Have you ever tried it, I don't mean common sense:)

:-) ! LOL.

I'm wondering if it's possible at all, honestly. Every one of us reads articles like the one posted here, and determines whether it is true or applicable or wrong depending on where we sit theologically. You know what I mean?

Try as I might, using the formula outlined in this essay (because for a few years I was indeed a lapsed, questioning Catholic), I could never get beyond John 6 and the Catholic and Orthodox belief of what He said, without adding to it to make what He said mean something else. This is what kept me Catholic.

BTW, I don't want to get into anything other than a discussion here, it's just when I read the conclusion by the author, I honestly see circular reasoning in it and therefore, I was left still wondering how the author proved "Who is right" to anyone other than those who agree with him. His own method is the one that every other religion claims as their own method, and yet no one agrees on "Who is right."

It is one of the last incredible days of summer here in the northeast, so I am going "down the cape" to attend the Scallop Festival, and won't be back until later on... so I'm not ignoring you, I just won't be around! Have a good day :-)
