> Lou - The only differnce between a cult and a religion is approximately one hundred years. It is nice to have beliefs; and if something works for you, then go for it. There is no need to couch the facts in vagueries and parables. If the psychological reasoning behind the story is sound, then there is no need to dress it up.

Your entire theory could be stated in one post and in plain English, and in point form (eg. 1. forgive others, 2. be kind, etc.). Suspense is best left to mystery novels, IMO.

I am not giving a theory. I am telling what I experianced. It is not a mystery for I am willing to reveal all that I experianced. I can only write what I have experianced. I am only telling you that I have experianced people mocking me when I spoke about the Road, they yelled out to the people that were listening to not listen to me. They gave all kinds of reasons why people should not listen to me. They used the ploy of associating me with bad people. They said that I hung around with prostitutes and criminals. They used the ploy that I was using the wrong "form" in what I was saying. They used the ploy that since there are fairy tales written , then what I was saying is also a fairy tale. They used the ploy that I was trying to get them into a cult. They used the ploys that have been directed at me on this board 30 years ago. It is nothing new to me. Thiis happenend to me over 30 years ago. Today that experiance is more vivid to me for I have seen more suffering. It is only those that are suffering that can understand what I am writing. Let them hear.
