I have given the matter some thought

[Tanzoria]

There's a long history of Christian socialism

[Aersoldorf]

No, there's a long history of socialists masquerading as Christians

The way I see it, the socialists in America are the same ones advocating for policies like abortion, something that the Bible condemns. They can claim to be Christian, but it means nothing if their actions include robbing innocent babies of God’s gift of life.

Note: The only time I believe abortion is acceptable is if the mother’s life is at stake. That’s it.

I’m with her, although I don’t see any reason for it to be allowed. Murder is murder.

At least we agree on the larger issue.

[Aersoldorf]

True

It's an issue worthy of Deep Thought.

[Aersoldorf]

Who shall preside over the Day of the Answer?

[Valentian Elysium]

Day of the Answer?

[Aersoldorf]

Not an Adams fan are you?

[Valentian Elysium]

no

[Aersoldorf]

That explains that

This article explains Deep Thought, which Donnee mentioned, as well as the Day of the Answer. It does provide some spoilers if you decide to read the books but there’s no short way to explain them otherwise.

There may not even be a long way of explaining the brilliantly hilarious ideas that were spawned in the mind of Douglas Adams.

Rest In Peace

I see...

[Aersoldorf]

I'm actually re-reading the entire series again. Taking a pause to read Max Barry's 'Providence' but should finish it tonight and then be back to H2G2 tomorrow. Also got Starship Titanic from the library to read again after the H2G2 books.

[Donnee]

I've thought of re-reading Isaac Asimov's Foundation Trilogy again (actually 4 books), but I never seem to find the time.

[Aersoldorf]

I hope that George Martin finishes the last two GoT books before he dies

[Donnee]

I was always disappointed that Edgar Rice Burroughs stopped writing about Barsoom.

[Aersoldorf]

It’s tragic that many of the great writers died relatively young: Adams, Crichton and Clancy come to mind

[Donnee]

True. Crichton went to high school about 5 miles from where I live.

[Aersoldorf]

That’s pretty cool. My favorite book of his is State of Fear. I read Andromeda Strain when I was in middle school and loved it so much that I read everything he wrote.
