The attack on God and morals is an attack on any authority except the self.

Yep, that's what it all seems to boil down to, gore3000. It is a quite futile attempt at self-divinization....

Hi, bb! The following has nothing to do with the topic or the thread, at least not directly, but just a way to say "hello" after so long a time. (Interestingly enough, the thread itself tends to prove the premis of the article.) Anyway...

One door away from Heaven,
We live each day and hour.
One day away from Heaven,
But it lies beyond our power
To open the door to Heaven
And enter when we choose.
One door away from Heaven,
And the key is ours to lose.
One day away from Heaven,
But, oh, the entry dues.
The Book of Counted Sorrows

And just a "hi" to you, A-G.
