This quarter I am taking a Marxian Culture Theory class... not my fave. It's the last required course for my English major. After this, I get more choice (praise Him!).

So... obviously, I disagree with Marx on a lot of things. But one quote of his stuck out to me and has been haunting me ever since. He said, "Philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to change it."
Isn't that amazing? Now, unfortunately, Marx did change the world. But the quote remains true.

As I said, I've been thinking about this quote a lot since I first read it. Well, at home group last week, Tong gave me a key to unlocking the truth of this quote. He said, "When man stopped being a worshipper he became a philosopher." WOW!
And then I started thinking about these quotes in relation to each other. This is what I've come up with so far: I think worship did change the world--it still does!
I'm continuing to delve into these sorts of ideas. I'll keep you posted on what I find.

loves :)
