everything looks good here. carry on.
welcome aboard One Brow.
I've struggled with this same thought. Jesus commented on it as well. The Good Samaritan story is about this. It's true that people in the devout mode of self-assured good conduct can slip a bit when doing good deeds, just as those who are imagined to be beyond the sufferable limits of good society may without fanfare just do what is decent.
I don't really think the atheist who comforts a child in a time of great distress doesn't actually have a sense of peace with the world in doing so. And for some definitions of God, that idea includes the world.
I would say that the term "glory" has a distinctly different taste depending upon the mind of the person. A deeply religious person can, in my understanding, equate it with a reverence of sorts, a joy of communion in some sense with the infinite. Someone who is out of sorts with that kind of sense about religion, might impute a claimed "glory" as something else entirely. . . . maybe something like the "glory" of some crude heathens burning the libraries of Byzantium or Alexandria, say, just to make the most extreme comparison.
Welcome aboard lefty. Most of this thread hasn't been too glorious. I consider it a variety show where everyone is welcome, just for fun. I will mix in some little excursions into merit from time to time, and anyone else is welcome to do so as well.
and thank you, again.
I match every effort in this thread. Bring a topic next time and let's push the good work on to "glory".
