Well, not quite.  Jeff has indeed prosyletized, unless telling the
world that Christ is the answer does not fit the definition of that
word.  But that's not the point.  Jeff has told us that he is 28
years old and desperate for female companionship.  It seems to me
that his spiritual fulfillment is keeping him from the personal
fulfillment he seeks.  And I've told him so.  But his desperation
has got him clinging to his religion all the more.  And something
is amiss in Jeff's logic:  If Christ is the answer to everything,
Jeff, why are you asking *US* for help you don't want?

Ah yes--reminds me of an incident a friend related to me.  He was
hitchhiking in England many years ago, couldn't get a ride for hours,
and started singing to himself--rather loudly--out on the lonely
plains of East Anglia.  He was getting all worked up on the Beatle's
"a working-class hero is something to be" when a car pulled up just
long enough for the driver to shout at him, "Then be one!"
