6 VOICE OF THE neurotic meanderings, the picture--drawing, what you will, leaves me out in space wondering just how I got there. The pic. of you, 4e, is quite nice. Who got you to take off your glasses? (Why, U Daugherty dog! Identifooing that Bokreature by Walt as me! Speer's article is saying exactly what I want to say but don't know how to. I was very favorably impressed with both Kennedy's remarks on religion --my feelings prexactly -- but what I want to know is WHY? Why all the fuss and bother about --is there or isn't there?-- sure, its an interesting subject to presuppose. I'm just as willing to argue the Bible--as a statement of fact to be adhered to like Carter's liver Pills as the next one, but I don't think the guy that does believe in it should be censored. At times I wish that I could find something to believe in--at times this world gets awfully big. Probably the thing that keeps me from believing more than intelligence is my own innane bull-headedness. As far as any criticisms--Lorraine (and child?) were nice, but not necessary--and Vom was such a good mag too, until page 6! So the feminine nude is nice--heck fire! Most of us are over 21--honest! (Honest? Howbout Watson, Shaw, Raym, Bronson, Moffatt, Cunningham, Kennedy, Kepner, Ebey, Anderson, Dye, Sinn, Honig & many others? All these must be thoroly corruptede bfor they reach 21! Robt Bloch is our most recalcitrant customer, in this respect. To pen, Crozet'! Produce a piece of pulchritude to undermine these young men's resistance bfor it is too late!) # Servifan LEN MOFFATT, the poor fan's Julie Unger when it comes to atrocious handriting, pens 8 pages which he hopes can be deciphered. The christian stfan returns. Nudes as Art are O.K., but as pornography should be kept in their place which is not in VOM. Cartoons all very "hoomerous" especially the one about the Angel protesting that he's an atheist. I don't doubt that many atheists live as Christian a life as those who believe in God and profess Christianity. Don't like the title "PLANS FOR SLANS" but the idea is good! Also I liked many of Art & Ruth Widner's Plans for Pete - Lots of Christian ideas there-in. [[illustration text]] "YA GOT A LIGHT?" [[end illustration text]] Yerke: happy to hear that "T.B." enjoyed my "ungrammatical poetry." (Haw!) - Evolution, atomic theory,astronomy,medicine, etc. are not necessarily contrary concepts to Christianity, in my opinion. Like Macdonald I am a reader and follower of the New Testement. Just how God caused the universe to be, I dunno. Evolution sounds like a logical enough way to me. I'm more interested in the Future than the past however.Man has risen a little above the other animals - but without Christianity he cannot progress very far. When Yerke mentioned "medicine" I presume he was referring to the "miracles" worked by Christ. (By the way, "The Robe" by Doughlas, explains how some of these miracles could have been worked - logically too!) Many unexplained phenomena has occurred, other than the miracles in the New Testement. (ask the Fortean Society,of which I am not a member) Being in the Navy Hospital Corps I kinda like the use of "medicine" to cure diseases of mankind. They help,no end. But then maybe an "idiot saint" wouldn't know about things like that---- Macdonald: ((Says U misunderstand; by "loving everyone" he merely meant having a fond regard for his fellow men. Like Will Rogers, he has found something in each person that he likes, tho not necessarily enuf to meke him love them like, for instance, his Best Friend, his mother--"God bless her!" He even admits to having hated certain persons from time to time enuf to want to kill them; but 'twas a passing hate, resultant from a terrific temper--fortunately slow to rise --combined with a blue mood.)) Mrs. Beachy's letter was not only untactful (Haw!) but a little unChristian, in my opinion.Perhaps it's not her fault though. Evidently she thinks fandom is a "heaven" for drunkerds,sex fiends,etc. and could very easily gotten this opinion from hastily scanning VOM, LEZ, etc (and from listening to Sinn) without looking into the matter fully. Honig: Sorry that my "holy talk" sickens you, friend. I speak only what I believe,what is,in my opinion,the truth. I know I am a stfan because I enjoy reading fantasy & stfiction.I enjoy being an actifan,I'm all out for progress,a better future,etc. etc. At the same time I do my best to live a Christian life. Could I live a better Christian life if I quit fandom? I doubt it? In fandom I've found something that interests,entertains and educates me. (Likewise in Christianity,of course). If I would quit fandom I would certainly miss it and I'd have a harder time being a good, true Christian, I assure you. Still dumbfounded? Parker: ((Agrees what U say about the churches "messing up" Xianity may be true
