[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 942564, member: 22662"] You see with open eyes but a closed mind...and yet...I am reminded of Ben Afleck in Dogma speaking of mankind's arrogance. It's in the parking garage when he's advocating his (and Loki's) return to Heaven. Loki replies, "I've seen what happens when the proud take on the throne." Yes, Dogma speaks to me perhaps as loudly as any spiritual writer or even sometimes the Bible itself. It brings it home in a world where nuclear holocaust is a possibility we've lived with for decades. Literally the ability to wipe out life on earth. Life with individuals consumed with self, in love with the "deadly sins", and focused on hatred--and still one can say, "There is no God." Somehow, the greatness of man's love for himself and others keeps him from destroying the planet. Now, in that light, God is the easy choice to believe in. [/QUOTE]
