urth-urth.net Digest, Vol 4, Issue 19

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.

Yeah, I think it probably had some influence on it - if only because it 
shows that alternative ways of thinking of God can be valid

I'll give it a shot over Christmas - I'll actually have the books with me 
once I'm home for the holidays!

Mind you, I'm not convinced that any examples I find will be that 
convincing; I'm prone to rather extreme extrapolations from limited 
evidence...
