Whats a yeoman?yeomans
Personally, I don't like it at all when someone tries to inform me that I need to live by some code or prescribed method of thinking/believing when they have zero compelling evidence for said position. I just don't like it. In fact, I actively work against such attempts, and attempt to get the person trying to do the convincing the understand just how un-convincing they truly are. Most of them can't see it, of course - which is just sad. If anything, that very mindset is what makes me question whether or not the human race is going to "make it."Difficult it is, to find yeomans that truly wish to be saved.
Howcome it is so?
Not really, no.Is it not clear then
that this world is headed for the worst?
I'm definitely not even going to attempt this. Sounds like vague, unsupportable gibberish.Is it not clear then
that it is high time,
to put on one's spiritual life vest?
I don't, at all, view "the ship" as unsinkable - if by "the ship" you're referring to humanity, or "the world" in general as you allude to at the end of your little piece of prose. And as far as the "bonfire of merriment" - is this some reference to the tired, old idea that non-believers must be out there reveling in all sorts of sin and generally unproductive shenanigans? If so... just say what you mean so that I can refute it directly.(in those halcyon days of yore,
on the bonfire of merriment,
when the ship of the world seemed unsinkable)
See - this right here is the problem. YOU think you can teach me something about "saving" myself from some amorphous, unevidenced plight. Don't do that. Don't try and think for me. I'm good, and I will be the first to own up to any of my mistakes should I one day figure out that I made them in this regard (whatever it is you're getting at - I am still not 100% certain honestly).And is it not clear then
that if thou dost not know how
that thou should consult one who can teach thee?
Is it not clear?
From an objective sense, I don't think it actually matters whether the "ship of the world" "rights itself" to come out of whatever danger you feel it is in. Subjectively, myself, however, I do so enjoy the world, and I would like for others to be able to enjoy it too. So I do some small part to try and fix what I see as the broken things, and try to keep in mind the future generations' experiences in the actions I take in the here and now.But perhaps thou thinkest that the
ship of the world will yet right itself
and be on its merry way?
Difficult it is, to find yeomans that truly wish to be saved.
Howcome it is so?

Is it not clear then
that it is high time,
to put on one's spiritual life vest?
And is it not clear then
that if thou hast burned thy life vest
(in those halcyon days of yore,
on the bonfire of merriment,
when the ship of the world seemed unsinkable)
thou had better sew thyself a new one?
And is it not clear then

I break this down into two scenarios:I am quite happy with reality rather than wishful thinking. I know my component atoms will continue for ever after i die. Some of those atoms will go on to help create new life (in that way we are all made of dead people). In time when this world dies those atoms will wind up floating in the universe and may help to form a new sun with its own solar system which may produce life of its own, helped by me. The first law of thermodynamics guarantees that possiblity.

Well saidI am quite happy with reality rather than wishful thinking. I know my component atoms will continue for ever after i die. Some of those atoms will go on to help create new life (in that way we are all made of dead people).

Now isn't that better than being preached at to follow a specific doctrine that has absolutely no evidence to back it up

Someone who doesn't need saving, I guess.

Whats a yeoman?
It's a man who tends yeo. Yeos leap from sprocket to sprocket above the snow line. Someone has to tend them or the sprockets die. Jeesh I hate dead sprockets. They smell.Whats a yeoman?
Threads about "woo."What do we need saved from?
