PeterGene writes says his use of "Sorry" was unfortunate.

Actually, PeterGene, I am trying to break EVERYBODY here from being apologetic asbout doing their own thinking. This is routine and I have said this many times to others.

I can't tell that English is not your native tongue by your writings. The ONLY mistake you make is using "i" instead of "I." I have no idea whey we capitalize that pronoun and no other.

Budarick also shows that much of what I have to say about Wordism and bureaucracy is well known by wise men:

"My teacher, when I was a young man told us an interesting story."

"I will paraphrase it here because I think the story describes beautifully what is wrong with religion."

"He said: 'One day God and Satan were going for a stroll together looking for converts.

They followed a man they thought was ripe for the picking. Suddenly the man stopped walking and looked down. He saw something and picked it up. They could see a radiant glow of bliss come over his eyes and face. Satan asked God 'What did that man find which has changed him so?' God replied: 'It is a bad day for you old fellow, that man found a piece of truth!' Satan replied smiling: 'Oh no old chap, all I have to do is wait and let him organize it!'"
