I have not yet.I usually like to listen to good gospel music on a Sunday morning. But I would listen to it.
Hebrews 12:2-3 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross,despising the shame,and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

2nd Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,lest the light of this glorious gospel of Christ,who is the image of God,should shine unto them.

Reminds me of the Old Star Trek TV series when Captain Kirk would launch into one of his great - defend humanity speeches

Audie -- It sounds like philosophical discussion. Interesting actually. Questions like / why are we here / our purpose?

All sounds Star Trek-ish to me...
Star Trek: This Side of Paradise
From http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0708483/quotes

Dr. McCoy: Well, that's the second time man's been thrown out of paradise.

Captain James T. Kirk: No, no, Bones, this time we walked out on our own. Maybe we weren't meant for paradise. Maybe we were meant to fight our way through, struggle, claw our way up, scratch for every inch of the way. Maybe we can't stroll to the music of the lute. We must march to the sound of drums.

This is an amusing quote from the TV Series too
Spock: I've never understood the female capacity to avoid a direct answer to any question.

Well - we Are unquie, aren't we. God did a pretty good job with us. Understanding the female psyche has usually been challenging.

Challenging? I think you mean mind-boggling! :shock:

Sorry to see you be so shallowly dismissive of something very worthwhile.
You sure that is how you want to treat a gift?
