Yes, I see you are confused – twice even. I was just trying to carry on with the language metaphor, somehow implying that not only do I know so little and know it so fluently, I know FIVE so little and know them so fluently. You know – people sometimes brag that they are fluent in five or seven or twenty-three languages? I am confused five times, apparently.
If God is watching us, as some believers suggest, as though we were a television show and God had a lot of free time, the deity would surely be bemused by how dumbed-down devotion has sometimes become in this so-called modern era. How might an omnipotent being with the long view of history respond to those who visit the traveling exhibit of a grilled-cheese sandwich, sold on eBay, that is said to bear the image of the Virgin Mary? It certainly argues against intelligent design, or at least intelligent design in humans.Anna Quindlen (1953- ) Newsweek (January 2, 2006)
