Hi George,

George, the rules of the list say LACK of interest, not too much interest,
determine if it is more appropriate to take a discussion off list :-)
>I was not expressing any criticism of Sondra's questions,
That's nice to hear.

Hence the need for discussion.

To be honest, I thought that Sondra's questions got down to the
"presupposition"
level that we are normally too "afraid" to talk about. I wish more people
would
raise these issues. I think that it would make discussions A LOT more
fruitful.

FWIW, I don't feel like talking about original sin at the moment. From my
reading of Sondra's post, I don't think that was her main point. I'm
willing
to let the discussion "go where it may" and die if there is lack of
interest.
Take care,
Jim
