My take on OR is that he used to be a Calflick or something in the Christian line of country. Somewhere in the past the natural hunger for reason and qauitable dealings among human-type personnel, which is strong in him, was outraged.
I am familiar, probably we ALL have experienced bogus argument, fallacious reasoning based on questionable premises and presented as so self-evident that only wicked people would question the offered conclusion. One day OR had had enough, because unlike our Islamic brethren he was sure that Ultimate Reality and Reason have a discernible and possibly even an essential relationship, despite the imperfections of human reason.
He is drawn to threads like these by his Diogenes-like desire to see, before he dies, if there may be somewhere a person both reasonable AND devout.
When one of us commits an error in reason it is, to him, like fingernails on a blackboard or someone chanting the name of the first girl to give him the toss, and the pain leads him to respond sometimes bitterly. I consider him kin, even if he is as I suppose technically an apostate, because my guess is he loves the Good and is irritated that there isn't more evidence of it.
Hey, OR, How'd I do? Anywhere close?
I am convinced God loves us all and doesn't care a whit what "Church" we belong to or what "formula" we adhere to, just that we love Him and do the best we can.
