    "We make an idol of our fear, and call it God."

    It's a Quote from The Seventh Seal.

    What do you think?

    "You ever get lonely?."

    "Only around people."

    -Thin Red Line

    Two exellent sayings ashitika.

    Unfortunatley too many religious folk think religion is a game you play to win and too many high horsed modernists take Huxleys line that people must choose between spirituality and the new religion of scientific rationalism. For this little black duck the value is in the questions and the chase is always better than the kill.

    The mistake Charles Taze Russell made was trying to demystify and rationalise his faith (in the process he jettisoned reason altogether and killed the Jehovah he was desperately trying to resurect)

    cheers unclebruce
