h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Do y'all remember the book in which Ford expresses his annoyance with Arthur by going around repeating the first note of Noel Coward's 'Mad About the Boy'? That's how I feel right now...
That's not personal, BTW - I think we all know that, and we all know what's happening right now.
I'd like to say something (several somethings) that have all been said before, better than I can do.
Jesus and the Early Christians
"Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called the children of God."
Jesus

"But I tell you: love your enemies,
do good to those who hate you,
bless those cursing you, pray ,for those abusing you,
so that you may become sons of your Father in heaven."
Jesus

"Shall it be held lawful to make an occupation of the sword,
when the Lord proclaimed that he who takes the sword
shall also perish by the sword?"
Tertullian

"For we no longer take up 'sword against nation'
nor do we 'learn war any more,'
having become children of peace,
for the sake of Jesus, who is our leader."
Origen

Yes, indeed! That's the attitude I feel that Christians should be taking right now - especially the last, from Origen. Or do we all want to have to go round again?
It's a nice sunny day. Yeah.

Heh.

I don't think anyone wants to know what I think Christians should be doing right now.

Hi Della .

How about:

"Violence is the last resort of the incompetent"
Hari Seldon, Psycho-historian.

From Isaac Asimov's Foundation series.

Excellent, Matholwch, I'd read those books years ago, but had forgotten. Thanks for the reminder!
