Of course you can, Ron... (AMENNNNNN!) What I was referring to was the mirror to the phenomena you described-- the one where people tell all their troubles to we speerchul folks who listen well and who have a spiritual discipline that helps us do that-- people who are deaf to hearing how come our lives have come to work for us pretty well, because they still want instant answers, autofixes, and an easy way around everything they themselves have created including their lack of a spiritual life that leaves them peaceful. :~) I'm not talking about proselytizing. I'm talking about people who come asking, "How come your life is working so well?" but who can't stand to hear the answer. This isn't limited to Christians-- I am sure people who believe in ANYTHING encounter the same phenomenon all too often.

Call it laziness, call it denial-- people of all faiths or beliefs tend to it. One more thing we have in common, even when we may look like we're "arguing religion."
