What kind of bridge?
Post deleted on the grounds that I didn't think anyone would take me seriously
You were commenting on 'Sufism -A Bridge between Religions' or maybe telling the joke about 'The Guy on the Bridge' or you were griping about the bad fit of your bridge.
Anon: Congratulations! The ultimate - in fact the only - response.
Ellena: All those things and more. Incidentally, Blogger's Stats revealed that this post attracted three pageviews before I felt compelled to delete it. So, conceivably, there is someone out there (possibly three) who could tell the world that the deletion was justified.
Well, I took you at your word that you were being serious. I was at work when I read your post and couldn't take time to answer you then, thinking I would do so when I got home. However, when I returned, the post was gone.
I may have misread your post (scanning too quickly to avoid getting caught not doing my job), but I thought you were asking about prayer/praying, whether we followed some formula or ritual or whether we just winged it; whether we believed in the power of prayer and, finally, were our prayers answered - is that right?
Have you abandoned the idea all together, or would you be interested in what I would have to say? (Not that it is earth-shaking or anything like that.) I can email it, if you'd rather.
(Ha! word verification is 'toucus'...too cuss - now somebody has a sense of humor!)
The Crow: Thanks for the offer. I'm astounded the post was read (by Sir Hugh as well as you) in the short time it existed. I think I'll leave it entombed. It was a casual thought, triggered by a vague idea that it might be useful when - if! - I finish editing Blest Redeemer and go on to something else. A project that's also pretty vague. VR thinks it would be wrong to start this hare given the proclamations I've made about atheism in the past and that however much I insist on being serious it probably won't stick.
Your memory worked well, by the way. That's a comfort I wouldn't mind on my own behalf.
No comment.

Something else which like the nature of dark matter which we will probably never know.
