Bible Note: Hi, pastor... I thought of using "pregnancy" for purposes of analogy; but that was too hackneyed. I also considered avoiding an analogy altogether by using the more precise phrase "binary, mutually exclusive alternative states"; but that was too arcane. Consequently, I returned to a different analogy: "mortality;" which thing had the added benefit of being a good biblical metaphor. Alas, it is a trying thing to tread betwixt precision and perspecuity. And... well... it ain't no fun no how. :-) Too bad we can't take the way of the masses and simply take no responsibility for our words. That sure would be easier, but we won't be held accountable for our ease instead of for our every word. In Him, Doc |
