God did not intend evil to endure. He did not endow it with lasting power as He did good: the power of good is unlimited. That is the difference between good and evil, the only real difference. People believe them to be equally strong but they are not. The forces of Hell are not equal to the forces of Heaven. Therefore, in electing to go toward the positive pole, you enter into the realm of unlimited time and space, Infinity and Eternity, God Himself.</i>gehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02015936407999495181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-66261901181032100542012-01-31T15:25:59.965-08:002012-01-31T15:25:59.965-08:00LOL! that list proves Bob's a Word meister ext...LOL! that list proves Bob's a Word meister extrajordinairs! <br />chez nous we say Oui & might add:<br />Mind with a capital M, Self with a capital S, I with a capital I, <br />E-I-E-I-OH!gehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02015936407999495181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-3696447886340767662012-01-31T15:24:12.794-08:002012-01-31T15:24:12.794-08:00Telos -- the Alfred Hitchcock of LifeTelos -- the Alfred Hitchcock of Lifemushroomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651027035577798096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-17142303705848321092012-01-31T13:51:58.388-08:002012-01-31T13:51:58.388-08:00"Note that governments do not have "righ..."Note that governments do not have "rights."

As Spitzer describes elsewhere, man is always and everywhere aware of "the unrestricted, the unconditional, and the perfect," not just in truth, but love, goodness, beauty, and being as such. <br /><br />To put it another way, man is always in communion with O, or, in other worlds, suspended somewhere between relative and absolute.

As someone who was inclined to pro-choice thinking in the past, it actually got me to firm up a more mature stance on this issue, and ground it in something that was beyond the contempt I may have had for any moral authority.
