     It  is not a simple thing to agree  upon  definitions                                                                     
of:   (1)  Idolatry,   (2)  Sin,  (3)  Evil,   (4)  Right-       
eousness, (5)  Salvation,  (6)  Good.     There  are  many               
tragic    consequences   which   flow   from    pretending                                                                     
(collusively) that arriving at such agreements is simple.                                                   
                                                                                                                               
     Even when definitions have  been arrived at (possibly                                                                     
collusively)  it is not a simple thing to: (1)  Recognize,                                                   
(2)  Name,  (3)  Describe,  and (4)  Use such descriptions                                                                     
of that which has been defined.  None of the four steps is                                                            
simple,   except when made to  appear simple  through  the                                
playing of collusive games of mutual self-deception. 
                                                                                                                               
     Yet,  each of the above ten things is essential to an                  
understanding  of  the full implications of the two  great                                                    
commandments to: (1)  Love God with all our hearts, minds,                                           
and souls, and to (2)  Love our Neighbors as our Selves.                                           
                                                                                                                               
     Complexity in regards  to all of the above flows from                                 
the  reflexive aspects of all of the above,  and  from our     
tendency to be defensive when we feel insecure;  a feeling                                                                     
which engenders attitudes, thoughts, thinking, conclusions                                                                     
and behaviors which exacerbate our insecurity.                                                       
                                                                                                                               
     Open  and honest discussion regarding what the  above                                 
text  points to ---  will be essential to the enjoyment of                  
both personal and communal integrity.
