No, no, God isn't the only onw who knows why. I think that I have a lot
more in common with the Christian and Muslim mystics than with the
logical positivists, and with the philosophical linguists, or the
Kantian deontelogists -- I think that the word is fine. When I want to
disassociate myself from them I can do this as well. Nobody else wants
to redefine the word ``religion'' Rich. Strange as it may seem to you,
I have lot more important things to discuss with religious people before
worrying whether they believe in God or not. Why should you think that
this distinction should be an important one, wheras ``whether my tradition
can claim the right to Apostolic Succession'' is an unimportant one?
