      I would suggest this as a possibility for Charles to consider:

      I think the problem here is that you're so literal. I don't believe there is a physical God in the sense you're thinking.

      The Bible says God made man in his image. And what is man but an energy force, one temporarily residing within the human shell. You know energy never dies it merely changes form. Thus the energies themselves are the ever changing, ever transitioning, force. Now wouldn't it stand to reason that there are varying degrees of strength within these energies?

      Assume for a minute, the ability for thought within these energies and what have you? (You're thinking right now aren't you? So you can't deny energy has the ability to think.) A stronger energy force having the ability for thoughts manipulating (forming) weaker energies, into its design: God, for lack of a better word. But that's not the important thing here. What's important is the essence of thoughts within the influencing energy, the ten commandments — the influence to strive to be all those things. You are what you believe.

      Isn't it time you brought Sir John Templeton back for another interview? I'd like to hear what he thinks about the stock market and our economy now.

      He has just given a grant of money to The SEVEN Fund (SEVENFUND.org) a social equity organization

      dedicated to ending world poverty.

      Please think about an encore performance. He is now in his 90's. Thank you.
