So someone who has their daughter snatched by a mentally ill individual with a "Messiah" complex now has to pass a "test" before they're considered "good people"?

Wow. No wonder there are so many Clintonoids around. The criteria certainly are easier, and the benefits greater.

My comment, ADDRESSED TO HILDY, never used the word "good".

HER assertion was that the Smarts were “good, religious”.
Since “there is none good” (Jesus, the Christ) and the religious were numbered among his detractors and killers and not necessarily on His admired side in any event, all one can do is be willing to believe what Hildy proposed (that the Smarts would give away the monetary gain).

In fact it was Hildy’s virulent assertion that they would give the monetary gain away so long as they were enabled to control the way the story is told.

The results of the tested assertion will be obvious in due time Will the monetary gain be given away in entirety as vehemently asserted? The tax deduction for that would result in enormous gain itself.

Somewhere in all this you made an assumption, defended your opinion of the contention and ended with a characterization of the effect of your interpretation of my post on the board . “No wonder there are so many Clintonoids around “ The whole constitutes a remarkable occurrence!

Viewed in the context that God is not a respecter of persons and those who are His are enjoined to be like Him, one wonders what difference would have obtained had I been known as a Mormon.
