Religious writers and audiences

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

No one sees the World.

Everyone sees an image of the World which they build internally, willingly
or no.

The sane person's version of the World more or less (note well) conforms
with the World.
