The reading was interesting. It had me really stop and think about it. I do like some of his ideas on the topic he has about us as ‘dust and breath’. Also, I have to say his way he went around to his point was very different.
I like how he quotes from the Bible to get his point. I found it funny that he ties it into his economy view. Another thing I like when he was talking about the idea of the church having a building. I don’t go to church as much as I would like to, but I think he’s right when he says God is everywhere, that we don’t need a building to practice.
“We are holy creatures living among other holy creatures in a world that is holy.” I really like this quote. It is kind of saying that we are no special or we are as special as the thing next to us. Bringing in Christianity to bring by these points is a really neat way.
I also like his viewpoint on the idea of work, “To work without pleasure or affection, to make a product that is not both useful and beautiful, is to dishonor God, nature, the thing that is made, and whomever it is made for.” The other quote I like about work is this, “Work connects us both to Creation and to eternity.” I believe that work should be something someone loves and it should {no matter what belief you have} be based off your love and belief.
For the most part he stresses on how “He formed man of dust; then, by breathing His breath into it, He made the dust live.” He is saying that we are a part of nature and that we are doing harm to His world.
