I, for one, do not mind at all discussing any theory concerning CH, as long as the proponent of said theory is intellectually honest. My own intellectual curiosity concerning your theological interpretations boils down to this: In your eyes--or perhaps I should say, in your God's eyes--what is JUSTIFIABLE suffering? Do I suffer because of all the naughty things I have done in my long and sinful life? Does Simon suffer because he is an insufferable Englishman? :-)
Why isn't this level of suffering reserved for the ax murderers or the child molesters? Could I offer a somewhat simpler explanation than being visited by demons? Oh, don't get me wrong; I believe that the beast is truly evil but I don't believe he sprang from your bible to bash the heads of good little boys and girls. I believe that if God exists, she is one mean bitch. I also don't put a lot of trust in the daily horoscope.
I personally think it extremely arrogant of anyone to presume to have discovered the moral answer to anything, much less fucking clusters. So much for civil discourse. Amen.
