My goodness. Ray, I think the way you and I feel about Lou's responses is the same. Lou, why are you so evasive and analytical? I think the whole point of a good discussion is just speaking from the heart without thinking about it too much, for there is always plenty of time to think about it later. I can't remember where I saw it, but someone said once that "God acts in passion and rests in reason."
That said, let's leave most of the analysis outside of this forum. Write and post with PASSION. The twists and turns are making me dazed and confused and exhausted! It's like talking about a favorite flavor of Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Are we going to talk about all the ingredients that go into a particular flavor, then speak of the chemical makeup of each ingredient, then expound on the molecular breakdown of each component of each ingredient, until the frozen confection is reduced to a condensed package of humming electrons zooming around clusters of neutrons and protons? Did we forget that we are talking about humming chocolate hazelnut electrons zooming around clusters of cashew neutrons and rich raspberry protons? Aren't we getting further and further away from the practically orgasmic moment when we open our mouths to a heavenly spoonful and let the lump of frozen ecstasy melt on our expectant tongues? The soft shudders and luxurious feelings of joy that wash over our bodies as we dig our spoon in for another bite of nirvana?
Do you get what I am saying here? And Lou, I don't know what it was that Dr. Bob slapped your wrist for, but I would like to think that he would encourage discussions of ALL kinds, lest they were hurtful to any of the other members of this forum. I haven't posted here in a long time, but I used to. All Dr. Bob ever demanded was civility. Back then, religious topics were a bit more shied away from, and there was only one Psycho-Babble. Now there are at least half a dozen to suit our fancies. SHARE with us, Lou! I want ICE CREAM!
ps - This applies to you too, Ray. This O of Y without H is making me very T!
