I swear I am doomed to have inane xian songs from my indoctrinated childhood through my head at regular intervals. Drives me nuts.

Of course my parents would say that it’s god calling me home… [sigh]

Aldous Huxley, John F. Kennedy, and C.S. Lewis all died that same day. Crazy world. That saying reminds me of November 22, 1963 (not that I was alive then, mind you). Aldous Huxley, John F.

what a cruel, indifferent thing that natural selection process did to our DNA?leaving us with this terrible spiritual void we so desperately need to fill. And for those who believe they can fill it all by ourselves? well, as Sponge Bob so blithely put it, ?well, good luck with that?

Why can’t our intelligent brains rid ourselves of our grandparents’ mythologies? Am I brainwashed, doomed forever to have this silliness in my head?

Could it be Augustine was right about that ?God-sized hole? in our hearts, after all?

Some things I try so hard to get rid of, like the fear of vanity and pride. Yet I still hear my father's voice saying that the devil punishes people for their pride. Still not sure what the devil had to do with it, but eh, he was catholic and Hungarian. They have some pretty insane superstitions. I think you never fully get rid of all of the brainwashing.
