I have decided something...



Timmy has way too much time on his hands!


Seriously, Timmy, what kind of archival system do you have, to pull these up consistently??

It's called Google!

Actually, I found the Dilbert randomly when I followed a news link somewhere.

I still owe you all a review of "Jesus Interrupted", and a review of that review Miz posted. (Finished the book quite some time ago. Sorry! )

What To Believe

I forgot about one of the factors. And it's a biggie! The thread about fear being the missing ingredient for revival reminded me of it, and that factor, of course, is fear!

Now, for fear to work properly, the message has to include some horrible thing (eternal torture is a good one) and a way to avoid it. The way to avoid it, of course, to believe certain things (and, having believed them, following the instructions therein). Thus, fear is a great motivator to believe those things, assuming, of course, that you believe the threat given.

It's quiet out there. Yeah. Too quiet!

Any comments? Anyone agree that fear is a good motivator to believe certain ways (in obedience to the command to believe - or else)? Anyone disagree?

Let me put it this way: should unbelievers be scared?
