[Vision2020] Lies????

[Carl Westberg]

The last few days have really been taxing my admittedly limited intellectual 
capacity, particularly the exchanges between Doug Jones and Wayne Fox.  I 
now know what the late George Gobel meant when he said "Did you ever feel 
like the whole world is a black tuxedo and you're a pair of brown shoes?"  
As someone who knows nothing about quantum physics and even less about 
Trinitarian Christianity, perhaps I can ask Doug to clarify for the less 
mentally nimble among us on this listserve some examples of "inescapable" 
slavery?
