And more Hubert Reeves as well. I always loved the way he popularizes astrophysics. With him things hard to apprehend become easy and fun. The exact opposite of the three 'Books' which are somewhat funny as fables can be but a quickly boring pile of inconsistencies.
I met Osteen about 20 years ago through some friends who told me that he had turned their lives around. Have you ever met someone so slimy you wanted to take a bath afterwards? I went home and took a shower afterwards.
I love the one about Noah's Ark – nobody else on Earth had a boat? Good point. The whole Noah's Ark story is so stupid. The water rose 15 cubits (about 23 feet) and all the mountains were covered. Yeah, right.
Sometimes I let my hair grow out for 6 months if I get it cut short. When it reaches a certain length, I have family members that say, "Uncle Milleson, you're starting to look like a televangelist, like Jim Bakker and Joel Osteen. Get a haircut and tell them to shampoo the grease out, too!" I dutifully obey.
Certainly fewer Osteens. By the dozens fewer...if that makes any sense.
ReplyDeletePat - Yep!
