Living out of control : Comments

By Peter Sellick, published 7/7/2010

While prudence is a good thing, we must understand that the quest for absolute security robs us of the essence of life.

Sells this sort of tripe might be alright for a weekly sermon to your sheep but here at OLO we deserve more than pontification.

>> Contrary to public opinion, Christian faith is not about securing a place in the afterlife, or assuming an absolute ethic, or an attempt to be perfect, it is about the resurrection of the dead. <<

Christian faith is not about.... afterlife.... it is about resurrection of the dead?

Whatever. How about just being the best person you can be in THIS life?

Whether one is focused upon an 'afterlife' or being resurrected from one's grave (what if you're cremated?), living in the here and now, considering the needs of others, caring for our environment are positive and definitive actions we can take now. Every day.

To live one's life in contemplation of some after death experience is a complete waste.

Sellick don't you have any friends, family, pets, gardening projects, artistic expression, anything other than your obsession with a religion that very likely won't bring you the resurrection you apparently crave?

Go and house a homeless person, rescue stray animals, plant a tree. Be useful.
