    Yep, I do stir a stinky pile when it needs stirring right along with the best of them. Diplomacy is not my best suit. I also have the cahones to say poop when I finally get a mouth full too. That's for sure Joe.

    I thought that was a pretty quick turnaround, but I was giving you the benefit of the doubt.

    Yeah, all that stuff Jesus said about love your enemies, bless those that curse you, turn the other cheek, and so on is pretty unrealistic, I guess. Your approach is a lot more reasonable (and more popular) than his.

    The turn the other cheeck thing doesn't mean to lay down and let them kill you. But hey, all you have to do is consult your natal astrology charts and you have all the "correct" answers. I don't delve into the black arts so I guess we will never really see eye to eye. That is why I left the other post you have referenced here. If you think your world is blissfull and without a threat, then who am I to crash your little tea party?

    Apparently, that's what Jesus thought it meant.

    Our difference isn't about whether there are threats in the world, it's about how to deal with them. I think Jesus' approach is more likely to work than yours, that's all.

    OK, to get back on topic, here's a piece from today's NY Times about some recent psychological research on "Magical Thinking" (or less flatteringly, superstition), i.e. the belief that our thoughts or ritualistic actions can affect physical-world outcomes. They find that such beliefs are far more common than is usually acknowledged, and conclude that in modest doses, they're probably beneficial, or at least not harmful.

    Do you think that the beliefs and behaviors discussed in the article are the same as what we're talking about here, or not?
