Hi, Judy! I would think debating could be fun whether the debaters are feeding their egos or voicing the will of God, which strike me as two very different impulses. So the fact that I'm having fun may not really tell me whether my arguing is abetting my pursuit of enlightenment or fooling me into thinking I'm On The Path. - Patrick Gillam To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
