Hello Steve, right everything absolutely.
May I add something: all religions are good, as long as they are not abused by politics. But all religions are created basically, to comfort those humans who have difficulties accepting that their particular life span is limited from the very beginning, and to comfort them with the ideas that life will be continued in another spiritual form or by rebirth or else. This is said free of all evaluation, more from a philosophical view and MUST not discomfort anybody, as we all have to respect each others view of life to keep peace. ########################################################## Am 12.02.2011 um 04:42 schrieb Steve Haflich: > David Goldberg <[email protected]> wrote: > > The death of a musician is a sad event, but the obituary of flutist > Richard Adeney has its amusing moments: > > This sentiment deserves a slight clarification.
