Alternative ways in?
In my essay I talked about some limited biblical evidence of people having access to God, or to some form of truth, via unorthodox routes.-
The witch of Endor, Balaam, and the psychic slave girl being three examples cited. Of course, these examples might be questionable because whatever knowledge they gained doesn't seem to have done them much good. From the inclusivist point of view, you probably wouldn't say that any of them were 'saved' through their religion, though it's possible that the slave girl was later converted.

In the contemporary situation I've read stories of people such as Melody Green (wife of Keith) and Brian Greenaway (Hells Angel) who have had experiences while on drugs that have led them to become Christians. I also read a little pamphlet once with about 10 stories from people who had become Christians after experiences while dabbling in occultic practices. It would be interesting to hear stories of other people who have turned to other religions after such expereiences.

This isn't exactly central to the theology of religions but it's an interesting side issue.

That's very kind of you.
I'm tempted to visit your site, really, but I've been practising on my arm for quite a long time now and I think I'm getting pretty good.
Is this Spam central?
Two in two minutes there! I guess by the time I publish this there will be another waiting for a response.
Spam?

Wonderful!
Is yours not technically spam then Tyler?
What does it matter what you call it? "A rose by any other name", as they say...
Buy some roses and then you can maybe use what you learnt at Kissing School.
Also, unless you have a tongue in your arm, this DVD might help you. It's worth the money for the outtakes alone.
Tyler - All That
Tyler, you're remarkably persistant.
I thought people who do what you do (whatever that might be called) generally speaking, just went through a load of blogs randomly inserting their message. Maybe that's why you're different?
Tell me, did you find me just randomly, or do we have a mutual contact?
Would you like to kiss my arm?
If by 'blogs' you mean 'girls' mouths', and by 'message' you mean 'tongue', then I guess you've been checking out the websites.
Since you're a guy, I think we have just about enough mutual contact, you and I, without me kissing your arm.
Tyler - Da bomb
So, Tyler, are you saying that you randomly go through girls' mouths inserting your tongue?
That would seem to be the implication if I were to substitute 'blogs' for 'girls' mouths' and 'message' for 'tongue' in my previous comment.
Do you do this in the context of kissing or do you just stick your tongue randomly into any girl's mouth at any time and hope for the best? Should I take advice from someone who does this?
Maybe that is what I'm saying. I don't know. Is that what you think I'm saying? Maybe you're putting words into my mouth. Though what a boring thing words would be to put there. Heh heh heh.
Though I'll level with you, rowland. You got one thing spot on. I do hope for the best. And I know the best would be to get the chance to stick my tongue randomly into girl's mouths, I suppose more often than not in the context of kissing, and it is what I hope for, but you're right and you shouldn't take advice from me. I'm all talk.
Gosh, rowland, I'm so alone.
:'(
Tyler - sad inside
THis correspondance is rather entertaining!!
Oh Tyler, what are we going to do with you?
Do you think sticking your tongue into women's mouths will make you happy? Will such promiscuity of the tongue make you any less lonely?
I'd rather find one woman with whom I could share my saliva on a long term basis. If we have enough in common, besides saliva, then we won't be lonely.
BTW, Are you saying you'd like me to put something other than words into your mouth? I won't do it!
Other anonymous person
This is indeed more entertaining that I could ever have hoped it would be. Thanks be to Tyler!
Sadly, it's probably more interesting than I intended it to be.
If that won't work, what will?
I remember at school one of my teachers talked about eating, and how your tongue just wants company. So eating sweets just gives it something nice to do. But C12H22O11 isn't the only type of sugar a person needs. Heh heh heh.
[You should also check out this website for diagrams of other sugars that aren't the only sugars we need. I think this stuff is cool.]
If you put sweets in my mouth that'd be ok, because I don't feel like we're strangers any more, but I don't really want your tongue anywhere near me. And definitely not until I've seen your arms first.
I hope you find a good spittle-buddy, if you think that'll work for you. Each to his own. I want something more. Or at least more of something less. Heh heh heh.
Tyler - having a good day
Hi, was just checking back and I saw someone is pretending to be me. I haven't written any of that stuff, and I'm not lonely. Not likely!
You won't be lonely either if you check out my site

Are you claiming to be Arlene Borg? I think you (both/all) are winding me up. And I suspect that egregious McAvoy is involved in some way.
Nice move with the sugar by the way, it was with a sense of trepidation that I followed that link.
But I'm the real anonymous person!Not you!
But
I'm the real anonymous person!!
I'm the real anonymous person. I that is me is really the anonymous person.
You're all anonymous, and you're welcome. Mine is a broad church.
Thank you.
Ah yes.
Only one came back to say 'thanks'. But that one is the one that you can trust.
