I heard a news brief this morning on the rise of extreme weather and then saw an article in the Metro Newspaper that an Atheist ad was approved for the sides of buses. I immediately thought of the flood story in Genesis and the meaning of boundaries. I get that we like to press boundaries – heck it’s kind of fun some times. There are a great many out there that have hear me say “hey you’all – watch this!”. My point is that some boundaries are meant for pressing and some we really need – like the boundaries between land and sea. My recollection of Genesis Flood story is of a population gone wild with loosened boundaries. The great “I AM” than replies with a removal of boundaries – namely the shoreline. So here we are pressing our boundaries again. How does Atheism help that? You’d better hope that bus floats. I kind of like the stories of old – they help us remember that boundaries are – well – a good thing. Maybe belief in a higher power could help us maintain those boundaries.
