Don't apologise to me. I was quoting Woody..I also happen to agree with him, though I am not religious by any means. I am spiritual. I think what he meant was LOVE IS, when it comes down to it, human beings are in a sorry state without love.

As I said before, it seems the very broad brush of generalisation is being used a lot in here, esp. in your postings, Steve. There are plenty of Christians who believe in a metaphysical translation of the Bible, believe Jesus was an avatar, one among several throughout the ages, etc., much as LH posted a while back. It just doesn't do to make sweeping statements, lumping all of one group together when the group is so broad.

There are myriad of these discussions in old threads at the Mudcat. If you do a little research you will find more than you probably imagine exists, here.:-)

Slag, glad you liked it.
