Every time that I quote The Book, I am told that that's the Wrong Book, and I need to read a different Version of The Book, which says something totally different, and then somebody else pipes in with their Version of The Book, which says something totally different, and then somebody mentions differing Hebrew and Greek versions of The Book, which are the Only True Versions of The Book, which nobody actually has access to, assuming that they could read it if they did, so we have to rely on Translations of The Only True Versions of The Book, of which There Are Many, but only One True Translation, and the debate rages for days, sometimes weeks, and when it is all over nobody has any idea what actually happened.

Ah, then you would aspire to philosopher. That would be to determine by reasoning and logical deduction certain proofs of a philosophy that is tainted by so many presentations that they obstruct what was original. A finality is that your proofs for, will be refuted by other's proof against, and your proofs against, will be refuted by other's proof for, and the argument will remain the same.

Because all of the proofs for or against are using the same, yet different source, and all the while the argument goes unpresented by either side, as perceived by each side, based upon the variable in perfection of the same, yet different source.

I think it's bedtime now. %-)
