And so it's often the Christians that get the bad rap because they are seen as intolerant. Everyone wants to be tolerant of everyone... except tolerant of Christians. Many seem to be intolerate them. Go figure.<br /><br />So it's nice to find a thinking atheist who is tolerant of something other than tolerance itself.mickeyDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17518224075563994241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12259034.post-42558230246473263522011-07-24T16:35:51.659-04:002011-07-24T16:35:51.659-04:00Well, to use Lewis's terminology, I'll hav...Well, to use Lewis's terminology, I'll have to be dragged into the digital reader world "kicking and screaming". But If you're a fan, I might consider it. It' not that I'm techno-phobic. I'm joined at the hip to my IPhone - literally. I think it's the paper thing. I'm a visual artist as well as a reader, and I LOVE paper. I've even been known to choose one book over another by the tooth of the page.<br /><br />I won't miss the big chain book stores, but I hope my favorite independent one at the beach never dies. Sundog is my ideal bookstore. Well-worn, wide-planked hardwood floors. Bold hand-lettered signs defining genre. Really knowledgable readers helping customers. I know most of the employees whose names are on the "recommended by" shelf, know which ones share my reading preferences, and can always find one available to have an unhurried conversation about her latest literary pursuits. I'm such a fan that whenever I am there, I make it a point to go in and buy a few books that I can't really afford just to make sure they hang around. Browsers don't keep a retail storefront afloat!<br /><br />So, I appreciate your encouragement to experiment in virtual bookland, but I will miss the REAL bookstores, and hope I will never entirely give up the bound and printed paper.<br /><br />Donna SmithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12259034.post-10633787692322008842011-07-23T10:39:09.046-04:002011-07-23T10:39:09.046-04:00Well, because I can't read your blog on my kin...Well, because I can't read your blog on my kindle, I had to look up "risible" and "moiety" the old fashioned way.

What I believe you are trying to say is that the English language is complicated because there are so many exceptions to rules. That's what I love about German: although the grammar is considerably more complicated than English with 3 genders and various endings (depending on the object and the gender), there are very few exceptions to rules. Our English prefix "dis-" is "des-" in German and is used to my knowledge always without exception to the negation in meaning. Also English is a conglomeration of influences from many languages; so there are very many synonyms that have completely different etymologies. Not so extreme in German: I can often see or hear a word I've never known before and know exactly what it means because of it's roots.

And I'm still filled with childlike wonder at those few stories of sacrifice and service to the greater good in books in every culture. There is no good reason for that. I too am a creature of decay, in moral fabric and in mind, and all of my race tends toward darkness when all the cards are handed out. Still, where some see the holocaust, I see that we made it out our certain doom, mostly whole. The other side to the incontrovertible evidence of God's non-existence in the outer universe is His persistent and undeniable presence in our inner one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12259034.post-77202080848038581352010-09-15T12:02:16.314-04:002010-09-15T12:02:16.314-04:00Yes.
