But Michael, don't you think the cherry tree story is an illustration of my point? And that it doesn't matter if it's fiction?

Phil, regarding your post 56, please see my extended reply to Tom Rowland here -- especially the final sentence, which is meant by way of apology for you or anyone who has taken offense to my sometimes abrasive remarks.

P. S. Could this be further evidence of the thesis of my essay, summarized in its title? ;^)

"by way of apology for you or anyone who has taken offense to my sometimes abrasive remarks....I apologize to you and others if my occasional impatience and exasperation may have given some of my comments an edge I should have kept sheathed."

Robert, very classy response. (Thank you.) Phil

I too agree that Robert's article was right on!

The way I see it, the idea that humans can be "morally perfect" is an ego-driven fantasy. Robert speaks the truth.
