    There’s a rule for this situation:
    “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone …”
    Sorted.

    No worries CP. I think that was a Monkey Island joke (if he got it) between me and Epo.

    Oh sorry, what I meant to say was: You fight like a dairy farmer.

    In that case I’ll be sure to wear my Doc Martens.

    If you apply the right algorithms to your spreadsheets, then you can, indeed make any statistical anomaly disappear. But the only use that mathematics has is in being isomorphic to reality.
    Of course.

    I assure you independent of any theological supports that Christians, Muslims, Jews, and unbelievers have statistically significant and measurable deviations in outlook, feeling, response, and forgiveness.

    I would encourage you to adjust your thinking ever so slightly, viz:
    You are certainly entitled to be wrong. – BAD (implies judgement)
    You are certainly entitled to be different. – GOOD (neutral as to consequences)

    As Dave Allen used to say “May your god go with you.” This is the sort of generosity that I admire. It means that there are no Christians, Muslims, apostates or unbelievers. All these differences fall down. I am very sure that we choose our own gods (usually the family heirloom) and then lie to ourselves about it.

    Mathematics is only useful to us because of its isomorphism to various real world operations; without it, all mathematics would be nothing more than an interesting intellectual puzzle. The only pitfall is when we think we can construct the two transform functions and assume an isomorphism which isn't there; if we're mistaken, then math will give us the wrong answer. It's not that the math is false, rather it's that either the transforms were incorrect or the function we tried to use wasn't really isomorphic to the physical reality. For example, if we try to navigate a globe using a flat map and Euclidean geometry, we'll get lost. Plane geometry is not isomorphic to nagivation on the surface of a sphere. Spherical geometry, on the other hand, is.
    You are hazy and evasive because you are immature, mis-educated, and provincial. I assure you independent of any theological supports that Christians, Muslims, Jews, and unbelievers have statistically significant and measurable deviations in outlook, feeling, response, and forgiveness.

    You are certainly entitled to be wrong.

    How much MORE important is it to be prepared for an appointment that has an ETERNAL impact?
