Path, The same scholar no doubt provided this gem:
You wouldn't think of choosing to eat a meal of filthy garbage, would you? What, then, if you are continually exposed to mental garbage? It is bound to become part of your thinking. When watching a motion picture, you are, in effect, associating with the kinds of persons being portrayed on the screen. And movies are deliberately designed to involve you emotionally with the characters, often arousing sympathy for the wrongdoer-the fornicator, the homosexual, even murderer. Do you want to get involved in such a way with homosexuals, lesbians, fornicators, adulterers and criminals?
And this:
And consider this: How did the majority of homosexuals get to be that way? By spending time thinking about it and by associating
with others who were that way.-Y2 p120-121 -

AH, If you've changed your name to AH, why not Arrrggh, like the Castle Arrrggh from the Monty Python movie? King Arthur and Sir Bedevere came across this castle during their quest for the grail, but were forced to "run away" by animal-throwing French Knights(one of them posts here). To further elaborate on my inspiration statements: IMO, if a writing was inspired by God
any who study it would find some truth there about the human soul-truths about himself. Within the pages God can be found, and maybe some reading
it will find in his heart that such a thing as God
exists. Maybe it doesn't work like this for everyone, but for some it does. I think many people long for God or for something to fulfill their needs and desires. The authors of the Bible believed they were guided by God's spirit. We can decide to believe what they wrote about Jesus to be true, just as we believe what historians write about wars or events of their time. -

Most victims of domestic violence are women. They come from all walks of life and neighborhoods. Domestic violence occurs within a family or intimate relationship as a way to control another person. Victims suffer physical injury, live in fear in their homes, and lose power over their lives. Domestic violence includes: physical abuse,
mental abuse, sexual abuse, and property or economic abuse(destruction of property or withholding of basic needs). If any of this is happening to you, you can get help.
*
Leaving a violent relationship isn't easy. Women may stay because of money, family pressures, concern for their children, fear of or feelings for their abusers. Whether you leave or stay, you can get free help and information from domestic violence programs. No matter where you live, help is just a phone call away. Call the domestic violence program in your area for more information. To locate the phone number: 1. look in your phone book's blue pages under Abuse/Assault 2. call directory assistance 3. ask someone you trust(doctor, nurse, teacher, friend, co-worker). There are telephone hotlines that operate 24 hours a day, and all calls are confidential. Counselors are ready to answer your call and provide emergency help; call the police if you request; provide information on emergency housing, medical care and legal choices. If you simply need to talk, they will be there to listen.
Counseling centers offer free, private counseling to help you as you sort out your feelings. you can meet and talk with other women who are in abusive relationships as well as those who have left their abusers. Workers will make you aware of your legal rights, housing, public assistance, school and job information and will help with the police, courts, and social service agencies. They often can assist with transportation or accompany you to important appointments. Shelters and Safe Homes are an option available to you, where you can stay free from harm while you decide what to do. The addresses of most shelters and allsafe homes are private. All contact with domestic violence programs is confidential. You can take legal action. Domestic violence is a crime. Legal protections are available. You can file criminal charges against your abuser and/or ask the court to issue a Protection From Abuse order(PFA)to stop
your abuser from hurting you and your children. You do not need a PFA to file criminal charges, and you do not need to file criminal charges to get a PFA. A judge may grant a PFA order to: keep your abuser away from you and your family, home, and where you work; give you temporary custody of your children; make your abuser pay support or take away your abuser's weapons. In some states, you do not need a lawyer to get a PFA. Develop a safety plan. A domestic violence program can help you get out. NATIONAL

On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden,
And the words they say
Which we won't understand.
Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away
*
It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting it's shroud
Over all we have known
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we're all alone
In the dream of the proud
*
On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite
In a silent accord
Using words you will find are strange
And mesmerised as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night
*
No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away?-Pink FloydEdited by - sevenofnine on 22 September 2000 21:34:41

AhHah,
I assure you that is not what I am about.
I realize that's not what you're about. I have a tendency to be blunt and to the point. I was not accusing you of being disingenuous, you are a breath of fresh air here at Planet Simon.
Do you believe men were moved by God's spirit to write the Bible? Inspiration can be measured by its effects. Are men who attempt to conduct their lives by it's precepts better men for this endeavor? I'm not certain exactly where I stand on this subject. Jesus is the key as I mentioned in another post. If Jesus was not the messiah there is no reason to believe. I feel it's a waste of time arguing such matters as how much time was consumed during the creation of the world. Search for the existance of Jesus on earth.
That will keep us all busy for awhile. BTW, I liked your quote too.
