Your comments are received with appreciation. At the end of the day, it is hard to deny the force of number 6. Naturally, and of course this 'naturally' might be exactly that, it's hard to give up something that I enjoy and feel isn't a participation in evil, primarily because I make a conscious effort to not think of it as mimicking evil, let alone practicing evil. But feelings often have little to do with making good choices. I'm aware of that.

Thanks again for your godly counsel.

Austin
