I never thought about that. That makes perfect sense.

Thank-you. I think from now on I'll stick to the JoS site, and have my questions answered here.

Thank you for the info. I have a question but do not want to offend anyone. Out of curiosity, and before I found the JoS site, I read The Satanic Bible. Please explain to me why he is different/no good. I mean no disrespect, I just want to know the right way.

Thank you. I believe I am ready to take this step.
