tinkerbell, well that seems the gist of the whole discussion. Is predisposition your excuse?

Tho with great personal difficulty, Christ was in the position to offer others a way around or thru their own personal pre-dispositions. And usually with similar personal pain and tribulations. Ultimately, he showed that there was a way thru the end-all pre-disposition, personal death.

Well, it was until I read Nard's post! I'm double-locking the doors tonight.

Maybe the problem is that it IS in plain English!

Now if they could only fiddle with chicken and turkey genes with an end toward satisfying those of us who have a predisposition for enjoying drumsticks!

BII, better still: cross a chicken with an octopus. That way, everybody gets a leg.

(Unless it's a Ray Harryhausen octopus, in which case one person goes without.)
