So damned sad, this poor man. It is time to rise up as a collective and end this violence across the board! I weep and I'm sick to my stomach from our foul indifference... © 2014 Mark Richard Prime

I understand your take, Tim, but "faith" is not the denial of "observation" anymore than "observation" is the denial of "faith".  Having faith in our observations is not merely "scientific", it makes sense to our animal and our "advanced t hinking". You've faith in science, faith in what you observe, yes? So do I. Science does not adjust its views, we do, as the observers and the creators of scientific methods. We are observers, believers in what we see, otherwise science would make little sense and certainly serve little purpose. We are born believers, my friend. Thoughts are literally believing in something are they not? Science is the formulation of said thoughts (belief) in what is observed and what is felt to be true within them.

A woman who is not a virgin on her wedding night? -Stoned to death. The man who lies with a woman who is not a virgin? -Stoned to death. Worshiping other gods? -Stoned to death.

We're all guilty of our taxes going to pay for the bombs, tanks, planes, etc, etc. All guilty of allowing this idea of war and the warrior to flourish. We the people are complicit. It is not that we don't know this, but that we have convinc ed ourselves that somehow we are not colluding with war when we continue to pay for, buy, the products of those that support the machine (or are the machine) and say nothing. Either we're too damned lazy, spoiled, indifferent, or sightless, but there I go repeating myself. Peace, Mark, Scribe, Fool,  © 2014 Mark Richard Prime
