As I spoke with scientists about the way fat behaves, I couldn't resist drawing an analogy to the realm of narcotics.

It's more like there are some really obvious things that are different and then lots and lots of smaller things, lots of things about who lives and who dies, civilizations that rose and fell, all the way down to individual characters.

How many times have you struggled with the interpretation of certain Biblical texts related to the time of Jesus' return because they did not fit with a preconceived system of eschatology? Russell's Parousia takes the Bible seriously when it tells us of the nearness of Christ's return.

Reading Russell is a breath of fresh air in a room filled with smoke and mirror hermeneutics.
