But lets presume it was real and did happen for the right reasons.

I think I can understand why the author of the article may have some misgivings about the signs. But, I tend to agree with those who commented on the article.

Being a recovering catholic, I do believe in - let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me, and I believe in doing unto others as I would have them do onto me. Sometimes, I am even successful at it.

I dont expect others to understand all the ins and out of how the things they may say and do may affect me. But, if a sincere hand of peace is offered to me, as a good faith gesture of trying to right a wrong, I will reach out.

It just makes sense to me. Understanding, learning, evolution are not destinations. They are journeys of growth and development. Making mistakes and misjudgements is part of being human. Forgiveness and healing is also part of being human.

I can perpetuate hate or I can be an instrument of peace. The choice is mine. And, it is a selfish choice not an altruistic one. It is all about my well being, my peace of mind, the person I am and strive to be, the example I prefer to set.

It will never be about what what goes on out there. It will always be about what goes on inside of me.

Hoax or not, is an interesting topic to think about.

I agree, it would be nice to be able to have safe conversations about faith.
