JimS, did I answer this question satisfactorily for you. If so perhaps we could go back to my original question. Does love come from beyond humankind, that is...

Don, I don't need to use K's language to represent K's thought. What I've been insisting on is that K and his more religiously oriented pseudonyms believed...
