ID vs. Science? Try 'Did Jesus exist?'

An Italian court is going to hear arguments about the rights of the church to teach that Christ existed. A case of course brought about by an avid anti-catholic. Best line is from the plaintiff "It would take a miracle to win."

Good Book


I am currently reading Nonviolent Communication: A Language Of Life By Marshall Rosenburg Ph.D. it is an excellent resource in learning to listen, to communicate and in aiding those of us who have learned to numb out our feelings, to feel again...and then there is this fantasy football league I belong to...joking.

Outlined is a three stage process of escape from emotional slavery to to liberation ;

Stage 1-Emotional Slavery: We see ouselves responsible for other's feelings.

Stage 2-"Obnoxious": We feel angry we no longer want to be responsible for others feelings.

Stage 3- Emotional Liberation: We take responsiblity for our intentions and actions.

I would consider myself to be at at stage 2.

The forward by Arun Gandi, the flower and earth motif, all said 'new age li li contiousness', at first, but then I saw it was endorsed by John Gray (Men are from Mars women are from Venus). This very large lettered, well captioned book has great excersises for learning to have compassion and bring it out in others. A must have. I may need to get the companion workbook.
