    Re: Does God have a monopoly on gods? —Larry Pieniazek
   Good point (...) But is it a dichotomy or a trichotomy. (rational/irrational vs. rational/not rational/irrational)... I'd say the latter. As I was alluding to in a different portion of the thread, I can have and enjoy emotions without letting them (...) (24 years ago, 12-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: Does God have a monopoly on gods? —Jeremy H. Sproat
