King- my Nova Scotia amigo- I see that you have somehow become, unwillingly, a "new whipping boy" on this thread! There are no "right or wrong" sides to the views you raised (and I share with you in spirit)and friend Tim S. can rest easy- no movie quotes- just this: (1) a 1960's song written by Phil Ochs-"There but for Fortune Go You Or I" (2) a poem- author unknown to me- entitled "Richard Cory" and (3) a parable-again, author unknown- goes like this "One night an older man of means had a dream-in which Jesus told him that He would visit him soon- the man woke up, went to his office, and a ragged panhandler asked him for a handout- the man took him to a nearby diner and bought him a full meal-and went back to his office- days passed, and again at night, in a dream- he saw Jesus and asked Him why He hadn't paid him the visit that was promised- 'Ah, but I did- I was the homeless man you feed the other morning- did you think I might be coming to see you in a cloud of Light. trumpets blowing? I came that way to test you-and you did well'"!
