It seems you don't like to examine primary evidence, and you are like some others who speak about things they do not fully understand.
... trust me, I understand a great deal more than what I lead on...

I merely point out their blind acceptance of falsehoods and nonsense that religious organizations feed to their masses week after week---to people
like you who do NOT BOTHER to study the subject in any depth beyond the surface.
... and which subject is that? One of your choosing? Perhaps, if you knew just how fall 'below the surface' I have travelled... but that would be
revealing more that what some claim...

I sincerely pity people like yourself who live in this twilight world of myth and half-truths who blindly believe things they do not understand, or do
not even want to bother to investigate for themselves is all.
...world of myth and half-truths? why, all religions are myths and half-truths. Everything seen on TV is a half-truth. Blindly believe? Well, I
guess it could be said the blind lead the dumb...

Sad really. Pick up a book sometime. You might learn something.
Judge not, least ye be judged yourself, blah blah blah...
And before you dare to place me into a catagory of your own choosing, perhaps you should learn more about myself, hmm? Here I was, becoming more and
more... perturbed... by your irrogance, when I realized that there really isn't a need to. You are the 'sad one', to use your own words... you
seek meaning in words written by man, without feeling the meaning behind them. It doesn't matter how close to the original source you get... they
are still mortal words to describe something immortal.
So you go back to your documents, your dictionaries... you go back to your translations on finding whatever truth it is you are after. I know where
I stand, and where my path leads, just as I know where my paths came from... and none of them even come close to the likes of yours. I have seen
more of the workings than most hope to even read about... Pick up a book? Study? HA! If you only knew how far away from the truth you were...
And still, you evade... you, who are so wise, all knowing... shouldn't you be guiding the sheep instead of slaughtering them? And where does your
heart lay?
