But he was not discussing much about his own conversion experience, or what he heard from Christ in those silent moments of prayer. This is not an intimate portrait of his conversion. It is a discussion of the arguments of the intellect made by others.

You cannot see into the man’s soul; you can’t know what his relationship with Christ is like. It sounds a bit as though you think people have to qualify by using the Name of the Lord every x many words, or they just aren’t up to snuff. But I can’t find a place in Scripture where it says, “You must say or write ‘Jesus’ every three sentences or you aren’t a real Christian.”

You must say or write ‘Jesus’ every three sentences or you aren’t a real Christian.”

I remember after confessions, my "penance" was having to say 5 Hail Mary's and 3 Our Fathers. Or if I was REAL bad it was 10 Hail Marys and 5 Our Fathers. Is this what you mean?

“You cannot see into the man’s soul; you can’t know what his relationship with Christ is like.”

I can read what he chose to write.

“It sounds a bit as though you think people have to qualify by using the Name of the Lord every x many words, or they just aren’t up to snuff.”

No. But a conversion story without a single reference to Jesus is incomprehensible.

How about just once per chapter??? Is that too much???
