But that would be the height of arrogance, wouldn't it?  How can
you contrast a religious choice *that you don't even know*, and
certainly have never experienced, to your own?  Not to mention

systems are not integers.  I respect your rapture, Jeff (even though
I see scant evidence of any helpful effect); you respect mine!
