Just a quick note...EP is very kid friendly. We discussed death and dying last night at dinner. My 7 year old out of the blue says "people are worried more about being dead and what things are like after they die that they dont enjoy living!" "Just enjoy things dont be worried about dying because you won't feel nothing. Right Daddy?" Exactly son.

And isnt it funny how they are calling it a cult, when in fact, most people are cultish in their devotion to sports teams and the like!

The 20th is a new favorite day here at our house. We do fun things. Eat a good meal. It's cool too since my 7 year old's birthday is January 20th. On April 20th, we are going to check out some dinosaur fossils and investigate the science of the Big Bang at our science museum.

Move all the art. Rebuild the Forum. No more Vatican.

I totally agree. The treasures of Hellas are forgotten! Only if we could have Alexandria and her library!

I agree with Cassius. Good points.

Sad to see so many afraid of losing a temple.

I am not sure, but I believe he quoted that and other sundry verses. I just cut to the chase.

It is pretty much a given that all people at some point question their mortality and worry about death.
In the local supermarket this afternoon I was "witnessed" too by a missionary. I guess his assignment after service was to hit up the market for converts. After his usual pitch, I asked him if he was scared to die. Of course he said no. He was in the great number of saints. Then I asked him what if he died and there was no immortal existence, and all of the missionary work pointed to a great nothing? He looked upset and said, then I would have wasted my life.
I calmly said, I rest my case. Smiled and before I walked off, I told him death is nothing to us. We have no recall of life before birth. Death is the same way. No sensation. Don't fear it. Live today.
