A science professor begins his school year with a lecture to the students,
"Let me explain the problem science has with religion."

The atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks
one of his new students to stand.

"You're a Christian, aren't you, son?"

"Yes sir," the student says.

"So you believe in God?"

"Absolutely."

"Is God good?"

"Sure! God's good."

"Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?"

"Yes."

"Are you good or evil?"

"The Bible says I'm evil."

The professor grins knowingly. "Aha! The Bible!" He considers for a moment.
"Here's one for you. Let's say there's a sick person over here and you can
cure him. You can do it. Would you help him? Would you try?"

"Yes sir, I would."

"So you're good...!"

Looks like google groups screwed up the format, but look anyway.
The photos were between the words. Sorry.

On a lighter note, have a great year everyone.

Hell if you a dumb enough to post on an unmoderated public forum, then
you are "fair game."

Notice the cult-think --there is no such thing as rude, offending,
disrespectful and baiting behavior --you can only feel this way.

Complete license for cult assholes to do whatever they want to
whomever they want. They answer to neither God nor Man. After all, God
is just a "concept."

That's where you get the famous Carrie comment to the effect, that God
does care if you lie about Him.

Lesson 1, Marianne's commentary: 2008-01-01

Spiritual transformation begins with shifting your physical perceptions of
what's real. If you think what you see and hear is all that's real, you'll
be dictated by the limits of your senses.

Extend your perception beyond what your senses register.to what your heart
knows to be true. Be willing to have your eyes opened to the love in any
situation, even when with your physical eyes you cannot see it.

That is the miracle beginning.

Lesson 2, Marianne's commentary: 2008-01-02

In any situation there is a myriad of ways to see something. You take
responsibility for your life by taking responsibility for how you see your
life.what you bring to every moment.

You give each situation all the meaning that it has for you. And any
situation will give to you what you give to it.

The Way Will Open

You must be renewed, remade. Christ, Christ, Christ. Everything must
rest on Me. Force is born of rest. Only Love is a conquering force. Be
not afraid, I will help you.
Be channels both of you. My Spirit shall flow through an my Spirit
shall, in flowing through, sweep away all the bitter past.
Take heart, God loves, God helps, God fights, God wins. You shall see.
You shall know. The way will open. All My Love has ever planned, all
My Love has ever thought, you shall see each day unfold. Only be
taught. Just be a child. A child never questions plans. It accepts
gladly.
