Mostlu cause many seem to think that those with a religious faith of any
kind cannot possibly espouse an existential, or contingent belief system.

Indeed a big question. And my point is that any assertion,
claim, theorum, even LAW, etc...is far far from PROVING anything. We
stake our claims, and mine is one, and rhetor from there.

I doubt muchly that anything is *ever* settled for all time, even the
space of a breath. That's why we keep coming back for more. Heh. Sarcasm
isn't necessarily ugly. Just tonally dissodent at times. The sarcasm
points to dufferences that need to be addressed. Like the "Yeah right."
tone of voice we hear so often from teens. Makes ya stop and think.

Naw. Always looking for more. Maybe I should take up golf.
