"Let's go to the circus tomorrow if -God willing-
we're still alive; and if not, let's go on Tuesday."

Vicki, as a writer, I like that. Don't know who said it, but I read it the other day.

Who said this?

"I'm not young enough to know everything."

Paul Graham?

while I was googling the quote I came across this blog.

I believe Eagle Heart summed it up quite well when she said her eyes were blinded and now all she can see when she reads scripture is the unity in diversity, god (little god) is homogenous with every religion and creed..
Rev. 20th chapter basically sums up this whole topic: John the revelator speaks: " I saw a great white throne with someone sitting on it. Earth and heven tried to run away, but there was no place for them to go. I also saw all the dead people standing in front of that throne. Every one of them was there, no matter who they had once been. Several books were opened, and then the book of life was opened. The dead were judged by what those books said they had done.
The sea gave up the dead people who were in it, and death and its kingdom also gave up their dead. Then everyone was judged by what they had done. Afterwards, death and its kingdom were thrown into into the lake of fire. This is the second death. Anyone whose name wasn't written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire."
Gee, maybe that's what Pat Robertson fears most in life. Maybe he gets it, and you have been deceived. There's a morsel to toss about. What if Pat is right???...

OOps, that's heaven. I mistype once in a while, but I'm willing to stake my life on the truth of the very word of God thatI read in the Bible and they aren't open to interpretation. Facts are facts. Absolutes are absolutes. Even Johnny Cash 'When the Man Comes to Town' and Alanis Morrisset 'What If God Was One of Us' have that much in common.
