Just a few comments about the posts above...
Thanks Rhett for sharing the info about Francis Hitching.
Wow Mommy, you got Mommy to say "uncle?" Cool.
Joseph, you asked...
does any of you have something better to offer than everlasting life in a paradise on earth?Here's my take on things, if I got into an accident and say damaged my spinal cord, would I want my doctor to give his estimation of my chances accurately or to lie and tell me I was going to recover completely and not to worry about anything? I decided a long time ago I would rather trade accuracy over fiction. At least this way, I can make the best of my future and have the most productive life possible now instead of dreaming about something that will never come and serving the interests of a falsehood with the intent to survive at all costs. Outside of this one main selling point, the other thing I can say is that we are certainly living in interesting times and perhaps we are going to experience a very special time in human history...it might be quite a ride.
Jan..good job on trashing the old Evolution book, man was that ever an embarassing thing for Witnesses when someone confronted them with the faked quotes!
