bah, it's all good. i think it's really great that you're doing some pretty heavy thinking of your own on these issues. i find myself constantly fascinated by the tension created between respect for other people's beliefs and adherance without betrayal to your own. sometimes the best understanding of God comes from holding two seeming contraditions in tension with one another (for example the trinity vs. one God) rather than from trying to stick a firm label on things that puts understanding into one camp or another. it is never a bad thing to be reminded of that. one of my favorite episcopalians is vale797 who is a priest in tennesee and one of the scariest ventrue i know. :)
