I wisely decided to post this on a more open-minded forum first. Now that it's "trial run" has run its course on that board, the most efficient thing is to just post this here:

If you respond here, I will happily follow THIS board's rules. If you respond there, I will expect you to follow THAT board's rules.

If I have followed correctly, the trial article is in praise of THE Bible. This is the first hurdle. There is no such beast. Are you unaware that different faiths include and exclude different books from their Bible. Perhaps you could be more specific about which/whose Bible you are in praise of?

You did not follow anything. Read carefully: did I ever accuse the Bible of being true or false?

Irrelevant.

Hint: I am NOT an xian.

Being in praise of something is not making claims of truth or falsehood.
Why don't you stop playing games and just post the article, and watch it get moved to it's rightful location, an irrelevant spot.

I have not played YOUR games, if you were paying ANY attention.

Tell me something else about your apocryphal article, is there anything which doesn't originate from "a sauce"? Or is there only one sauce and is that why it is capitalised and called "the sauce"?

I've personally experienced "the zone" and, as far as the phenonemon as it relates to sports activities, it is the result of rigorous practice. There is really no need to appeal to any mystical concepts to obtain some measure of understanding of it but I do believe it has to be experienced to be truly understood.

With regard to the authorship of the various books comprising the Christian Bible, it seems to me that the notion they were in "the zone" while writing seems entirely subjective and difficult, if not impossible, to establish by any objective criteria.

My initial reaction to the discussion in the other forum was that it reminded me a lot of many discussions in which I was involved in college that involved at least one bong.

My second reaction is that BC&H may not be the best home for your thread.
