    I try and follow the Holy Spirit's prompts. My flesh wants to get into debate with some or worse but I am learning to turn away :)

    LOL.

    I appreciate your honesty.

    And yes, I have been baptized into the Spirit, but the Christian walk is new to me, and the flesh is weak.

    What about us devout Buddhist's?

    I don't think Buddhists have it half bad!

    It isn't Christian, it's Jewish. I hope you like it as much as I do. From the prayer book:

    Responsive Reading: A Prayer for the World

    (Harold Kushner)

    Let the rain come and wash away

    the ancient grudges, the bitter hatreds

    held and nurtured over generations.

    Let the rain wash away the memory

    of the hurt, the neglect.

    Then let the sun come out and

    fill the sky with rainbows.

    Let the warmth of the sun heal us

    wherever we are broken.

    Let it burn away the fog so that

    we can see each other clearly.

    So that we can see beyond labels,

    beyond accents, gender or skin color.

    Let the warmth and brightness

    of the sun melt our selfishness

    so that we can share the joys and

    feel the sorrows of our neighbors.

    Let the earth, nourished by rain,

    bring forth flowers

    to surround us with beauty.

    And let the mountains teach our hearts

    to reach upward to heaven. Amen.

    That is beautiful, Rob.

    That's ok if it's Jewish. The first Christians were Jewish.

    I every morning pray Jehovah God give me holy spirit that it might calm down me during the day. I have remarked that it helps a lot.

    Would it be baiting if I started a similar thread for all the sensible atheists on this board?
