Sign from the fish's belly

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.

Yes, Josh, I got that, and I agree, it is a strong
deterent. I merely point out the other reasons as
well. I merely point out that there is more than one
reason to rebell, as it were. Then there are those
prophets who dig it, and more power to them. God calls
us all in different ways, one could say, and we all
respond to that call differently, according to the
situation, both inwardly and outwardly. But yes,
certainly, fear of death or other reprisal is
definately a valid concern.=20
