He was also proof -- as are so many today, that cleverness does not equate to clear thinking. <br /><br />I do sneak over to Cracked 'cause sometimes I just need a cheap laugh.mushroomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651027035577798096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133335371844144872.post-69888478411172019482014-05-15T17:25:06.159-05:002014-05-15T17:25:06.159-05:00George Carlin once asked, if we are here to help o...<i>George Carlin once asked, if we are here to help others, what are the others here for?</i><br /><br />The problem with his question is, it presumes there are people who are help, but never tasked to help, and vice versa.<br /><br />Sometimes, we give, and that is a blessing.

And when you are a pastor as he is, you have to be extra careful that you keep everybody in the bus. It's dangerous out there for sheep without a shepherd. Most people just want to be part of the flock and stick with everybody else. If that's the way someone wants to think then forming an instant opinion based on the "accepted" doctrine is the way to go.<br /><br />We may get in a little trouble being a little more open, but I don't think it hurts too much.

That's kind of a, what's the word, nuanced, belief.<br /><br />I am losing the temptation, when reading about such ideas to form an instant opinion on them. These days, I hear the idea, let is soak in maybe see if it fits in the jigsaw puzzle of my understanding of the Truth. Often it is a time-delayed aha!<br /><br />Not sure if this is good doctrine but your post reminded me of <a href="http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=its+all+for+the+best+godspel&FORM=VIRE3#view=detail&mid=40CDE740CA6F7CCE030140CDE740CA6F7CCE0301" rel="nofollow">this</a>.
