MP: Ron, thank you for your honesty and patient persistence with this. Its 
refreshing. And "alas" indeed. However, If *I* as a theist can think this way, 
does that not allow for the possibility of others? I'm not special in that sense, no 
genius, no savant. Just thinking hard about what I believe and why.

I will say though that if you think *my* hoe is tough to row, how will it be any 
easier to row trying to apply MoQ on a society where they can't even manage 
theism without botching it up?
