[Telepathic Intruder]

I have to admit I’m expert in very little, and I don’t really consider myself as spiritual as some think of me, but more than some others. It depends on which side I choose to show. I have to relate, however, that I also know some someone close who is a staunch Hillary supporter and an active member of a Catholic church. I don’t know how the two can be compatible. I want to separate politics from religion, but there are too many issues that overlap. I’ve no idea what to do about it. For now it’s just been to politely disagree without getting all fire and brimstone about it.

Sorry I dumped all that on you. Spirituality is a quality that can't be quantified because people define and view it differently. With people and religion and politics, hard to separate in these times; surely things must get strained at times but best not to alienate friends and family if possible. Back to whether you are expeet or not, I just liked the way you reason and and seemed to have incorporated your faith into your worldview succinctly but sparingly.

Just when I was about ready to give up on Glenn Beck, he had a rabbi guest on today, history and theology teacher, with surprising views. Explained an old trade rouge from Mombassa north through the Red Sea to Eilat at the southern tip of Israel in ancient times. He claims Somalia and Yemen were named by Hebrew words, Somalia or Somal (phoneetic) means left and Yemen means right.
