Sunday Meditation
(In remembrance of Billy Graham)
"They prate of God; believe it, fellow creatures,
There's no such bugbear; all was made by Nature.
We know all came from nothing, and shall pass
Into the the same condition once it was,
By Nature's power; and that they grossly lie
Who say there's hope of immortality.
Let them but tell us what a soul is, then
We will adhere to these mad brain-sick men"--
"Christmas Carol" of the Ranters(1650)
[The Ranters were one of a number of nonconformist dissenting groups that emerged around the time of the English Commonwealth (1649–1660). They were largely common people, and there is plenty of evidence that the movement was widespread throughout England, though they were not organised and had no leader.-- Wikipedia]
