Interesting how the 'so-called liberals' SAY they like to champion the 'discriminated'..and abhor bigotry....except when it comes to people like pete, who say they believe in God!

Tunesmith: "What inspires an athlete to put his body through the rigours of training?
God, of course!
What inspires nurses to work in dangerous war-torn countries.
God, of course!
What inspires a teacher to work in a horrendous inner-city school!
God, of course!"

You're way off...Beethoven said: ""The vibrations on the air are the breath of God speaking to man's soul. Music is the language of God. We musicians are as close to God as man can be. We hear his voice, we read his lips, we give birth to the children of God, who sing his praise. That's what musicians are."
― Ludwig van Beethoven

MUSIC and musicians!!...not athletes, not nurses, not teachers...MUSICIANS! That's what HE was talking about....now, if you can't fathom it, yet he defined it, who are you, or anyone able to disallow his eyewitness account, just because your lesser mind, cannot grasp it. He was using the terminology he had. You are perfectly illustrating my example of someone who's got their head up their ass, saying that there is no such thing as fresh air!!...or course there isn't where your(generically) head is!

Hey, completely different subject...think back to the mid 60's...does Prentiss in Malibu mean anything to you?...a place you may have worked at nights?? and writing during your shift....and would you first initial be 'J'??...either J.H. or J. W.??
