Consideration Overload

Avoidance behaviors fine tuned with final tax preparation and a new biofeedback blog, weather instabilities or ecocommunity backlash triggered by Easter Sunday sugars , but everything seems to have more layers to peel back today.

This was supposed to be a light read:

Divine irony

5 March 2009

Musing on the often acrimonious debate between atheists and believers, Simon Blackburn takes as his inspiration David Hume, who approached the issue not with hatred but with humour.

...the further in I got, the deeper the concentration needed. Got to the comments and thought - Salvation! Wrong, deeper still:

Quoting from Newsblaze: "Using a synthesis of scriptural materials from the Old and New Testaments, the Apocrypha ,the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Nag Hammadi Library, it describes and teaches a single moral command, a single moral principle offering the 'promise' of its own proof; one in which the reality and power of God responds to an act of perfect faith with a direct, individual intervention into the natural world; correcting human nature by a change in natural law, altering biology, consciousness and human ethical perception beyond all natural evolutionary boundaries. Intended to be understood metaphorically, where 'death' is ignorance and 'Life' is knowledge, this experience, personal encounter and liberation by transcendent power and moral purpose is the 'Resurrection', the justification of faith and foundation of righteousness." For the first time in known history, a religious teaching and moral tenet exists bearing the name of Christ, offering access by faith, to absolute proof for its belief and that changes the very basis of all theistic religious assumption. In fact the whole intellectual paradigm under which we exist as a humanity. History may be about to judge both our human conception of what God and religion are and those who have chosen to believe in nothing but themselves. It should be most interesting to watch both sides respond as this new development plays out? http://www.energon.org.uk

...and that is just the second comment, attraction to mockery by Christians being the subject of the first comment. I haven't yet followed the link above, that is part of the reason this stuff finds its way here - I hope to get to it later.

Well, my creating you own universe post is still has Multiverse readings to follow and along comes Smart Mobs with this lead - Encarta will soon be euthanized by Microsoft. As six memories parade, starting with the salesman showing my mother the chicken hatching from the egg picture in World Book and ending with the fantasy of my biofeedback book bloated with Wikipedia entries and converted to PDF for distribution, pervasive media invades an equally pervasive reality.

Wonder what's on the radio....
