No slam here. I'd just like to reiterate a point I've made before, and
that is that theologins and other religious scholoars tend to operate
according to a different set of rules than do lay followers. They seem
to be hosting a very diffeent meme-complex than the people who fill the
pues on Sunday. The scholars tend to be more rational and open to
rational challenge and apt to return reasoned argument with reasoned
argument.

Take care. -KMO
