Robert Osborne is a movie narator at TCM on tv. (Turner Classic Movies)
One night after I had finished watching The Boat movie on TCM,Robert
Osborne said Kurt Jergens (Kurt Jergens played the part of the German
Captain on the German Submarine in that movie,I saw the movie when it
first came out many years before the movie came on tv ,Robert Mitchum
played the part of the American Captain on the American U.S.Navy Ship)
sat out World War Two in a German prison because Kurt Jergens disgreed
with hitler's policies.Whenever The Boat movie is on tv and those dudes
are sitting around in the German Submarine and reading books and
magazines and comic books (one of the books is Mein Kampf) and Kurt
Jergens is gazing around at them with that smirk on his mug,I always
find that amusing.Do I like the new Pope? I don't know yet,time will
tell.

One final thought on tradition - the only true tradition of
Christianity, really, is the following dictum in two parts:

1 - Love God with all your heart and soul; and
2 - Accept Jesus as your personal savior.

All the rest, including Catholic tradition and artifice, is window
dressing.

An H.. R. Giger version perhaps. Look more carefully.

You may be interested to know that my family is Methodist as well. It
has its trappings and artifice too, but it's far less ostentatious and
imposing than Catholic tradition, and at each sermon, the overwhelming
message is that God loves all, and that each of us should accept Jesus
as our savior, recognize the goodness of God, and help spread the good
Word. One needn't go to confessional to confess or seek Jesus through
the clerics - each of us can have a personal, direct relationship with
the Almighty.

Intolerance is not part of Methodism, as far as I can tell.

the fundies-the "Christians" who spew hate at everybody
who doesn't believe exactly as they do

isn't this in and of itself a hate filled statement ? ~ RHF

More like an observation, with some subjective translation to the
printed word.

Perhaps I am wrong, but I was laboring under the belief that
the word "Fundies" is a derisive slur for fundamentalist Christians.

Some people use it to paint all Christians with a broad brush and
condemn anyone with faith and beliefs. You should see some of the rants
on the electronics newsgroups where we are referred to as "Rabid
fundies". Then they blame every problem in the world on Christians and
claim the world would be perfect if we were all dead.

Wow. Nice people. Honest musing he I wonder how many of them
have crappy lives, and blame God for everything? I admire anyone,
Christian or not, who has wrestled and wrangled with questions of being,
faith, the world, and the meaning of life (for lack of a less-hackneyed
phrase),
but can't bear the in-your-face stridency that I see from those who blame
Christians for everything -- Just about as much as it sickens me to see
the weak sister pseudoChristians in the world. (I'll bet money you know
a few of 'em - I certainly do).
