and the Pied Piper's song SEEMS interesting enough

Outstanding post.

One of the best movies I have ever seen is "Bedazzled." I'm talking about the original Dudley Moore and Peter Cooke film. I haven't seen the remake with Elizabeth Hurley and I don't plan to. The premise of the original was that Dudley Moore sold his soul to the devil (Peter Cooke) for seven wishes. The point of the movie was that each wish would be slightly skewed by Satan so that it never brought the fulfillment that was promised. It always ended in frustration and pain.

That's what sin is about. It looks like life, but it is really death. It looks sweet, but it is really sour. As a very wise man said once, "There is a way that seems righ to a man, but the end thereof is death."

Shalom.

For sure.

And our arrogance is that we can out bargain, out negotiate, out fox and if necessary out run the fellow who attempted to take God's place.

THANKS for your kind comments.

and you ask for evidence of a declining moral standard?.
