Star Wars IRL - “Alone”

I’ve decided that this is as good a place as any to conclude the debate/conversation I’ve been having with Andrew Bartlett.  It’s not a conversation that continue indefinitely and I am at a stage where I need to give my time to other matters that are more my priority here on Faithroots, specifically I’ve got some more work to do on Jesus and the Gospels/Luke and on the Doctrine of Humanity which…
