My material is all entered in!

He Who Must Not Be Named's comments on an earlier version:
your skepticism is essentially neo-Jansenism of the Lutheran school
- ie. distaste at orthodoxy, a return to a more mystical
understanding, personal comprehension and moral srepsonsibility

yes, but your essay actually talks a lot about personal experience and understanding of the divine basis for moral conduct, which is pretty much in line iwth the mystical experience (ie. Sufiism, some of the Waldensian heresies, etc)
