Rethinking "Dominion Over Creation" (video)

ezs note:  I ran across Rev. Ed Trevors and got a breath of fresh air.  Most of what passes off as 'Christianity' is pure crap.  We may not see every line side to side (he is a [real] Christian, I am a Baha'i), but, geez, this guy is good. I'll do my bit to promote him.

By the way, if you're free on Saturday nights, Ed broadcasts live on most Saturday nights at 8 pm (Eastern time).  Look for :

ezs note:  I gotta tell you a story that is related.  In the movie Ma Vie En Rose (see it on Youtube if you have the chance)  Jerome and Ludovic are in the public bathroom to solve a dispute.  It happens just for a second or two, but a girl walks by.  Eek!  Horrors!  Uh... wait a minute.  Y'see, there are no boys' or girls' toilets in France, just 'toilets'.  And this is twenty years ago.

But this is the good ol' USA, where lawyers make a mint over the most trivial matters.  God bless America.  The lawyers are certainly blessed.
