-> 
->...a show about the
-> survivors of David Koresh's cult.
-> 
-> I expected to hear a lot of anger expressed, but I didn't see any.
-> Just sadness. Especially from those they interviewed, who were little
kids
-> when the standoff occured.

It is really difficult to get behind someone's eye balls...and see things
exactly as otherz do...

-> 
-> Only one person, an adult, still worshipped Koresh.

I wonder what she had that she needed.
I also wonder if someone came to her and said "He lives!" and He is coming
back!
How deeply would you need for that to be true for it to be believed?
*********
How many people think they are sinners, deserving divine punishment --
and think that Atheism solves THAT problem?
*********
Did you know that Spiritists (A group formed in 1850) believes that
Jesus' reference to "many mansions" refers to other civilizations on other
planets? Cool beans for 1850

Re: Muslims --The Little Mosque on the Prairie" is in its third very
successful season; a charming comedy.
I never met a Muslim I didn't like. I think of Muslim terrorists as I do
Jonestown Christians. Ugly distortions of the teachings of great men.

Most all religions just have funny ways of saying pretty much the same
thing.

If Angels were strings (proto-quarks) BILLIONS of them could dance on the
head of a pin!

The Ultraverse spews out an infinite numbers of multiverses, who spew out
an infinite number of universes, in one of which you exist. It took 13
Billion years to form earth life, and your consciousness. In another 3
billion the sun will die; the earth will melt. 
Among the remains of existence across galaxy and galaxy, universe after
universe, only one hint, one trace of Human existence will be  known: A
Volume of The Collected Poems of John Wilson. Some of them will be mighty
difficult to understand, especially the Xzglvbk's non-corporeal nature, and
the Sizzessezz's electro-color language...Ah, well such is life, or its
equivalent.

Is everyone as bored by this as Tim? (Sniffle, whimper...)
