Here's something I read today, and I was wondering what your take upon it is:
"If the work of God could be
comprehended by reason, it would
be no longer wonderful, and faith
would have no merit if reason
provided proof."
--Pope Gregory I
I think mankind is divided into two schools of thought, People of Faith and people of Thought/Reason (I like to call them the School of Jeruselem and the School of Athens, respectavly) always seem to me to be rather and serene and at ease, regardless of their faith, while of reason seem rather dour and concerned. What do YOU think?
Oh, and here's a picture of our " Floating Market" where fresh (caught that morning) Red Snapper, Sea Bass and Sword Fish costs about $2 a kilo.

Indeed. That is why man invented God in the first place, because he simply could not wrap his mind around both the immensity and the intricacy, the sheer wonder of life. Man needs a God, a reason he can accept without comprehending, because it makes him feel safe in a big unknown universe.
I consider you my friend.
Ps... It's not a chain letter but you should pass it on to your friends!
