"And our Creator is? The God of the Jews? The God of the Christians? The God of the Muslims? The God of the ancient Babylonians? We have lots of Gods to choose from, Jam; which one would you like? Or is that phrase supposed to be an indicator of "my god's better than your god"?" Good one! And true. I was raised in a family consisting of rather lapsed Catholics, Christians, and Jews. My great-grandfather was a Shaman and a Seer, and I spent time working in a Jesuit seminary. If I had to stick myself in a category I suppose I'd be a Neopagan, as they're called now. (Ah ah! I saw that, Jamball- put that match down! 8) ) Though I usually subscribe to the Way of Weatherwax (a good friend of Ms. Cosmopolite) It never helps anyone to assume that one good idea or good method is the only one, that one way of seeing things is the only one- the "of course" which is the biggest trap of the mind. "Of course" justifies any amount of things.
