "getting it right."<BR/>Opinion.<BR/>I used to advise my Children with this thought when other Children derided them. The opposing child's "Opinion" was that, nothing more.<BR/>But, on the other side,our entire Life is directed by it.<BR/>We make our routine by it. Our Opinion. Their Opinion.<BR/>Wars are usually started, or flamed, at the top of the Opinion Pyrimad. --And use their Holy Writings for the basis of this War.Then, of course, the Exalted Leader with a thousand Soldiers, are "right."<BR/>When we read something with much solid sounding History, many times we wrap our minds around it, and make it "right". Or, at least, our Elders make sure you do, or else.<BR/>Which brings one to another point:<BR/>Are we really reading the Holy Writing were taught with at our Parent's knee--by choice? Or should we look into another Script: Torah, Koran,etc.?<BR/>--Maybe Someone else's Opinion is <BR/>More Right.P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761830521353206362.post-4477586989688276452008-01-04T10:11:00.000-08:002008-01-04T10:11:00.000-08:00So I just read your blog on "The Bible" today (Hea...So I just read your blog on "The Bible" today (Heather resent the link to the page)...it is amazing that I was just thinking about the Bible and religion yesterday on my drive home and was getting myself a bit worked up about all the wars, notions, prejudices, etc that are ingrained in our lives and in history all in the name of religion. Your sentiments echo in my mind and heart as to the 'truth' and how it speaks to each person. I agree with you that each of us should seek out what it means to us and how we find meaning in life from the text of books such as the Bible. <BR/><BR/>I also think that each religion holds truths that are correct. The Christian God, if he is the ALMIGHTY, is undoubtedly the God of all people and life everywhere (that is not to say that the picture in our minds eye of God is correct), yet in the minds of people all over the world there are different notions of religion and different gods in every corner of the globe.<BR/>I would theorize that each of these religions hold certain truths that are correct, the Christian way and the Bible itself has been touched by human hands and interpretted time and time again over the centuries, therefore falliable in my opinion. I am not as versed as I'd like to be in any or all religions, but it is my belief that if one study each major religion and culture, seek out the underlying and major truths that the religion is based upon, do a litmus test by applying them to any 'people' free of bias, and tie together those that have commonalities, only then would one be closer to a holistic truth than taking any one fully and completely on Faith (so to speak). <BR/>Bottom line, I enjoy reading your blogs. Keep up the good work as there are inquiring eyes and minds out here reading.<BR/>Take care and peace to you all!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761830521353206362.post-42607597694674489332008-01-03T23:49:00.000-08:002008-01-03T23:49:00.000-08:00Gostei muito desse post e seu blog é muito interes...Gostei muito desse post e seu blog é muito interessante, vou passar por aqui sempre =) Depois dá uma passada lá no meu site, que é sobre o <A HREF="http://www.provedorcrescenet.com" REL="nofollow">CresceNet</A>, espero que goste.
