This series has been much more difficult for me than I expected. I have some very specific points I want to make, but organizing them in a coherent manner and leading up to them in a logical way has proven to be a monumental task.
You see, no one human person can set down a checklist of things to do to that will automatically work for every other individual acting on their own accord. This is the fatal flaw in the self-help sub-culture. People put all their eggs in someone else’s basket and expect them to miraculously turn into a delicious fluffy omelet, where in reality it might be too runny, or have too much pepper, or mushrooms or some other element unappealing to them.

when wicked deceivers surround me
‘Tis International Talk Like a Pirate Day! Ye best be celebratin’ appropriately. Arrr!
And, if by some miraculous chance there are any readers belonging to “the church of the flying spaghetti monster” (I can’t even bring myself to capitalize that), we hope you are enjoying your day off. Why don’t you drop us a line? We’d love to hear from you.
That goes for anyone. Moth and Ethan are here to answer your questions (with the help of others) about Creation and Intelligent Design to the best of their ability. We promise not to make fun of you.

Deal?
