Like you Lozzie I find my scientific logical mind needs to quantify and qualify what the whacked out religious types say. Northern Minx teases me about this all the time, cos she'll come out with something whacky, and I'll make her explain the logic to it (which makes her laugh and drives her mad at the same time!!) I think this is healthy, stops you ending up manipulated or in a cult. Having said that, its worth remembering what Albert Einstein said on this: "The gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing knowledge."
and "Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere."
and "Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand."
and "Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."
God love ya Albert! | "Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind."
personally i dont believe in any higher being but albert rules
