Re: [atlarge-discuss] What Religion are you ? 1 to 10 ?

[Eric Dierker <eric@hi-tek.com>]

In the words of the Van Morrison; 
"when will i ever learn"  A great thing for anyone to do who cannot afford a 
space shuttle ride, is ride in something like a U2 and look down from fifty 
thousand feet up.  There are no apparent boundaries.  There is no 
turbulence.
A white out in snow in the Alps is similar experience, when you cannot see 
two feet to the cliff lying before you.
However in the firmament we live and Jim's comments rock our solid ground.
As a Lay Eucharistic minister in the Episcipal church and a studying 
bodhisattva I take no offense from Jim. I further take no offense at dotGOD.
Perhaps if we bring some truth and spirituality into this process we may do 
better. 
We must learn from the strong that overturn the money changer's tables in 
the synagogue known as ICANN.
It is not about worship, but about the money that is the religion of too 
many.
