Interesting Tidbits...

I believe in God, only I spell it Nature. - Frank Lloyd Wright

I like that quote, I randomly came across a Frank Lloyd Wright quote page today, and I had no idea he was so interesting!

Anyway, the other thing I wanted to record here is this:

I've been reading Homer's Odyssey, and I came across this line in it...

But here's an unlucky wanderer strayed our way
and we must tend him well. Every stranger and beggar
comes from Zeus, and whatever scrap we give him
he'll be glad to get. - Nausicaa in The Odyssey

It reminded me of this:

Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers
That you do unto me (Matthew 25: 40)

I just found it interesting that this idea of our treatment of the poor being a direct reflection of how we treat God (or the gods) is found in both these places. These are the things I'm trying to find. The connections.

I haven't had time to do the research I've wanted to on Christianity so far...but I am starting to read C.S. Lewis' "Mere Christianity" today along with continuing The Odyssey - as it discusses his take on the similarities between the Christian denominations, which is exactly the idea I'm trying to explore. I'll let you know how that goes...
