The point is not about highlighting or judging anyone's lack of grammar.

It was the irony of someone lecturing and lamenting about rhetoric and what not and the superior quality of Jesuit learning and then using ellipses outrageously to incoherence. C'mon it is irresistible to comment on that. Yeah of course the polite thing would be to ignore it and address the post.

But jeez, if we all did just that ... here we are still discussing the grammar instead of the OP. Please.
Almost as bad as someone who can hardly add 2 + 2 in the way of logic and reason lecturing about using and understanding analogies. Irony is sometimes a very funny thing indeed!

One thing I learned very quickly in this and other forums is that the actual, practical definition of 'logic' is 'my opinion is'.

Actually, that was for clarity in identifying my background and perspective. If I had simply put Mystic, it would have denoted and connoted an erroneous impression of my state of knowledge and state of mind.

Why Mystic in the first place?

There you go. So clarity in communication is important. Don't fight it.

Brings us all down. Indeed the inability of so many people to separate the truth from the lies is a very dangerous thing.

Whether it be religion or politics, the result of this want to embrace falsehoods instead of the truth in order to pursue misguided agendas is a very dangerous thing indeed.

No one really knows what to do about this problem, and I'm short of answers too, but at a minimum I'd ask anyone how they go about separating the truth from the lies? Does their process pass muster?

What is your process and why does it pass muster in your opinion?
Windmills and solar panels, they seek to power the world. As they seek to harness spirit and light.

Spirit life and light are present in God's first spoken words.

The truth has a foundation that it rest's upon, a Holy Sabbath Day. A lie tries to mimic the truth in a fraudulent way, or to latch on for some semblance of footing, but it is not secure and always shifting.

The question is, which do you view as being at your expense or being your benefit. Which one provides. Abraham and Isaac know that answer.

Logic uses words and concepts. Mathematics uses numbers. Numbers never lie, words can. You seem to understand neither.
