I did, so I took a different route, which was fun,
a mouthorgan playing driver, (though not while he was driving) as well was.
He had his own musik with him, short bursts of blues, jazz he seemed to have difficulty sitting still, nevertheless pretty amusing.
@Fizzywig - I was drawing contrast between like ideas. In a similar way, having hope in someone (like a president) to do what you won't do yourself for your surroundings or job or country .. can kind of poison the future. If the hope is the reason for "not doing anything" then this kind of hope is a poison.
This is different than working together with the person to make a future. In the same way, those who partner with God to make the world a better place today, are not doing a bad thing ... however, those who hope in the pastor for ministry programs, and hope in the ministry team for an emotional breakthrough, are discounting the opportunities God has given them in life.
It has been quite a while since some sort of crazy event has happened, I guess that would be a blessing? unless you like interesting times
I guess these times have an interest in themselves ... but are rather boring in the sense that the events seems to be a mimickry of the previous set of decades.
@Fizzywig - The world to come is pretty hopeless right now, so giving up hardly helps anyone. In believing nothing, the word reconciliation is a curious word, as it implies a relationship. What reconciliation are you seeking?
Given your own Faith, what does the "reconciliation of all things" mean? What would be your hope?
As I see it one component of reconciliation is to recognise that the "wrath" of God (or gods) is a product of the infant mind of the human race, as is the thought of Gods who need to incarnate and sacrifice themselves for the "sins" of the world.
Mythology is worth study and has much to teach regarding the human situation, but to see such things as historical fact within time/space history is to my own mind misguided and in fact invites the very things it is claimed to heal.
