Impressed By The Edifice Poem by Margaret Alice Second

Impressed by the edifice constructed by Tim
LaHaye; distilling the essence of what he says:
dealing with our temperament enables us to
rectify problems with anger and depression;
empowering individuals to take responsibility
for what happens to them

As pastor of a Church he provides community
context within which people can apply their new
gifts, I like the society he depicts where people
find joy in serving each other, the philosophical
question whether God exists, is irrelevant when
those who dream up such ideals

Improve the lives of people who follow their pre-
cepts, an intelligent stream of love creates the
benevolent universe and manifests as thinking
people who inhabit it and can think up religion
and rational self-interest; and who can mould
themselves to represent any Deity

Every individual is free to choose where he wants
to be, a person with integrity lives morally superior
whether as atheist or by following Muslim, Buddhist,
Christian or Hare Krisna systems; one with evil intent
will manage to bend the ethical system of any faith
to suit his own purposes…
