The trouble us, dear boy, that some of us did get connected, but what we found wasn't your God at all..oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. How could that BE? It couldn't be because we weren't looking for Him, could it?..you see after a while we realised you could find whatever you WERE looking for, which made a bit of a mockery of the God thing, since it became obvious that wishful thinking got you where you wanted to go anyway..without any need to have a God pulling the strings. You might say we waved at God, and got past to the other side...you SHOULD study your Jewish teachings a bit more. They quite rightly equate the Christian god/paradise et etc. with merely a way station on the way to somewhere quite different. Its just the way it looks from down where you happen to be, that's all. > Gordon
