moonlapse - i think if we as humanity can (someday) let go of our postmodernism extremes, and the fear of seeming politically incorrect, both of which run rampant today, we can admit to ourselves that in all honesty there probably is an absolute truth, and that we aren't smart enough to know what the right way is, unless someone perfect tells us. everyone has their time tho i guess.
something to comfort us - the first psalm begins like this:
"Blessed is the man
. . who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
. . or stand in the way of sinners
. . or sit in the seat of mockers.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
. . and on his law he meditates day and night.
3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water,
. . which yields its fruit in season
. . and whose leaf does not wither.
. . Whatever he does prospers."
ps 1:1-3
