Subject: RE: BS: The Pope in America
Nope, Shimrod, the God aspect of life is a matter of sheer belief. I choose to believe, and it has been a good choice for me. It has given me a positive outlook on life and pushed me toward serendipity instead of safer choices. It has made me more generous and more adventuresome that I might be otherwise. I take risks because I somehow feel that God will take care of things, and that has given me a richer and fuller life. As the Good Book says, I have been rewarded a hundredfold for risking to be generous and serendipitous. If that's not the right choice for somebody else, then I hope they will feel free to choose what they wish.
But for me, it works.
And it also makes me believe that the laws of science, nature, and physics are a blessing. That also has worked well for me. Maybe it's just Norman Vincent Peale's Power of Positive Thinking. I dunno, but it works for me.
