Post 2.3

Not sure what the next poll will cover, but I'm looking forward to your answers. Here's your daily dose:

1. Christianity agrees with Dualism that this universe is at war. But it does not think this is a war between independent powers; it thinks it is a civil war, a rebellion, and that we are living in a part of the universe occupied by the rebel. Enemy occupied territory...that is what this world is. Christianity is the story of how the rightful King has landed, you might say landed in disguise, and is calling us all to take part in a great campaign of sabotage.
2. Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.
3. Their are two kinds of scientific progress: the methodical experimentation and categorization which gradually extend the boundaries of knowledge, and the revolutionary leap of genius which redefines and transcends those boundaries. Acknowledging our debt to the former, we yearn nonetheless for the latter.
4. Cities fall...but they are rebuilt. And heroes die...but they are remembered. We honor them with every brick we lay...with every field we sow...with every child we comfort and then teach to rejoice in what we have been regiven. Our planet. Our home. So now...let us begin.
5. And the three men I admire most; Father, Son , and the Holy Ghost; they caught the last train for the coast; the day...the music...died.

Discuss.
