skip and belle spent a lot of time in church.

belle liked the stained glass windows, the colors it gives to the light coming in and how it gave you such a rich view.

skip liked the regular windows, where you can see through the transparent glass and percieve things outside clearly.

interesting article in time magazine (sept 2006, p. 50) - jesus said, "for what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?

this article states that a growing number of christians say" the question is better restated, 'why not gain the whole world plus my soul?'......

christians should keep an eye on heaven.

i started a thread after i finished the first chapter of this book entitled something like, i'm an atheist.

i finished chapter three and i have to backtrack a bit, but i also feel the need to explain why since i was so vocal.. first, let me say that i think everyon should read the first two chapters of the god delusion by richard dawkins.

he brings up some very important points about religion and about science's place in our world.
