Yo' salty and illuminated ones! Light of mankind not to be hid under a 
bushel! Piggy Wiggy here. So make a convert of me. Show me the fruition 
of your beliefs, ie "By their fruits ye will know them." When Discovery 
Ed TV had its show on the Pituru Village in the rain forest they noted 
how the Pituru ways would change with the imminent arrival of Christian 
Missionaries. Pretend that False Creek Village is a village of Pituru. Or 
are those nudist, infanticide-practicing Pituru more redeemable than 
False Creekers? Could it be that your teachings would change Pituru 
Village but not False Creek Village? And what on earth could the creation 
of a unified, cohesive, integrated Christian Village/City have to do with CU?
FWP.
