If I implied that you were a "rabid agnostic," that was not my intention. In fact I percieved your position as expressed in the book to be atheistic in that you had rationally rejected the idea of a omnipotent being. Aparently I was wrong on that too.

I really just meant to point out that if we can in our limited means conceptualize the idea of a life beyond our mortal bonds and an omnipotent being who exists in all dimensions of thought and physical reality then to say that we can't conceptualize an existence outside of our own experiences seems illogical. I had dreams of flying before I rode a roller coaster ride or flew in a plane and even though I saw creatures that could fly, physically I am not capable of flying, yet still I could conceptualize myself flying. Go, figure.

If I am misconstruing what you have implied please enlighten me.

I do agree that (paraphrasing) the more we know the more freedom we have. It might also be said that the more we know the more aware we are of the limits placed upon our freedoms.

Anyway Happy Holidays and I'm honored to be a featured contributer to this ezine with such fine authors as yourself and the crew and other contributers at LFA.

God Bless You All,
Kevin Joseph Tull
