...week?' This is supposed to be fun," Frank said. When I asked him to expound on this fun idea, Frank said lots of people use the time to exercise or read. I told him to try again on the fun thing. He suggested, "Learn an instrument or write a book." People who don't watch TV are either freakishly ambitious or they do so many mind-altering drugs to soothe their bored brains that they no longer have any idea how long a week actually is.

When you form meaningful relationships, you are happy. Both Freud and Lewis had a great deal to write about the question of sexuality. And there’s the problem of suffering: if 96 percent of people believe in some kind of intelligent being that’s omnipotent and all-loving, how do you equate that with September 11. How can somebody allow that many innocent people...
