Thanks for the summary, ALG. You explained it very well.
I'm a very practical person myself. And as you and I both have noted, you don't have to live a life of spiritual faith in LoA or God or "we're all one" or pink unicorns to live a successful life. What matters (practically) is thinking positive, visualizing success, etc.
I also tripled my income this year, but ummm... not quite as impressive as your numbers. But hey I'm a young guy in school. Nice job.
Debates can get old pretty quickly to me too, Cylon.
Thanks for the interesting discussion all. You guys have said so much that I don't really have much new to add. Goodbye everyone!
