Dear Doug,

I responded on this particular thread because Kent's comment raised an
interesting paradox; the tension between saying that individuals

Bahais.

Your current post, doesn't really address that and is getting into
subjects which we've talked about already. So in the interest of not
beating a dead horse, I'm going to ignore most of what you said.

But you do ask:

To a large degree, yes.

Peace
