Hear, hear. And, uh, yeah, we slightly hijacked your thread.

Rob,
If you're still reading, I really do apologize for hijacking this thread (because a large part of this was my fault). It wasn't my intention to set this thing down this road, only to give my belief about what "the bloody point is." However, philosophical/ theological arguments are generally not reassuring in and of themselves, and I'm sure this is not what you were looking for in the original post. I do hope (and pray) that everything is allright.
