 Hello John and thank you for writing!

 CH>  Yep, just as it is for evil, right?  Which, of course, gives us

 JB> As I said before, yes.  However, I went on to say, it is

 Well, of course, we are going around in circles now, like a dog
 chasing his tail, so if you do not see it, there apparently no 
 way that this old man can explain it to you, for if truth and
 facts don't do it, this old man sure ain't gonna lie about it!
 :'(     :)

 CH>  JB> I did, "not-good" is that which is not "good." 
 CH>  JB> How do we define "good?"  We define "good" through  
 CH>  JB> the bible.  
 
 CH>  And just what in Heaven's Name is "evil" if it is "not-good"? 
 
 JB> Yep. 
 
 Boy, you sure did have the old man wondering there for awhile if
 we were even talking about the same thing!

 CH>  JB> Because we follow his wants doesn't mean, he sets

 CH>  JB> him.   
 
 CH>  It works both ways, don't cha' know? 
 
 JB> No, I didn't know. 
 
 OK, so now you do and isn't it wonderful!
 CH>  JB> In answer to your question, I have none. 
 
 CH>  Sorry about that! 
 
 JB> Me too, but it is the moral thing to do.  For if I 
 JB> had them, I could not be individually responsible 
 JB> (accumulation enough funds to take care of myself 
 JB> without social security or medicare all funded by 
 JB> others). 
 Since answering and reading 4-500 posts a day, just have no idea
 of what the question was, since it is now gone bye bye!  
 Had what?
 As for the rest of the paragraph, just have no earthly idea of
 what you are talking about, sorry!
Just another humble servant of The Kingdom.......clarence.......
... If I made myself clear, let me know and I'll start over.
