Thank you for your prejudice. It’s so good to know forehand that anything I say about theology is worthless. You are so very encouraging. Therefore, my saying that the book of Revelation, speaking to the Leodiceans, says, “I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm–neither hot nor cold–I am about to spew you out of my mouth,” is misinformed. Also, the metaphor is utterly random and unrelated to the rest of the poem. And of course I am really too uninformed to decide about any hierarchy of religions. That’s why I didn’t claim any, and only your prejudice claims that I did. Again thank you for your wonderfully enlightening clarification.
