Flew's reason's flown
He's changed his tune
Perhaps it's his advancing years;
His thoughts of God
Went from "not" to "hot"
I guess it's about death fears.

Drbeamer3333over 9 years agoi saw him speak after his change of belief, and I'm quite convinced he was in sound mind. Having seen him speak almost twenty years prior, I did not notice much difference in his basic mannerisms or mental acuity. Beside, if he were truly hedging his bets, he would have become born again or converted to Islam.
CaPic267about 17 years agoLeon, You need to get back to that one. But this? Okay, it's pure you. He seems to be hedging his bets. CP
OSoBuffabout 18 years agoAn interesting poem --- what is this about people as they get older --- do they think religion is like a term life insurance policy --- they shud live the life they have --- what happens later (if anything) will take care of itself.
Bill Dadaover 18 years agoI didn't know there was an octogenerian philosophy? Ooobie doobie deism.

Dustystarover 18 years agoShort, sweet, to the point. I really liked this! I read it, then went to see what Ms. Tristesse had to say in the top list. Defintely agreed on the point of 'makes one want to know more'.
May I add a little suggestion? I might have not put quotes around the not and hot and let people deal with figuring it out, because it is certainly worth the effort.
I'm off to find out more about Anthony Flew.
