Actually I was just referring to the part of the definition that
includes his having created the universe which has specific

I am not saying that religious people need to have a complete
definition for a decent discussion, but th

However, if one applies this quote to itself, then you get
"believe not" in "believe nothing"
since (-)x(-) = (+)
we get: "believe not" in "believe nothing" = "believe everything"
and this is what I have heard Charlie Lutz and Amma and others say,

OK I think I get it now. Sullivan is a:
Catholic who doesn't believe that the Pope has a special relationship
with the truth of reality.

Hey Turq,
Let me be playful here and see if this very fine work of yours below
