Niebuhr thought that sustained moral energy in politics depended on religion's power to mobilize reason along with self-transcending love. The prophetic tradition, meanwhile, gave Jews and Christians some protection against the temptation to identify their social causes with God's will. Lincoln's second inaugural address expressed the prophetic insight, "The almighty has His own purposes."

Doc, I actually LOVED the last sermon, especially the prism idea. But just to balance that out with the Americanized rugged individualism tendency...

Glad y'all are liking this. I'm definitely gonna get some of these for the office...

Heh.

For the unfortunate person who gets caught up in a “sacrifice the rook to take the queen” moment in this Open View "chess game" of life…



Cheers to you, mate…

For Doc...think about this. I think the author's grasp of this is pretty profound...

Profound indeed. The whole Despair.com thing is beyond words. I thought the funniest and most insightful was "Loneliness: If you feel you are alone, you're not. And yet you are. So very alone."

Thanks
Doc

Hey D,

There are some pretty funny one's on that site. Here's a couple that I thought were a hoot.




And for the more serious minded...

True Female Joke

A woman was sitting at a bar enjoying an after-work cocktail with her girlfriends when an exceptionally tall, handsome, extremely sexy middle-aged man entered. He was so striking that the woman could not take her eyes off him.

The young-at-heart man noticed her overly attentive stare and walked directly toward her. (As all men will.) Before she could offer her apologies for so rudely staring, he leaned over and whispered to her, "I'll do anything, absolutely anything, that you want me to do, no matter how kinky, for $20.00.....on one condition."

(There are always conditions) Flabbergasted, the woman asked what the condition was. The man replied, "You have to tell me what you want me to do in just three words." (Controlling huh?)

The woman considered his proposition for a moment, then slowly removed a $20.00 bill from her purse, which she pressed into the man's hand along with her address. She looked deeply into his eyes, and slowly, and meaningfully said.....

"Clean my house."

What a woman!!!

I totally LOVE that place! Its like a breath of stale air...that comic on free will is truly inspirational. I think most of us DO pick our views on free will based on what makes us most comfortable.
