In the mind, you say. Of course...?

I ambled over to the God playing field in search of a Hubert Few, a dazzling and taunted mind condemned to human confinement. ( Had just run into him for the first time on Christine's Feelings playing field, an amiable enough place.)

Then, I noticed Emile was on your roster. Oi, thought I, a proselytizing, preachy thread with partisans pushing their products' perfectnesses in the conversion market. Not a good first impression.

And, I strolled past some of the Raymond, Steve, Mark exchanges on contradictions and interpretations. And I had fun. These guys, I thought, were putting their minds to use in an intellectual form of Cryptoquote. Instead of amassing sticks and stones with which to maim or eliminate each other, they were playing a fairly heady game of gotcha. Like verbal internet chess.

There were blessings and prayers conferred on each other with almost the politeness of oriental bows.

THEN I REALIZED! Some of our species' greatest bloodletters were going at the same targets that have killed millions over the centuries. Islam vs. Christian vs. (since 1947) Jew.

And nervous perspiration seeped from the inside of my skull to my temples.. gsm
