Bob Suffolk says:
"Chaplain, you are one of the best respected people on ALOA. I don't know how you can endure the games of atheists but you have overcome them very well."
Lady Aban Ceaulosevic says:
"Chgaplain John, were I a "pure mystic" I would find your words offensive. However, as I have also felt the love of Christ and the wisdom of God, and the guidance of the Holy Ghost, I find your words most encouraging! It seems that God has use for anyone who will use their talents for good."
Dr. Kelly says:
"Brilliant work, Chaplain. We seldom agree on theology but philosophically, we could be brothers. I look forward to many more engaging conversations!"
pilgrimwb says:
"Thank you for your answers that cut through the fog of ethereal theological reflection. I wish we lived close by, so we could enjoy a cup of coffee together and "hold court on the world" (i.e., enjoy a rich conversation together)."
