| Thanks, Isher. I would have made that point, but it's more credible coming from one whom I assume is less opinionated toward favoring faith than I am.
As for you, freak, dream on. Ever since Darwin and even before, detractors have hailed the final and glorious demise of Christianity, and as far as I can tell, they are still holding their breaths. The Vandals and Visigoths thought Christianity would fall with the Roman Empire. The Bolsheviks thought they could replace Christianity with Communism. Christianity yet thrives long after the Bolsheviks have fallen. Man-made ideologies and sciences have come and gone but Christianity remains. Further, I find it intersting that you back up the demise of one set of faith-based beliefs with the rise of another, right after you indicate a more cerebral approach. That's some fuzzy logic. Maybe we are not being led by our brains so much as we would like to think, eh?
If you really want to know, I once heard a figure that said Jedi is the fastest growing religion in Great Britain...for what it's worth.
Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. -- Song 8:6 |
