Yes, Jon, we are in truth all relevant...in a spiritual sense...and we are relevant as individuals. ;-) That doesn't, however, mean that people's hostile blather on the usual political and anti-religious threads here is terribly relevant...generally speaking they are just venting, in my opinion, hanging out their dirty mental laundry and defending it to a world which, frankly, doesn't care.

But I enjoy talking with you, because you seem to be a person of goodwill. You bother to attempt to demonstrate goodwill, and that's all that's needed to have a worthwhile conversation.

Those who are almost chronically in a state of badwill here, however, and there are quite a few of them...I enjoy making fun of them, rattling the bars of their little cages, pulling their chains, as it were. And they always react in a suitable manner, of course, which makes it worth the effort.
