Sam and I are old friends. I actually grew up in Hannibal, MO. Apart from his agnosticism (which at times I suspect was just a tongue-in-cheek way to skewer the religious hypocrites of the day—or any day.)
For the clearest description of the three in one I’d suggest a small book by Francis Schaeffer entitled, He is There and He is Not Silent. Clarified the issue to me—at least as much as it can be clarified to someone like me with a finite brain. And i suspect my brain is more finite than most. :-)
We all have good days and bad days.
