So the interim leader of the NDP held a membership in the BQ. So?
Don't we try to convince people opposed to us to come over to our side? It seems to me the winning over of a member of a separatist party should be a cause for celebration. Or is it a rule that nobody who ever belonged to a separatist party is ever again permitted to have a role in Canadian politics? Don't MPs of all parties cross the floor on occasion? Wasn't Churchill originally elected as a Liberal?
This is really an ad for a book by an old friend and colleague at Concordia university. He's a mathematician - which I had always thought of as the most authoritative and certain field of study there was. Not so, he says in his new book. All science, including mathematics, is full of uncertainty and constant change which still leaves us in uncertainty. You can imagine how much worse it must be in fields like history, politics and theollogy.
Most churches use their signs to generate interest and conversation. Given the number of posts on Chansen's topic, it certainly worked for Sandford United Church. It also raises a question I don't recall hearing answered here on the Cafe; does Heaven, Hell, the "afterlife" exist? Where do we go when we draw our last breath?
Having observed the different ways of life of many Christians and their observations of the Bible, I want to ask you all this question. Keep in mind, there is a difference.
Do you live to go to Heaven? Or do you live to evade Hell?
I have no answer to that question myself, because I live for neither one. It used to be both answers for me actually, but that is no longer the case.
