CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Girl: Do not try to say what color the sky is; that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth.
WF: What truth?
Girl: There is no sky.
WF: There is no sky?
Girl: Then you will see, it is not the sky that has color, it is only yourself.

Yes, I agree with SimplyMe. The concepts of "blue" and "sky", exist only within ourselves.

Depends on how you define the sky- space is empty and apppears black. The molecules of air and water that make up our atmosphere absorb all frequencies but refract those in the visible spextrum, specifically blue.
And right now it's night, so the sky looks black. With that, I'm off to sleep.

Here's why the sky is blue. It's not actually because of the reflection of the water only.
But in some parts of the world it's black and gray. ):

Other, the color of the sky depends on the situation in which one views it.
Right now, the sky is a deep indigo where I am. However, it could be black if you're less aware of color variations. And it looks closer to black farther from the almost full moon.
Tomorrow, the sky will be blue. Unless it's cloudy.

Could that contain deep spiritual metaphors, or am I just reading in to things too much?

In Obtuse Fundy fashion:
"YOU BLASPHEMOUS HEATHEN PERVERTS!!! THE BIBLE SAYS THE SKY IS BLACK AND RED NOT BLUE!
NO AMOUNT OF "SCIENCE" OR "OBSERVATION" CAN DISPROVE THE WORD OF GOD!!!!!!!! "SCIENTISTS" WILL NEVER FIND A BLUE SKY GENE!!! YOU'RE GOING TO HELL!"
Matthew 16:3
and in the morning, 'Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.
1 Kings 18:45
45 Meanwhile, the sky grew black with clouds, the wind rose, a heavy rain came on and Ahab rode off to Jezreel.
NOT BLUE!!! AND NOT JUST BLACK!!! YOU VILE SINNERS!!!
