Dale Barrington. “When Jesus was crucified, his followers saw that he could never carry to fulfillment the mission of the Jewish people as they conceived it… He was not the messiah they had expected, and, so far as they could see, he was no messiah at all.  The depth of devotion and the shared vision they possessed made their disillusionment all the more bitter and devastating… They reached that depth of despair which comes when all that seems to give hope to human existence is seen to be an illusion…

After about the third day, however, when the numbness of the shock had worn away, something happened.  The life transforming creativity previously known earlier with Jesus began again to work in the fellowship of his disciples.  It was risen from the dead, we might say… What rose from the dead was not the man Jesus; it was a new creative power within each of them.  They possessed what he did.  It was in their DNA.”

Dale Barrington. I am looking at humanity and religion through the lens of Genesis 2 & 3; a mythic understanding to humanity, creation and religion.  Jesus has some thoughts about it as well as do we.  It's worth thinking about on occasion...

Dale Barrington. How is war such a part of our history and culture? Why do we choose to go to war?

Can we really stop it? What are the 'pre' and 'posts' thoughts on war? Is it a necessary evil?
