I thanked you, last post, Bob, but no thank you from you, for my thank you? Ain't we friends no more? Chuckles. Being thankful to be alive transcends (oops, big word) religion, doesn't it?

Being thankful to be alive transcends (oops, big word) religion, doesn't it?I can't remember the last time friends or family started the conversation about thanks...usually it's the opposite. Yes, prayer regarding religion is freestyle asking for better circumstances too often. Thanking is about transcending the self, and about taking a humble assessment of the good in one's life. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Gobblegobble

"Try and penetrate with our limited means the secrets of nature and you will find that, behind all the discernible concatenations, there remains something subtle, intangible and inexplicable. Veneration for this force beyond anything that we can comprehend is my religion. To that extent I am, in point of fact, religious." - Albert Einstein

"The mania for giving the Government power to meddle with the private affairs of cities or citizens is likely to cause endless trouble, through the rivaly of schools and creeds that are anxious to obtain official recognition, and there is great danger that our people will lose our independence of thought and action which is the cause of much of our greatness, and sink into the helplessness of the Frenchman or German who expects his government to feed him when hungry, clothe him when naked, to prescribe when his child may be born and when he may die, and, in fine, to regulate every act of humanity from the cradle to the tomb, including the manner in which he may seek future admission to paradise."
