It's hard to figure out who you're replying to, because you're barely
coherent.  Was it me?  Did you think an awkward attempt at snideness
delivered in all caps would convince me of something?   How about you
calm down, take a breath, and tell me something you'd like me to
consider, instead of yelling about books without pictures... I'm not a
theology expert, though I have a strong layman's interest, and my
family boasts ministers of several religions, of several different
Christian denominations and some decidedly non-Christians; one can
hardly avoid learning something about religion in my environment.

Still, there's much I don't know.  Care to talk, or were you just
passing through?

John's perfectly capable of dealing with you on his terms, I'm sure.
