Hi Andrew...Let me remind you that I'm not the one preaching God, or God's existance. Im not going to theorize and build a fairy tale argument with you. that is not my purpose.A flash of freedom. My grandmothers were not born legally persons under the laws of canada. Women still do not have equal rights, our ability to lead to be called equal is constantly being challenged. Racism is not going away. Hate flares up every time a religion gets it's ego bruised. Children have no rights, they are becoming more stressed than the adults. Guns in schools, the Americans lose freedoms with every time there is a christian revival. Last time out they elected Hitler, that is exactly what Bush was like.. If we don't move foward and take back our freedoms, by walking away from religion they will keep pushing forward till they make it law that we must go to church, they are too close to that already. When leaders have to thump bible to get elected, We are losing the war. That is not what I mean when I refer to you age.. We all begin like you, the new thinkers.. in 20 years from now you'll look back and see how much more one learnes by living life not being educated about it.. SCience don't know... the planet does not have signs of life, lakes mountains..When life begins it is very very durable.. we just got the pictures back from rover. rover says nohing there man. wishing things don't make them real. When I was raising my son I learned from him.. My mother cursed me and said she hoped I had a kid just like me. My mother figuring I'm a curse. What I noticed in raising Jake is that he is very smart, and that can be frustrating on a parent. My parents choice was to try to beat me into submission... My choice was to keep up with the kid.. that means thinking learning as he challenged me. it made me smarter, perhaps that is the problem with adults. But when it comes to world views, the older you get the broader your knowledge of it gets. School isn't the most honest place to learn.. Learning occurs outside of shcool. every challenge you face is a learning experience. When you are young you always have someone writting the rules for you. It's when you understand how to let go of their bad advice, bad judgement, when you have to face the world alone. Do you live alone?, Raising kids is another of life's great teachers.. You have so many things yet to experience. most of what you are discovering on your blog, I have read a very long time ago.. another advantage of age, we get the news papers closer to the history than the younger generation. I was born in a time of great change, I see us back sliding . I see many of my generation and the generation before me still trying to explain freedom. We did not grow up in a vacuum. I have already been through the path of everyone else's opinion. I listened I heard, now it's time for me to explain what I heard.. At your age that is what I did. listened and learned. Gypsy
