I'm not *entirely* sure what is expected of me here. Presumably, you expect
me to swoon with horror at your carefully inserted (and rather silly, I
might say so) blasphemy. yes?
Not a chance - I've lived long enough to hear most of the profanities that
men employ when mocking the Saviour (although, doubtless, you have a few
more stashed away with which you will regale me)
We, Mr Donkey, are as frail as eggshells and as transient as grass. Men
recoil before the prospect of eternity (particularly so when they have
nagging foreboding about their own fate) and, in the best tradition of the
gallows humourist, will usually attempt to deride and ridicule that which
they secretly fear.
Life is all about choices - that's why we're here. You make your choice and
then you die with it (and, before you start caterwauling about an unjust God
who wickedly consigns people to hell, blah, blah, blah...) remember that we
*have* a choice. If we make the wrong one, then the fault lies with us,
surely?
Ahhhhh...Mr Donkey - truly, we are children of dust. A neighbour of mine
fell ill at the beginning of October ( a man who had never had a day's
serious illness in his life, btw) He will not see this Christmas because he
has already been cremated - life into death in less than six weeks!
Is it not sobering to realise that you, or I, might not live to see our
credit card bills arrive in January?
Choices, Mr Donkey - we make 'em, and they shape our fate in eternity. Yet
such is the foolishness of the human heart, men will put a great deal of
thought into their choice of broadband supplier - yet none into their
everlasting destination.
So, try not be an Ass, eh?
