It always strikes me as funny in a “black humor” sort of way that it is the people who most loudly and most prominently shout the Lord’s name who act so overtly against the Lord’s word. Take war, for example.
- "As you get up in the morning, before starting the day's activities, sit down for a while quietly and in a relaxed mood. Then concentrate upon your true self as an instrument of the Divine. Or, as an active center of the dynamic world-spirit. Or, in case you have inwardly revolted against all religion and philosophy, you may concentrate upon yourself as a creative artist. You are an architect of new, higher values. Your life has been given to you - with all its impulses and urges, thoughts and emotions, talents and handicaps - as the raw material to be fashioned into a thing of beauty and joy, by whatever creative ability you can summon."
- Dr. Haridas Chaudhuri

I was visiting my aunt, who is now in her early 80s, and in discussing the prop 8 issue she shared a story from the late 1930’s about a neighbor and close friend. Her friend, who was from a Protestant family, fell in love and married her Catholic boyfriend who was of Italian decent. The girl’s parents refused to accept the marriage because of the boy’s religion and went as far as disowning their daughter, never speaking to her again. When my aunt told me this sad story we both had to laugh at the utter absurdity of the parent’s behavior. However, my aunt explained to me this was not uncommon in that era.
I’m waiting for the day when we can get a good laugh from the ridiculousness of prop 8. Not that the pain this issue has caused is anything to laugh at, of course not. But someday we’ll look back at this in the same light as other antiquated mandates such as denying women the right to vote or the Jim Crow laws.
Hi, interest post. I’ll write you later about few questions!
