It seems that in this journey we move towards a crisis moment and the outcome of this must bring change --or there was no crisis-- which will either be an enduring happy end, or it will be a tragic end. |

I wonder if that means Jesus could walk on wet cement without leaving footprints. |

Repetition is a form of meditation. Many religions use repetition for the purposes of blocking out all other thoughts so that the pray-er can focus on god.
Personally, I see meditation as a good thing regardless of any religious context, as it has a calming influence. So, if people perform meditation unwittingly I'm all for it ![]() Tabula_rasa |

Being a Catholic Atheist, I still have a few of those pesky things floating around. I use them when I can't fall asleep because Ifind that the repetition and being able to occupy a couple of fingers is calming and eventually sleep-inducing.
I want to make a fuzzy rosary and have someone hang it from their rear-view mirror. |

hah.
I made a set out of black cut glass beads with brass skulls for the "our father" beads. And a little brass mexican charm with a skeleton in a casket instead of a crucifix. I think I even went so far as to do sets of 13 beads instead of 10. I found the blasphemy extremely theraputic. ![]() |

I am afraid something is wrong here. The abacus is a bit older than the rosary!! Just to put things in the right order: people where counting their money already before religion took its toll!! |
