Well, there have been two sensible posts since my last email. First, “my buddy” Sean wrote: “No, no - it took us this long to get Humber over here. It is like a touch of home. I don't know about anyone else, but I am glad he's here.”

Thanks, Sean. I realize the word “buddy” may seem like something of a stretch, but in contrast to others, your post was welcome.

I will not lie, Paul: you and I disagree about matters of faith almost as strongly as is possible, to the point where I think your views are delusion in many respects. And yet I was not being facetious when I said I was glad to see you - I find you interesting. Your views enrich my world and allow me to explore ideas that would never normally occur to me. So if you consider me a buddy, I am proud to embrace that, even if we will never come to common ground on the fundamentals of our worldview. Forgive me of course, if I am occasionally flippant, or even sometimes outright blasphemous, in response, but please know that I do so with a genuine affection for you and your views.
