Julie, i...That Bill Fay guy again. He's good.<br /><br />Julie, it's just that every once in a while I manage to pick up the signal from that Classic Rock Lightwave station you listen to.

Doesn't it?<br /><br />Kind of ties into your comment the other day at OC about God is available to all people no matter what intellectual gifts they were given. (or maybe that was my interpretaion of what you said).<br /><br />Good, no, excellent analogy (metaphor?) julie.<br /><br />Secular goodness only has so much staying power. Are you willing to give up your life for a set of secular moral behaviors originating from natural selection pressures upon groups to enhance group survival?<br /><br />Didn't think so.John Lienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02302615225311776021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133335371844144872.post-6732093980403761902014-08-27T20:23:56.558-05:002014-08-27T20:23:56.558-05:00Under the clouds on a moonless night far from shor...<i>Under the clouds on a moonless night far from shore, the only way to get home is to accept the truth your compass shows you. If you don’t believe it, you will never make it back.</i><br /><br />In my head again, I see. <br /><br />Just the other day, I was thinking that the past couple generations of secular society are like people with faulty compasses. They point a particular way, but the attraction is weak or the needle is stuck, and so the read isn't reliable, and they lose their way. Then, when they would pass the compass on to their children, they can't really explain what it leads to, or if it serves any purpose that isn't purely ceremonial. The children, in their turn, think the compass is worthless, and that they can make their own way based on their own set of rules, which don't need a compass anyway. And so they go farther and farther astray - beyond lost, they don't even understand there is something they were supposed to be heading toward, and that it would be good for them to get there. Their path is easy, and wide, and always slopes downhill; what could go wrong?juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133335371844144872.post-11883147028282448522014-08-27T19:29:37.553-05:002014-08-27T19:29:37.553-05:00I'm not sure why, but this song immediately po...I'm not sure why, but this song immediately popped into my head upon reading this. Probably something as simple as the title, and Bill Fay is one of them. Anyway, you've got a soundtrack now for today's blog. :-)<br />robinstarfishhttp://robinstarfish.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
