Friday morning tidbits

Finally I know what to call George Bush's appearance: a bewildered monkey stare (Mark Morford, San Francisco Chronicle, 8/26/05) . Mr. Morford also helps me anwser that question about belief in God when I must first ask the question "What or who is God?" His definition is that "god" is nothing more than a raw hot energy that permeates all things at all times in all places. So true as it is the creative force that exists in everything but it is not some bearded old man sitting up there somewhere watching over everything. This "life force" is not supernatural, it is just that part of life which we are examining and seeking to understand and better utilize in our quest to become better individuals. We can make the electrons, protons, neutrons, the "dark matter" and everything else that exists in the universe personal but supernatural they are not. We just don't yet understand all the properties of these things. We may never but that doesn't give us reason to create a religion and then try to cram it down everyone's throats.
