My W has her daily devotion books and today's article was depicting how cruel animals are, where one animal eats another animal to survive and comparing the love for fellow man as written about in her devotional litature, as a much better thing to think about, as more enlightening.
On one level, the daily devotion was slamming Charles Darwin and suggesting being happy with God's love. My W was trying to get me to read her devotional books and quit watching and reading about what I consider "how the universe works."
She seems upset with the Darwin's writings, upset with the expanding universe and the what is called "The Big bang" and that I don't buy the idea the Earth is 6K years old.
Bottom line is nothing romantic is going to happen between us, it will be distant roomies at best, so why not just go for what I believe to be the truth instead of some writings where everything is all laid out nice and neat in one book?
I said people can be kind to others without a carrot or a stick, just because it leads to a better life style for all, or it would if more people lived that way.
I have the killer argument to ditch the Intelligent Design fable: The Human Knee.
No omniscient, omnipotent, infallible God would have designed something that shoddy.
Just wouldn't happen. Hence: no Intelligent Design.
Bumbling incompetent design, maybe ....
By the way, I've said this in other places: any kind of devotionals are a major major red flag to me.
It doesn't matter if it's religion, socialism, New Age, animal rights ... zealots don't have room for other humans in their lives.
Stay clear, or, better yet, run for your life. Unless you stick around for the entertainment value, but usually there's only CRINGE.
