Boy oh boy. A Rooski today clicked on a post here, it is the oldest post clicked on that I can remember, January 20, 2003:
nelson goodman: god is the collective conscience of mankind.
john steinbeck, the grapes of wrath: reverend jim casey: "i figgered about the holy sperit and the jesus road. i figgered, 'why do we got to hang it on god or jesus? maybe,' i figgered, 'maybe it's all men an' all women we love; maybe that's the holy sperit--the human sperit--the whole shebang. maybe all men got one big soul ever'body's a part of.' "
That's about it, that's about what I think. Had completely forgotten about the Steinbeck passage. That's totally consistent with Goodman. Appreciate it, Rooski, really appreciate it.
