You assume too much, Donuel, as does Mr. Shaw. How do you know that my position is fixed? All I know, is that I seek that which is beyond, and "Beyond" keeps getting farther away. When you assume you know what other people think, you are most likely wrong. And as for my own religious practices, I reveal as little as possible to the likes of you and Mr. Shaw. They're my business.

And let me repeat my request that this thread stay away from the subject of religion, although I confess that I've been drawn into the subject here at times. Mr. Shaw is foaming at the mouth with his anti-religious absolutisms, and it makes it difficult to carry on a rational discussion. Perhaps if we don't talk about his pet obsession, he'll be able to speak rationally.
