I just shake my head...Imal, you must read "Answer to Job" by CC Jung to understand my silence on this issue.

Actually, I think I already understand your silence quite well, if you know what I mean. I am a rather charred moth myself.

But in the chaotic and tumultuous wasteland that threads such as these inevitably become, your words are as clear and refreshing as cool spring water. Even in the driest desert, there can be an oasis.

And perhaps that's why, after so many nights of circling too close to the flame, when darkness falls again, we dust the soot off our wings, gather our strength and take flight toward the candle yet again.

Because in doing so, we draw closer to that which we seek: the light of truth.

Another good and thoughtful reply. I'm a former Christian too. A former Southern Baptist to boot! I understand where you are coming from. The fire and brimstone christians just don't get it. These Christian's entire life is spent saying."Father save me for I have sinned." My life has been spent saying,"Father bless me for I am good." Again, they will not even understand where I am coming from.
