RE: Are You Nesting In A Good Place?
a parable drawn from daily life - something Jesus would teach using metaphors such as building a house on a rock foundation rather than sand - a further illustration - I always felt, even as a child, that technology was dangerous because it was heartless- I don't expect others to share that view but I came across a story by Ray Bradbury that came close - you probably know it - http://floydmiddle.typepad.com/files/the-flying-machine-text.pdf
Thanks for the link...
I read Bradbury's collection of short stories, "Golden Apples of the Sun," many years ago and I recall that story about the flying machine. Re-reading it today, I find it as horrifying now as I did then. All too realistic, believable... and all too utterly wrong.
Don't know if you noticed, but this incident definitely reminded me of the rock and sand parable, and I linked to it at the end of my story.
I love Bradbury's writing, especially The Martian Chronicles. I had the privilege of meeting the man once, and witnessed a very strange situation involving him. I must write the story about that some day...
