Hmmm. Tables are a good tool for getting your point across.

It's hard to insert a counterpoint without ruining the pretty table. ;)

You probably already know about the many tables that define the circles
of heaven, the circles of hell, the ranks of angels and demons.

And you have obviously seen an accountants tables... the goal always is
order, an irrefutable balance at the bottom.

I disagree with every "cell" of my being :)

Can we look this from the other end of the telescope?

Defining what something is not is the easiest thing in the world.

Can you describe in greater detail what you mean in the second row of
the Table.

I also do not understand why you have labelled things a contradiction.

If I use a spoon to eat, and use a spoon to dig dirt, am I hypocrit?

If I continue to call it a spoon and instead of a small shovel am I
contradicting myself?

off topic: there has been a thread on the validity of the bible and
references to the council that put it together. I am interested in
writing a story (novella?) about the years surrounding the baptism of
Emperor Constantin. If there are still any theologians on the list (Have
we scared that guy away?) or anyone who has any insight on the early
christian movement, the underground camps and the early priestesshood,
I'd be interested in picking your brain either in a thread or through
private mail.
