BILL HOBBS ON TECHNOLOGIES AL GORE PUSHES AND IS HEAVILY INVESTED IN TO MAKE A KILLING.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS MY LAST POST FOR A LITTLE WHILE. WILL WRITE OCCASIONALLY IN BETWEEN WEARING MYSELF OUT OUTDOORS.

" THE WORD heresy comes from the Greek word meaning 'choose.' The heretic is a person who chooses a single item out of the entire body of truth and, ignoring or denying the rest of it, makes that privately preferred and chosen truth the only truth, and teaches others to do the same. Heresy is the choice of the fraction instead of the integer. Insofar as the heretic gets others to only see that fragment and ignore the rest, he blocks access to the organic fullness of all reality, of God. There is simplification in that choice (that is the attraction), but there is also immense impoverishment. The heretic solves our problems by reducing our lives."

— Eugene Peterson, Traveling Light

"Heresy is an attempt to simplify the truth, but reducing it to the limits of our ordinary understanding, instead of enlarging our reason to the apprehension of truth."

— T.S. Eliot, The Idea of a Christian Society
