Your post #1635 was very thoughtful and eloquent...and I could not help myself, but think, that what you state in this post is so very close to how I also believe, and am grateful for your thoughts, on this matter...
I was especially struck by your quote from Lucretius, and how wise it appears to be...could our contemplation of the universe with a tranquil mind actually take place, perhaps true piety would replace the false piety seen all too often on these threads...
Thanks for your thoughts, I for one, very much appreciated them...
Thank you for your kind words.
