I ask myself these questions silently and inwardly: How may I atone for helping to poison America with certainty addiction? How do I defend my grandchildren against the religious right juggernaut I helped create? How do I reject what my parents stood for (fundamentalist fanaticism) and yet honor the love they gave me? How can I help my grandchildren stumble upon the goodness of life before they’re sold towering mounds of brain-damaging garbage? How do I help save the world? (And what kind of deluded messianic fool am I to believe that this is even possible?)

I will buy your book, Frank, like I’ve bought all your books.
And I will pray for you, Friend . . . please pray for me too . . .
but that “save the world” crap . . . we both know that only Jesus can do that.
3:10 . Jesus ‘ could ‘ save the world … being God incarnate .. but He did not . Whereas we as humans keep on trying though we cannot especially since the Deists * took over the land back in the late 1600’s . Which should tell you if you knew your Bible correctly that it is God who will save the World when He sends His Son back . Whereas for the moment Christ’s role is to save our souls by bridging the gap between ourselves and God the Father thru His Death and Resurrection on the cross . A bit pedantic perhaps …. but in light of the Holy Spirit and Christ heresies permeating the earth since the resurrection …. a necessary pedantic moment indeed ( Reformation Theology 101 )
* the overwhelming majority of the Founding Fathers were Deists not Christians as myth tries to tell us .
PS; If you want to read exactly when it was that all aspects of Biblical Christianity began to go off the rails into abject Americanized Christian heresy read the recently discovered Puritan / Pilgrim William Bradford’s journal ” Of Plymouth Plantation ” especially the last two chapters where he expresses his disgust and regrets for what the colony had become as well as deeply regretting to the end of his days his involvement despite the fact that he was originally one of the founding and most prominent members of the colony .
Suffice it to say I have … finishing the last few pages in tears while gaining the utmost in admiration for a man willing in the end to admit to his mistakes and errors . The very essence of Christian conversion …. culpability and the ability to face up to it . Something todays so called Christians are drastically lacking in
Frank . Got to agree with 3:10 when it comes to saving the world though to put it correctly it is God thru Christ when He sends His Son back who will save the world not Christ himself
A little wisdom I recently tripped across that might serve you as well as it has myself since digesting it Frank . From the annals and thoughts of Friedrich Nietzsche ;
” “Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And when you look into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you.”
In conclusion Frank … in my opinion the RNC broke it and its their responsibility to fix it … cause brother .. its outta the hands of the likes of you and I
One more thing Frank . re; Your book . There are those of us myself included that do no Online financial transactions as well as preferring print over digital by a country mile . So please make it available thusly so that I might buy a copy sometime in the future . Though I’ll hold firm you and I won’t be saving the world or much of anything else for that matter regardless of our efforts .
All we can do is to do what is right …. hold on .. and prepare to duck/run should that become necessary
