I’ve been busy doing stuff, so I haven’t been able to post anything the last coupla-three days. There wasn’t anything special to be said about the market, anyway.

Let me introduce myself. Hi, I happen to be a Christian. But I also happen to to respect my Jewish, Muslim and Buddhist friends. I have a friend who happens to be an atheist, but that is OK with me. We all just happen to be, as in “to exist.’  The reason I am OK with my atheist friend is because atheism and deism are not necessarily mutually exclusive in terms of the way we want order in the world. He is a good person. I can’t remember exactly, it was so long ago when I took a certain college class in philosophy, but I think it was Immanuel Kant, a strict logician who condensed ethics into a few non-religious rules, who said that his belief in God was simply of leap of faith. Just because you don’t believe in God, or you believe in a  different god, or you don’t believe that Jesus was was the Messiah or you believe whatever else Kant didn’t believe in, I think Kant  would have been cool with that.

Every year around this time I  say the same small prayer. Peace on earth.
