In reflective moments I have decided to
put away theology, in terms of theological philosophy around the
world, but personal thoughts that make me, myself, an individual. I
actually have been told I have the qualifications to be a certified
minister, non-denominational, of course – but never had the
inclination to do so. It is not within my character, or being,
to stand before people gathered in some place to preach how they
should run their lives, and other important duties of a true member
of the clergy.

I have always imagined that Paradise would be a kind of library.

So have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?

Freedom of Religion - Freedom from Religion - Freedom of Public Display of Religion and Traditions
We establish no religion in this country, nor will we ever. We command no worship. We mandate no belief. But we poison our society when we remove its theological underpinnings. We court corruption when we leave it bereft of belief. All are free to believe or not believe; all are free to practice a faith or not. But those who believe must be free to speak of and act on their belief.
-- Ronald Reagan (Temple Hillel Speech, 1984)

The first Christmas was probably not on December 24th – a cold,
starry night with one particular star shining to guide those to witness the
birth of a child who would be called “Messiah” and “Son of God” – the messenger
of salvation, hope, promise that earthly life is not the end of one’s life, and
the enlightenment of the soul. There is great debate upon the exact date or
even time of the year.
