  1. Kaor, Paul!

    And I still wonder which church Peter Berg belonged to, because that body took such a drastically different stand about non-humans becoming Christians than did the Roman/Jerusalem Catholic Church. I could make guesses but no evidence was ever given in "The Problem of Pain" sufficient for specific guesses. Deliberately so on Anderson's part.

    Merry Christmas! Sean

  2. Except that there are "Bible and blaster" Christians on Aeneas.
