It is rather a ...F -- not offended by long quotes. It is rather a thoughtless intrusion, though, like a drunk at a party insisting on telling a long rambling story that goes nowhere and makes its point, if at all, only be inference. I find it best to sort of limit the length of such citations, with a judicious use of ellipses. While I'm utterly in love with my own words, those of others must be as disciplined as an ancient bonsai. <BR/><BR/>Your theory about the meaning between the letters is an old one -- I came across it years ago with regard to Hebrew and Phonician characters.

Leave things ambiguous or...Yeah, I always do that. Leave things ambiguous or on a sour note. I think of it as a sarcastic homage to fairmindedness. In this case it was just an echo of my resolve at the beginning to stick to the facts. I didn't, of course, but I hardly ever do. I excuse myself of such inconsistencies. To me, and to you no doubt as well, the idea that wrong, some wrong, is arbitrary is simply absurd. If a reader doesn't pick up on my tone, it wouldn't be the first time. I'm not writing for children though, and in the fuller context of this blog my meaning should break through. Too much to ask? Yes it is. Nevertheless, I build mosaics, here, not stick figures.<BR/><BR/>Mine here was simply an amoral approach. I didn't deal with right and wrong, or in our case, with the Bible and its absolutes. Such arguments can work, because "the word does not return empty" -- but I'm not sewing, here ... I'm plowing. Preparing the field, not seeding it. That's for another time, or someone else. <BR/><BR/>Pax. <BR/><BR/>JJack Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04599425185005999225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19936712.post-19861370111935525962008-06-18T08:28:00.000-07:002008-06-18T08:28:00.000-07:00Where does it say it's okay for followers of Moham...Where does it say it's okay for followers of Mohammad to have oral sex with young children or animals? The Book of Islam or somewhere else?<BR/><BR/>I find many of your arguments against gay marriage (and polygamy) compelling, however, by choosing your "arbitrary" ending, you leave the reader with the impression that, although man and woman marriage has withstood the test of time, there remains the possibility that maybe some enlightened society could some day come up with something better ... which is exactly what gays would argue. Of course, the Christian would argue marriage (along with celibacy in certain limited cases) is correct (and sacred) because "God made them male and female ... to be fruitful and multiply ... and what God has joined let no man separate. True freedom then is laying down one's life for one's friend ... and if the Christian IS correct, a husband or wife will have no better friend than their mate.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://cathlete.net" REL="nofollow">-Tom O'Toole</A>Tom O'Toolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08154253631377217778noreply@blogger.com
