Tink, I really don't want to get into this with you. Your input on
transporting a kayak, building a rack etc indicates that you are, on
these matters, anything but hebetudinous.

On the topic of religion, however, all bets are off.

So, keeping in mind that I don't want to get into this with you, I ask
you to read this link you recommended and tell me if there aren't at
least a half dozen points made therein that are positively spooky.
Case in point: "It doesn't matter how old you are or how many bad
things that you have done in your life including lying and stealing all
the way up to murder."

Now that's just plain WRONG.

Not wrong because forgiveness is wrong, but wrong because IMHO, it
gives licence to all sorts of kooks to do all sorts of nasty deeds (I
bring up, one more time, nutbars flying planes into office buildings --
these guys had their own version of JC). "What the hell, I'll do
whatever I want, then spout off some mumbo-jumbo and all is OK again."

WRONG!

OK, Tink, I really don't want to get into this with you. Let's get back
to building my roofrack.

Cheers,
