I advise you to read The God Delusion by Dawkins.

Now I can make a guess which book you advise me to read...

"From childhood we have watched as everything our ancestors worked for—their flocks and herds, their sons and daughters—was squandered on a delusion." Jeremiah 3:24

Ah, aren't bible quotes taken out of context a beauty? 😉

Thank you. Respect your volition, Aiko. Entertain zero illusions about the merit of tit for tat, debaters' technique or other cheap shots.

It's absolute folly and bad manners to ever attempt to benefit anybody against their will. Besides, the Scripture must be taught from

the original languages by a qualified and prepared pastor-teacher, diligently excercising his gift. Reading the Bible randomly on your own

would only slightly improve your appreciation of Shakespeare. -gb 🙂

The Duke of Marlborough, John Churchill's Lady... 1800's I think.

This lady? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Churchill%2C_Duchess_of_Marlborough
So why do you want me to acquaint myself with her?

Simply to share my appreciation of her beauty. Day or two, I'll give

you a quote of her words to wannabe suitors following John's death.

Preview: John Churchill so filled her soul that even after his death,

even up until she herself died, she never was tempted by another.

Looking at YOU... not your general forum posts or your profile or your stats or your graph or your avatar or your photo or your games or your

personal messages. No, no, no. Right at this moment we're looking directly into each other's eyes, an intense eyelock. Just me and you.

Behind those eyes there are two fro as much as what you think.


"As a man thinketh, so he is." Proverbs 23:7.

Grampy,

You can show them the opening, you can describe the outside in vivid detail, you can even draw them a picture...but for most of these luddites, their thoughts will never venture beyond these cave walls.

The Alchemist, nor The Prophet will make any difference to the Lives of these Pi's.

But keep trying. It's much more interesting than the irreverance of the irrelevant. 😉

Nordlys, here's the quote I promised you....


"If I was young and beautiful, as I once was, instead of old and faded as I am, and you could lay the empire of world

at my feet, you should never share the heart and head that belonged to John, Duke of Marlborough."



Notes: Written by the Duchess of Marlborough (quite sure Sarah was her first name) to the Duke of Somerset (one of her many suitors)
in a letter declining his proposal of marriage. At the time she was fifty five years old, still strikingly beautiful and anything but 'old
and faded'. Quite a gal. John Churchill, by the way, was an ancestor of Winston Churchill.

Coalescence of soul is the driver in marriage and, if mixed with trust

and loyalty, to a different degree the long term basis of friendship.

So agree with your mortality point. Inner beauty improves with age.


Thanks.

I thought unplanned pregnacy was the driver.

Laughing. Guess one drives happiness, the other unhappiness. 🙂

No need to be sorry. Big shoulders and strong arms. No worries. Just pleases me that you felt free to get your oar in and opine. Love I've

found would have to do with the recovery of my long time fascination with chess and affection/respect of a few new friends and opponents.

Well good for you dear!

I didn't even realise I had offered an opinion but well done for spotting one. 😉
