Bob and I agree on one thing: read Mere Christianity.  But what does "don't
let him set you up" mean?  If you are looking out for the uneducated on the
net; fine: a little education (especially Christian education :-) won't
hurt anybody here.  But be careful; there are those here who frown on that
sort of thing.  Read it.  Also, read The Abolition of Man; it is a good book
that goes with Mere Christianity, and deals with human morality.  

That I am somebody's enemy, I already knew: St. Paul said as much when he
spoke of wrestling against principalities and powers in Ephesians 6:12.
But I hope that no one here actually thinks of me as their "enemy."
