Theos-Talk Archives (December 2002 Message tt00629)

Hi Larry and all of you,

Thanks for your thoughts, Larry.
I just find it so interesting, that this guy helps so many !
If he in a sense canlead business people to greater awareness about the
existence of God, I think that is a good thing. Better than nothing, but
also troublesome.
Because, Yes, wisdom teaching is best.
