"False riches, consisting of money, houses and lands, acquired by selfish means at cost to others and thereafter used selfishly, are almost always used for the oppression of other persons."

Guess who said it!

i'm halfway through two books, and both of them together have greatly helped me understand why people are attracted to extreme religious groups like the jehovah's witnesses, and how these organizations manage to stick around...year after year.

i figure understanding why is the start.

if you are waiting for cherished relatives and friends to "see the light", these books might help.

Great to see you back jgnat!

I was listening to a telephone interview with Ravi Zacharias on the radio only this morning and he was making exactly the same point as Karen Armstrong - that fundamentalism is filling a vacuum created by the age of reason.

He's also written a book called 'The End of Reason' (in response to Sam Harris' books) which offers a Christian apologetic view. As soon as I can get out to do more than basic shopping, I'm gonna buy this and 'End of Faith' - maybe Karen Armstrong's book too - although I reckon the battle for God may be adequately covered by the other two LOL!

port-au-prince (reuters) - a major earthquake hit the impoverished country of haiti on tuesday, collapsing buildings in the capital port-au-prince and burying residents under rubble, a reuters reporter in the city said.. he said he saw dozens of dead and injured people in the rubble, which blocked streets in the city.. the epicenter of the quake was located inland, only 10 miles from the capital port-au-prince and was very shallow at a depth of only 6.2 miles.. it prompted a tsunami watch for parts the caribbean, the pacific tsunami warning center said on tuesday.. "everything started shaking, people were screaming, houses started collapsing ... it's total chaos," reuters reporter joseph guyler delva said.

"i saw people under the rubble, and people killed," he added.. a local employee for the u.s. charity food for the poor reported seeing a five-storey building collapse in port-au-prince, a spokeswoman for the group, kathy skipper, told reuters.. another food for the poor employee said there were more houses destroyed than standing in delmas road, a major thoroughfare in the city.. panic-stricken residents filled the streets desperately trying to dig people from rubble or seeking missing relatives as dark fell shortly after the quake.. "people were screaming 'jesus, jesus' and running in all directions," delva said.. a major earthquake, of magnitude 7 or higher, is capable of causing widespread and heavy damage.

there was no immediate report of damage or casualties.. the tsunami center said the watch was in effect for haiti, the neighboring dominican republic, with which it shares the island of hispaniola, cuba and the bahamas.. "a destructive widespread tsunami threat does not exist based on historical earthquake and tsunami data," the center said.

The UK is trying to get a search-rescue team out there - but at the moment they can't even leave the country because the airports are having trouble from the snow and ice.

The Government is mentioning having the RAF to fly them out though - hopefully very soon.

I think he was saying that when you try to create new knowledge, the only tool we have as humans is our imagination. The creation of new rational paradigms is itself an irrational process.
