Sorry if I've caused you upset or distress.

I never meant to sound sarcastic, except where I'm obviously being lighthearted about something.

Often there's a lack of understanding through these type of posts.... lack of tone of voice.... etc.

My very best wishes to you.

I consider it common knowledge because it is widely accepted by humans across the world, across culture, across race, and across the centuries. To me that is a common body of knowledge.

Speaking of sexual relations in the afterlife, I wonder what the angels do on a Saturday night. I mean after a long week on the job don't you think they'd just like to get out and have a little fun?

Speaking of angels: are they born? assuming they never die. They love the world; they love themselves; but even in the garden of Eden humans can't decide which way to love.

Just to give you a heads up, If I remember right the angles in the bible are all male. I suspect those angles from Victoria’s catalogs might not be on the menu. I hate to be a party pooper.

They have to stay in and do their wings and stuff. I mean, after a week on the job I'm sure they'd have some ruffled feathers that would need to be preened... haloes polished.... harps tuned or re-strung.... clouds to be fluffed up... etc. Ain't easy being an angel y'know.

And even harder when you realise..... no sex!

And it is also widely unaccepted by humans across the world, cultures, and races - for many varied reasons.

That's why I cannot consider any idea of the supernatural to be common knowledge.

Yes, people put on blinders all the time, and choose to ignore what is all around them, including shutting off and shutting down their own senses, you are certainly right about that.
