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.

I am enjoying watching the multiple Catholic
viewpoints and just wanted to put in that you have an
Eastern Orthodox viewer.

To that end I find the point of Resurrected
souls/bodies discussion an outstanding one.  In
Orthodoxy both Horn and Silk (and Pas and Pig for that
matter) would "...see my creator ... with my own
eyes..." for the Universal Resurrection.  Each would
presumably carry the residue of the merger into his
transfigured life.

As far as Alga saying:

I wouldn't take that bet.  The references have been
pretty damn good so far.
