Not everybody agrees on what an “orderly desire” is.

It’s high time to quit playing footsie with philosophy. Call personally on the Lord like your eternal life depended upon it.

footsie with philosophy? That's catchy, but what does it mean?

Confucius spent his life attempting to bring order to a society much out of control (the Warring States Period). He didn't address religion, but political science, sociology, and yes, philosophy.

I of course accept your directive to seek the Lord while He may be found, but a study of the wise ones throughout history is a worthwhile pursuit.
