A Bunny S Home Is His Castle

Sequel to Hoping for a Home (Gus the Giant Rhyming Rabbit - first book)

The first draft of this rational case on behalf of religious faith was written in spring of 2010. Though much revised, the book still comprises three parts offering complementary perspectives. “Why Science Cannot Be the Final Word” logically demonstrates that the empirical approach (what we commonly call science) cannot possibly render conclusive answers to questions about the nature of ultimate reality. It relies heavily upon Immanuel Kant’s “antinomies of pure reason”. “Reasons to Be Suspicious of Faith” presents some of the emotional responses frequently voiced by non-believers. In the absence of conclusive empirical evidence and logical proof, we are left with "feelings”—some of which are quite poignant. Though these emotions deserve respect when they are genuine (as opposed to derisive or exhibitionist), all eventually undercut themselves in hopeless contradiction. Finally, “Reasons to Be Inclined to Have Faith” argues that our sentimental orientation as human beings becomes most coherent and is pointed in the most productive direction if we assume certain spiritual realities. The rudiments of faith cannot be proved any more than they can be disproved. Yet to assume a higher reality, far from being less reasonable, is much more so if we are trying to explain such cryptic inclinations as our admiration for selfless deeds and the crushing guilt we feel after committing a vile act. The book seldom cites biblical passages. Its intent is explicitly not to presume that the reader acknowledges the authority of any scriptural tradition, but rather to place final authority in the soul’s mirror: a bared, self-examining heart and mind.

A day without laughter is a day wasted. – Charlie Chaplin A smile lasts, but for a moment, but the memory of it can last forever. My father started me on enjoying clean humor at an early age. I have always loved good humor, particularly puns, shaggy dog stories and short one and two liners. Through the years I recorded the better ones I enjoyed and a few years ago I began sharing them with old friends. Now you can enjoy. As an example: God: “Whew! I just created a 24 hour period of alternating light and darkness on Earth.” Angel: “What are you going to do now?” God: “Call it a day.” It only takes: One smile to make someone feel special. One second to offer kindness to someone who needs it. One laugh to lift the spirits of a friend. One person to make a difference, It takes you. I hope this book helps you pass along a smile weekly if not daily.
