Reading the various items kwritten here, I am reminded of Plato's allegory of the Cave. (7th Book of the Republic.) Some men were chained inside a cave. Their backs were to the mouth of the cave. As people walked in front of the mouth of the cave their bodies made shadows on the wall in front of the men. From the shadows, they decided what reality was like. When taken out into the light of day where they could see the real world, they did not believe it. Some of the pontifications expressed here betray some ignorance of the Scriptures. At best you have seen shadows so why all the insults that have been cast about. Let him who fully understands the mind of God enlighten the rest of us.
