You have the mood of Evangelicalism all wrong. This is more like it: I Saw the Light --------------- Words and music by Hank Williams Sr. I [G] wandered so aimless life filed with sin I [C] wouldn't let my dear saviour [G] in Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night Praise the Lord [D7] I saw the [G] light. CHORUS I saw the light I saw the light [C] No more darkness no more [G] night Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight Praise the Lord [D7] I saw the [G] light. Just like a blind man I wandered along Worries and fears I claimed for my own Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight Praise the Lord I saw the light. CHORUS I was a fool to wander and astray Straight is the gate and narrow the way Now I have traded the wrong for the right Praise the Lord I saw the light. CHORUS

Afraid I'm not familiar with the terroistic Calvinism of the 18th and 19th century. Sounds interesting, but I suspect your theory regarding evangelism and violence won't pan out. I'm pissed because I couldn't find the "Allegory in the Cave" story here.http://classics.mit.edu/Search/index.html I know it used to be there with graphs and pictures attached. I once used it in a class when discussing critical thinking. Wasn't exactly the hit I had hoped for. The recent decline in violent crimes is probably due to stiffer sentences. I once read that 70% of violent crimes are caused by repeat offenders. Michael
