Oh sorry old world, that has such persons as prefer tattered literary allusions
to thoughtful argument.
There are perhaps 10 contributors to *.religion.* whose articles strike me as
penetrating. (At least two of them are Christian.) Gary is perhaps the most
erudite of that bunch. Most other contributors repeat tired, old errors that
are generally scoffed at in intellectual circles. Or worse, resort to no
content but derision, as in the above statement.
