    După atâtea călătorii prin labirintul cărților și al argumentelor, voi face o scurtă pauză muzicală, oferindu-vă două piese ale lui Josh Wilson (albumul See You, 2011): I refuse Sometimes I I just want to close my eyes And act like everyone’s alright When I know they’re not This world needs God But it’s easier to…

  • 2. Reason: the rationality of beliefs The rationality of belief in God The New Atheism refuses to confront the inconvenient truth that every worldview – whether religious or secular – goes beyond what reason or science can prove. That’s just the way things are. The “ultimate questions” about value and meaning won’t go away. Both…

  • I’ve just read the last book of Alister McGrath, Why God Won’t Go Away: Is the New Atheism Running on Empty? (Thomas Nelson, 2010). I selected few thoughts, simple and in their logical framework,  but I would like to begin with the last passage of the book: I’d just finished giving a lecture in London…

  • I think Oprah is John the Baptist, leading the way for Obama to win. Iowa voter Nu am să uit niciodată atmosfera Surprizelor lui Andreea Marin. Diabetul discursiv, vocea și gestica pseudo-angelică a prezentatoarei, dramaturgia simulacrului de suspans, cromatica glamuroasă, alunecarea erotică a camerei de filmat pe îmbrățișările și lacrimile ce parcă dădeau organicitate și…

      .. din ratiuni mai degraba pedagogice pentru cei care au nevoie de suport vizual pentru a intelege versurile.
      Sorry pentru cei care stiu bine engleza 🙂

    Nu stiu cum se face ca nu ascultasem albumul asta al lui. Am cautat acum si restul melodiilor si sunt foarte frumoase. Pentru mine el este un artist adevarat.

După atâtea călătorii prin labirintul cărților și al argumentelor, voi face o scurtă pauză muzicală, oferindu-vă două piese ale lui Josh Wilson (albumul See You, 2011):

I refuse

Sometimes I
I just want to close my eyes
And act like everyone’s alright
When I know they’re not

This world needs God
But it’s easier to stand and watch
I could say a prayer and just move on
Like nothing’s wrong

But I refuse
‘Cause I don’t want to live like I don’t care
I don’t want to say another empty prayer
Oh, I refuse

To sit around and wait for someone else
To do what God has called me to do myself
Oh, I could choose
Not to move but I refuse

I can hear the least of these
Crying out so desperately
And I know we are the hands and feet
Of You, oh God

So, if You say move
It’s time for me to follow through
And do what I was made to do
Show them who You are

‘Cause I don’t want to live like I don’t care
I don’t want to say another empty prayer
Oh, I refuse

To sit around and wait for someone else
To do what God has called me to do myself
Oh, I could choose
Not to move but I refuse

To stand and watch the weary and lost
Cry out for help
I refuse to turn my back
And try and act like all is well

I refuse to stay unchanged
To wait another day, to die to myself
I refuse to make one more excuse

‘Cause I don’t want to live like I don’t care
I don’t want to say another empty prayer
Oh, I refuse

To sit around and wait for someone else
To do what God has called me to do myself
Oh, I could choose
Not to move but I refuse

I refuse
I refuse

… și ceva mai liniștit, o interpretare a imnului clasic It Is Well
