Kanada Kev Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 That's not a "my bad". That should be a "my good". I totally feel that this is a relevant forum for threads that are religious in their subject matter. Can I hear a Hellelujah? ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d_rawk Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 (edited) Ah, but where is the checkbox for, say, 'the unshakeable conviction of deep mystery and wonder, for which the mundane can not -- or at least does not -- account?', or for 'the recognition that paradox need not be reconciled, but ought be celebrated?' Where would we have an Abraham Joshua Heschel tick, who famously penned "I did not ask for success; I asked for wonder." (and followed, tellingly -- "and you gave it to me") [edit:] To be clear, though - AMEN, brutha. Fully in support of a religion/politics confluence in the politics forum. Indisputably inextricable.
