My grief over sin, the desire for salvation, and the need for reconciliation to one greater than myself, that seems to be innate, makes sense in this context but not outside of it. We need to have a worldview that can coherently reconcile that we grow through time into something either wonderful, or base, and that being either wonderful or base is not just a subjective judgment or opinion, but a real condition ascribable to persons and behaviors.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://christiantheology.wordpress.com/2008/04/04/atheism-is-unthinkable/">There is something better and worse that I can be, and it matters.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/517CD21D-626D-4079-9F24-1BA524AD24B2/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
