Whoa! I guess I should say thanks for clearing up the mystery for me, but reading that makes me want to lift my thoughts upward and dwell on the omnipotence and total goodness of God.
What "Mother Abigail" describes is seen through the eyes of someone who claims to be "religious" yet:
Q: MA, I have read some of your writing about the great apes, do you feel they are near extinction?MA: Well the non-human great apes are not doing that well, but we humans are quite successful.
Q: Are people great apes?
MA: Why yes, didn't you know that?
Q: I am embarrassed to say no.
I don't know about you, but after reading that little exchange, I question the veracity of anything "she" has to say. [see John 8:44 in The Holy Bible]
