-Twid should get the joke.

Maybe I'll just sit this one out, go get my knitting, I mean knighting equipment

Drawing a blank, gimme a hint?

Google Jacob and Israel.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Google Jacob and Israel.

Oh, like when he and God start wrestling?

The fact that the country exists threw me off.

[LMNO]

Ok, don't read too much into it. It was a smarmy one-off. But yeah.

Is all good man. I was just confused.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

I still, at the moment, can't believe in the afterlife.

I still, at the moment, believe in a higher power, whatever that may be.

I think that my experiment in Judaism is currently on hold, due to inclement weather.

Just an update. I don't see a point in praying to YHWH if I don't currently see him taking an active role in human affairs, and I don't see any reason to believe in the afterlife. I want to get that faith back. Faith in the soul, God be damned, because that's the whole point isn't it? The soul. My belief in a God is irrelevant. Until I can believe in the soul again, and honestly do so, I have no business dealing in religion, do I?

I finally talked to my Lutheran minister friend about this.

He sent me a copy of The Great Divorce by CS Lewis. I look forward to reading it.

I also asked him where I was before I was born. He said, probably in a bar, and I'll meet you in the next one. That made me smirk.

[LMNO]

The Great Divorce isn't that bad of a book.  It may even seem familiar, since you've been on these boards for as long as you have.
