Wonderful suggestions!! :) Thanks a lot. I'll try some
of that-- certainly more promising than the
Lucado-and-his-clones stuff I'm usually stuck with. ;)

Things like that (how you - and no doubt others - had
pretty much the same problems with this sort of stuff
decades ago) really show just how little these darn
religious memes have diminished - or even changed -
over time. Then from only a thirty-year period one
goes to thinking about how they've been basically the
same for millennia, just with slight variations in the
names, powers, and manifestations of the gods.

Yeah! I'll remember that one! :)
Thanks,
