But your link is bad... you link to us on P&D, which we appreciate, but probably not what you intended. Here is the proper link:

On Mark's thoughts, I agree. a pox on pagan philosophers. Let the Bible say what it says.

Thanks, fixed the link in the Filings post.

Views expressed are always my own and not my employer's, my church's, my family's, my neighbors', or my pets'. The house plants have authorized me to speak for them, however, and they always agree with me.
