Given that this group was SUPPOSED to have been created to allow discussion
of Christian theology and belief without "interference", why is Marchionni
deliberately trying to induce such interference?  I am very sorry that he
(like Arndt) does not (and/or cannot) answer my arguments in a reasoned
fashion, that he must resort to Arndtian childishness as a form of
"communication".

Just to "make *Marchionni's* night":  (11) is nothing more than wishful
thinking (but you knew that, didn't you?), and in (18), the word ABOVE
should have been replaced with WITHOUT, no?  And, just as you feel so
sorry for me that I'll never experience divine revelation, I feel sorry for
you that you'll never experience Ubizmatic revelation.  I hope this makes
you happy.  Sorry for the "intrusion".
