<DIV><FONT size=2>It's hard to say what the good reverend was thinking when he
made the statement:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 13px Courier" face=Courier
color=#0000ff size=4>"It doesn't crumb, and I don't like fragments of our Lord
scattering all over the floor."</FONT></DIV></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Because he is a privileged man, is it the housecleaning
part that he doesn't like? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Are fragments of our alleged Lord in the form of crackers
especially difficult to sweep or to vacuum? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Or are these fragments really flesh and blood, and therefore
clog and make a general mess out of the insides of vacuum cleaners?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Is the good reverend worried that because the alleged Lord has
become fragmentized that like the king's men dealing with humpty Dumpty, the
alleged Lord will not be put back together again? But doesn't the same
problem arise when people eat these fragments that are allegedly part of the
body of the alleged Lord? Don't some parts of these fragments become
parts of bodies, or alternatively end up in sewer lagoons?
Wouldn't it be a much more formidable task to reassemble these ingested
fragments to reconstitute the alleged Lord than working with fragments that
are just sweepings?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Or does the good reverend have a much deeper problem
distinguishing fantasy from reality, and therefore in need the services of a
competent mental health professional?</FONT></DIV>
