Well, the only time I would ever consider criticizing your heart-felt beliefs is when they are on a public forum opposed to MY heart felt beliefs. It may surprise you to know that I have probably read as much "believer" literature as you have. In this world I encourage those who have overcome their problems with any of the world's Gods. It is good to see people on their feet, and I have no need to "correct" them... On a public BB where my beliefs are challenged (even by default), I have no problem pointing out how irrational is the picture of several groups of people INSISTING they have the HOLY TRUTH--when none of them have anything but old scrolls (and half scrolls not eaten by wild animals--a favourite food of ANIMALS) that had nothing to do with US, but only with THEM. Anyway, if Copeland knows all about the Lord, I guess it must be exciting.

Your request for my point is based on your opinion that all mature people will agree with the collective will. Only immature people will desire to be free of the collective will and maybe build a boat and sail away. I forgot to respond to this, as it didn't come over the batter's box. I said nothing about a collective will. It was about living free and responsible with problem resolution through dialogue and consensus. The "WILLS" would not fuse into a distinct organism... Well, maybe they would. Perhaps that is the future of BEES--but that is not what I meant.
