Thank you Joe for the most interesting link!

I've been thinking about the difference between "who art" and "which art". "Which art" implies an impersonal 'God" - perhaps an 'energy', a 'state of consciouness' existing in and through all things. "Who                                     is implies a PERSONAL 'God'... 'who' exists somewhere, but definitely apart from oneself.

These differences DO have a signifigant effect on what people are taught to believe about the nature of 'God' and themselves as spiritual beings!!

IMO there's a big difference between "on earth" and "in earth" as well.
"In earth" implies that 'God' is IN the earth, that Earth is therefore sacred and holy. "On earth" implies that 'God' exists apart and separate from earth, and earth is therefore no longer sacred and holy.

And thus, perhaps, people's attitudes were prepared for the onset of economic capitalistism - the exploitation and destruction of the Earth and all of 'Her' resources which coincided with the Protestant revolution. And 'cured' the 'pagans' of their self-empowering earth-oriented ways ...

Could that have been Henry's counsel?? Hmmm
