Mark, that was a fantastic post. Don't just feel free to expound, know that I'm sitting here hoping that you will. I don't know enough about Christianity to do a credible job of it. Right now, for me, it's all rather like spotting a blue bird and saying "Hey, that looks a bit like the sky." Sure, in thinking, they are inextricably connected: yes, on the surface they share a color, but that is merely illusionary. Looking more deeply, one survives within the other. Talk about attachment.

So that parallel just worked way too well for comfort. I'm going to class now and thinking about fixing the ozone. That's easy.
