But the thing is, my view of the situation is at serious odds with Greene's presentation. Using God as an excuse to do or not do things you know to be wrong is just plain ... I probably can't continue this line of thought without reverting to the P&R forum. Let's just say I want to shake the lot of them. I might buy a paper copy of the book just so I can throw it around the room.

Seriously, I do agree with you about Greene. Imagine - Catherine, a complete stranger, writes to him saying she’s “converted” based on his books, and asks if he’ll be her godfather. He agrees
. So then they had an affair !!
