Thanks for such an eloquent response,
wdevauld! You really cleared some things up for me, even though I realized as I read your response that I had originally known what you were saying, it had slipped my thoughts temporarily, thanks for grounding it again
And now that I know we have very similar beliefs about organized religion and such I would love to hear any other opinions you have on the subject...
EDIT: I googled David James Duncan. and I remember having The River Why in my PILE of books I am currently working through, thanks for the recommendation though, that will give it a tad bit more priority
