    its too ponderous to read through


    btw: good writing need not be dumbed down. It might help if you paid attention to the rules of grammar etc... and eliminated some of the run on sentences, then people might actually take a minute and read through your post. I am certain you had something important to say, but for the life of me I can't be bothered to read all of it.

    okay, let me help you out a bit. It's not fair to level criticism without the benefit of constructive redirection. I have taken the liberty of rewriting your op in a manner that is likely to be read and pondered by your target audience, and less likely to be the subject of ridicule. Here goes:

    In terms of human perception, which is your preferred field of choice? Empiricism and/or Rationalism seem to be the popular choices in which people make sense of the world around them, relying on what we see feel, taste, or on what we know or can prove to be true.


    What if it's the bottom of the 9th, bases loaded, the whole season at stake and the cleanup batter at the plate defies common wisdom by laying down a perfect first base line drag bunt and the entire infield is playing habitually back without a clue that in this game it isn't about the first two fields of human perception, but rather by Faith Perception?

    No, I'm afraid it didn't help. I don't think this one can be resuscitated.

True especially whenever open hostility toward the source has already rejected any possibility of worthwhile content; and the reader's cynicism has already predetermined not to give the the writer a fair shake, nor the post an objective hearing.

    No chance that it's because so often your "messages" are platitudes wrapped in layers of self-indulgent bombast?

    Let's stand upright on our wobbly hind legs, guys, and face the facts: 1) that we're all

    still pitiful works in progress and 2) the work yet to be done isn't about punctuation.
