"I would not renounce Christianity on account of an Emile. Heck no, I did it myself a long time ago, and by introspective means." It is easy to reounce what you never had. Had you ever experienced being Born Again and having the Holy Spirit living in you, you could not renounce it without renoucing reality itself. What you renounced was a social convention that was superficially imposed upon your mind. You had a socially contructred reality of Christianity but not the real thing. After you are Born Again, to renounce Christ is like renoucing the reality of self. What you renounced was your cultural Christianity. I did the same in my youth but when I met the substance of Christianity I bent my neck. Jesus is real. Again I ask you to do a simple experiment. Come to a moment of quietness in your heart and say out loud Mohammad, Buddha and then Jesus. You will feel nothing with the first two, but the third will penetrate your heart. He is alive and his name has power. Only a dead heart cannot feel the power in Jesus's name.

I am sorry, Alex: These summer, non-teaching, days, I watch Canada Stockwatch to see if I will be in poverty or pleasure for my final years. (Right now, with nothing but Alberta Diamond Play stocks, I am seeing bad things in the market - but good things in the long-run prognosis.) As I watch, putting off the day-to-day things that I should be doing, I balance the Stockwatch Ticker with AOL games like Out of Order and Strike a Match. I also keep reading the Alberta Diamond Play threads on SI, and this Feelings one. I am so disgusted with the cogent responses this X-hole, Emile, gets to his defecations! You, Craig, CGB, and penni all honor him with sensible attempts at dialogue. And you all seem to be so much fuller, to have so much more that you can contribute to, that honoring Emile is, to me, a blasphemy. There is such grace, ingenuity, resourcefulness, versatility, in all of you. I am X'd that you sidetrack any of it to such a fool. My reading of your post, to which I responded, was shallow and rapid. I reacted to the interpretation that such a shoddy reading gave. Please excuse me - and direct Emile to God. (penni, after swearing off the idiot, even comes back in attempt to reach mind through muck.) With frustration (probably because of the Alberta Stock Exchange), I remain, I hope, one close with you. george
