His message? Love me or burn forever.
Worth sneering ...

Sin does burn us... and Christ is saying there is a better way than being victim to it.

But honour and dominion are not maintained so.
They're only got by sword and shot, and this the Dutchmen know!

Reason is drawn from hypotheses we intuit (so it's hardly an objective process).

We flow through life more like a river than compartmented-boxes, far too quickly for reason and empiricism to catch up with, hence Faith."As we moved slowly through the outskirts of the town we passed row after row of little grey slum houses running at right angles to the embankment.

Speaking of many layers of truth, here are some brute facts about us and a bit of Human Understanding by the East-West Double-Bed Orchestra... which contains a lot of cuteness to ease eye as well as ear..."As we moved slowly through the outskirts of the town we passed row after row of little grey slum houses running at right angles to the embankment.
