Texas, Astronomy, Austin, TX Lines: 23 The contrast between religious and non-religious ways of thinking are a source of curiousity for me. For instance the original article is a classic in the sense that there is hardly a line that I can agree with. Look at the arrogance of the author when he writes: > ... For there is no wisdom we can aquire, there is no love we can share, > there is no joy we can feel, and there is no hope for the future that does > not come through our first standing at the foot of the Cross. Here he claims that non-christians are without wisdom, without love, without joy, and without hope for the future. I may not have wisdom, but I sure as hell have all the rest in this list. Therefore Peter is in error when he wrote the above. The interesting question now is whether he will demonstrate some of his self declared wisdom and retract (or qualify) the above assertion.
