ZAPPED BY THE GODS? Understanding Human Suffering through the Ages. This is a five-session discussion and reading course using materials designed for the University of San Francisco philosophy department. 

The course will look at how various peoples throughout the ages understood the reality of suffering.  We begin with the Greeks and end with a discussion of suffering in today’s world. 

Zapped by the Gods? will meet on five Tuesday nights beginning Tuesday, February 28th at 6 p.m. in the Administration building (Church Office) of St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church (corner of Haystack and Hwy 74 in Palm Desert) with a soup and salad supper.  All are invited to participate and bring friends.

The course will be facilitated by The Rev. Bob Semes.

For more information contact The Rev. Troy Mendez at 760-346-2697 Ext 105

You';re welcome, Renee but I don't really expect thanks for my contributions to the classroom. IRead More wasn't going to stand by and see kids not have the basic things they needed to get through the class and most teachers are of the same mind :) Sadly, school budgets have never covered all the needs in classrooms.

Dorothy you actually believe criminals can't get guns without a background check. Wow are youRead More naive. Just because YOU don't understand why some people want a particular weapon...does not mean you can impose your ownership standards on someone else. Suppose I suggest you don't need the particular car you drive or the particlar beverage you drink? I see you are opposed to hunting. How do you feel about abortion? Typical liberal double standard at play here??

Totally agree. This is just the beginning of a gun grab. All it will accomplish is furtherRead More restrictions on law abiding citizens. Chicago is a perfect example. Strictest gun control in the nation and highest gun crime and murder rate. Criminals do not comply with the law. Only legal citizens will lose their rights to own the weapon of their choice. Liberals are all about choice when it comes to killing an unborn, but when it comes to a lawful gunowner's choice it's a different story altogether.
