Ran across an interesting story this morning on the CBS News.com site. It's titled Christianity Condensed and it's a story about a new, shortened version of the Bible. The title is " 100- Minute Bible " and has only 20,000 words and 60 pages.
Go to http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/09/27/print/main886631.shtml
Sounds like a good idea to me.
To long for me. The big Bible took me years to read.
i could reduce it to a few thoughts
god (whether a personal creator or a collective higher presence) loves individuals
in following this example humans should love other individuals as they love themselves
the best way to show this love is to do unto others as you would have them do unto you
this creates a better world and if done perfectly by everyone would create a paradise
the reward for this is the action in itself, one becomes a more wholly connected person
