No where else in Christianity does the terrible or heroic name of Armageddon play such role as in America. Not even in the Revelation of John.

God is not only a divine person who we can address in prayer, but also a wide living space We human beings are giving each other space for living when we meet each other in love and friendship.

Hope is lived when it comes alive, when we go outside of ourselves and, in joy and pain take part in the lives of others.
