Politics According To Krauthammer
I just finished Charles Krauthammer's last book, "Things That Matter." It is so brillian that I literally found over 100 topics to discuss in this forum. But I won't. At the very start of the book he makes the point that no matter how much effort he puts into writing about science,medicine, art, poetry,architecture, chess, space, sports, numbers, in the end they must "bow to the sovereignty of politics."In trying to move the spectre of politics off the table he got into the Voyager probes and whose voice narrated but Kurt Waldheim, a former NAZI. It prompted me to ask the Gulch one simple but extremely profound question: What one thing would you send on Voyager 1 and/or 2? Krauthammer finally winds up saying what biologist and philosopher Lewis Thomas proposed as evidence of human achievement ;the Complete works of Bach.(Personally, I would have chosen Beethoven). So, am asking this forum, if you were allowed to send only one item on Voyager 1 or 2, what would it be? Remember you are representing all of earth from fauna to flora, from philosophy to nonsense, from math to quantum. Just one thing. Music? Science? words? go for it.

Wasn’t he married to Barbara branden while he was involved with ayn rand, and then eventually dumped Barbara for another wife later?
I would postulate that the so called potential allies he might have had to help with his agenda but who were turned off. By his personality werent committed to his agenda anyway. ( like mc Cain for example)
A Creator is the one responsible for the Earth and the universe, not some happenstance crazy boom. The Bible takes you through the various stages of God's chosen people and their peaks and valleys. Man was trapped by sin from the original sin of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and were doomed to die as a result. God told of His plan for a Savior throughout the Old Testament and as a result Jesus comes on the scene promising people an eternal life if they believed on Him as their Savior and through Him they would be able to attain eternal life in Heaven. He did miracles while he was here on earth. A perfect example of Him feeding 5,000 men pus women and children with 3 fish and 7 loaves of bread. That story was told there is record of anyone disputing it so by that record alone you have to conclude that Jesus was who He said He was, God's son. Many other miracles occur in the New Testament if you will read it. None have been rejected by the people that knew if they were true or not, the people of His time. There will be an end to this earth one day and no one knows when that will come. Remember, it takes more faith to believe in nothing than something and God sent Jesus, a living, breathing man here on earth to live among us to show us the way to eternal salvation. don't forget that the 11 disciples that followed Him were all put to death in a very gruesome way except for John, They could have all rejected Christ if they renounced Him but none did. If that doesn't convince you then I pray that you will at least ponder on what I have written.
It's really simple to be saved. If you are saved or become saved it will change your life forever, today while you are here on earth and later in your heavenly home.
