W...Thanks for stopping by, my dear Cheeseburger!!! Well, after I sent you those emails, I was told that your ending to the book is consistent with what often takes place in true Christianity. For Christ Jesus paid the price in full for all of our sins, and whoever wants to believe that, will not be punished for their sins, come Judgment Day. Ah, but unless that happens just before they take their last breath in this world, they are still stuck with the memories of their sins, and those who are like me, suffer greatly because of that. Making it even worse, is learning more and more about just how perfect our Heavenly Father truly is, which greatly magnifies our own imperfections. Then there is the worrying about not having enough faith in His grace, which adds all the more to the guilt. For if our sins are truly forgiven, it is waste of time to get bogged down in shame, but on the other hand, taking His grace too much for granted is a road that leads to destruction.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349087080262856079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794620494458886025.post-34196298546010457012011-05-17T04:05:48.371-05:002011-05-17T04:05:48.371-05:00Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Ann!!! Well...Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Ann!!! Well, when it comes to what I consider to be really good science fiction, the advance technologies just add to the story instead of being the story. Be assured that this is what happens in Simon of Space.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349087080262856079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794620494458886025.post-65945066168734518602011-05-16T18:08:17.595-05:002011-05-16T18:08:17.595-05:00Dear FishHawk,
Thanks for troubling to review Sim...Dear FishHawk,<br /><br />Thanks for troubling to review <i>Simon of Space</i>. As you know, in response I emailed you and you emailed me and I suggested we continue in public commentary and so here we are.<br /><br />There are spoilers.<br /><br />In the book, a man is held accountable for actions he cannot remember. FishHawk says, <i>"I would have liked Simon being absolved of all crimes without him having to endure the memories of his former self."</i><br /><br />Presumably, this is because we find the Simon of the present to be sympathetic despite his history. He seems nice. FishHawk continues:<br /><br /><i>"For making him endure those memories was making him even more of a victim than those effected by his previous actions, but I can certainly see where that would be considered woefully unjust by many."</i><br /><br />Are we not ultimately suggesting, then, that amnesia cures sin? Are we not culpable if we not aware? If not, who does own that culpability?<br /><br />If no one, does that mean sin can exist without being attached to a sinner?<br /><br />I'd be interested to hear your take!<br /><br />Yours,<br />Cheeseburger BrownCheeseburger Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384136287767500794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794620494458886025.post-67672683921987746562011-05-16T15:50:15.869-05:002011-05-16T15:50:15.869-05:00I've never been a fan of science fiction but I...I've never been a fan of science fiction but I'm sure it's a good read for those that do like that type of book.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12886333496997952719noreply@blogger.com
