I have decided to start a thread somewhat based upon Ivanhoe's wuote of the day, but limit to what I hope will be timely and thought provoking ideas around the theme of religious thought. Its purpose is not to evangelize, shame or the like. Simply to explore and inspire.


In honor of Memorial Day

Democracy is based upon the conviction that there are extraordinary possibilities in ordinary men.

Uhm, that's like Garrison Keillor saying ''all children are above average''. If they have 'extraordinary' potential, they are extraordinary, or their potential is ordinary.

Oh well, I thought it was a good idea. It's not like I quoted Jimmy Swaggert, but that might be more entertaining. ๐Ÿ˜‰

it is a great idea (i was merely amusing myself).

here's my contribution:

A dear old Quaker lady was asked to explain her obviously youthful appearance, her appealing vivacity and her winning charm. She replied sweetly, "I used for the lips - truth; for the voice - prayer; for the eyes - pity; for the hands - charity; for the figure - uprightness; for the heart - love."
How's that for a makeup kit?

Rabbi Abraham R. Besdin

in friendship,

"Do not , as some ungracious pastors do, show me the steep and thorny way to heaven; Whiles, like a puff'd and reckless libertine, himself the primrose path of dalliance tread, and recks not his own rede (follows not his own rules)." Ophelia from Hamlet (Shakespeare)

Gen.1

[1] In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
[2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
[3] And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

"We have been so brainwashed, so victimized, so conditioned by the organized, institutionalized churches and we equate the Christian faith with these most evil of institutions, those high spires, and stained glass, and big bells, and silver chalices , and parking lots, and Betty Crocker kitchens for the sacrament of coffee hours...Now brothers and sisters, ain't that a bitch" Will Campbell
