I'm sure my time could be better spent with them than with the New Atheists. Had my life had the meaning and purpose that being a grandpa would bring, I might not have found myself in that situation.

My dad is one of 10...it is so fun looking through the family photos at each wedding progressively adding more and more people...the latest wedding, my cousin's, had my grandma, my dad and his 9 siblings, their spouses, 40 of their children, 15 or so of their children's spouses and 25 children from those marriages so far!

The main intent of my first comment was to say that the photo of Leila's family is proof positive that Catholicism works as a worldview. I should have just left it at that. But, since I don't believe in the supernatural, I had to open my big mouth and say something to the effect that, even though it works, it is not based on reality. That's where I shot myself in the foot. I should have left it as what I thought was a complement but I said too much.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06976342950011924171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-27050486067204143392013-09-30T21:40:00.413-07:002013-09-30T21:40:00.413-07:00Simply beautiful!

However, in this thread Leila is sharing about <i>her daughter's wedding day.</i> Can we just rejoice with her without jumping on another opportunity to present opposing viewpoints? <br /><br />I don't want to shush you or be disrespectful, but Leila is gracious in allowing people (like ourselves) who have very different ideas than she does to express our thoughts (other blogs will boot you right off if you say one challenging thing). Maybe we can return the favor by celebrating this wonderful event in her life. <br /><br />Best to you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-84702035389709723322013-09-30T14:23:52.062-07:002013-09-30T14:23:52.062-07:00Congratulations to you and your family!

I...Why do you say it's not grounded in reality? It's my reality. :) Honestly, each day life comes with choices and there are right ways and wrong ways, selfish answers and selfless alike. It is up to us to persevere and choose the path which promotes the Goodness, Truth, and Beauty of God. If we do this, we will live joyful and fruitful lives with purpose and fulfillment. The reason we look around and see pain and suffering everywhere we look is partly due to us choosing the more selfish path. This could be minimized by the world choosing Catholicism (freely). The Church proposes, not imposes, so it is up to each of us to begin seeking to follow God's will for our lives.

I merely was pointing out that when you look at the photo, one thing it shows is that the Catholic worldview works quite well. It begs the question: if it works so well, why consider any other? But, as we know, there are others that work as well that conflict with this one. They, too deserve to be respected.
