Thanks, Sori, for raising an interesting angle for discussion. My experience has been that Mudcat is seldom an effective medium for religion discussions, but it was a good opening post.

Thanks, Mick, for clearing that up.

Thanks, Lepus, for the best-organized and funniest post I've seen in quite some time.

Thanks, you three and everyone else, for choosing Mudcat for your posting pleasure. Hope to meet y'alls I ain't yet met, and see the rest of y'alls soon.
