Also: you will note that I have not capitalized the traditional words (many of which are traditionally capitalized) but I have capitalized many of the words in the right hand-column. I mean no disrespect by this: it's an object lesson in political correctness - christians don't capitalize MY words so I feel no compulsion to capitalize theirs. The christian words do not refer to deities I venerate - I mean them no disrespect, but do not feel I need to give them undue respect either.
