I'm not looking to argue, just to understand. And there's already a ton of threads on tongues and Catholicism. Sometimes it's nice to step back from the firing line and take a break with something else. A momentary diversion, as it were.
But this also applies, somewhat, to scripture interpretation. How do you look at things? Someone who sticks to a strict analytical book knowlege would answer 3/8 based on the "HHT" charting. Someone who lives a more street-functional existence will answer 1/4 because, as they lay on the floor, HHT, HTH, and THH are
functionally all one and the same result. 2 heads and 1 tail. Applied to, say, tongues, a book analyst might just find them dead. But a guy in the trenches, looking more at the overall results than the critical analysis, will find that they're alive and well. And isn't that somewhat what we find here on the tongue threads? The bookworms are against it, the worker bees are for it. In general that is.
Does that make any sense and make it more appropriate for discussion?
It would be interesting to take 3 quarters and toss them 100 times, logging the overall results, and see what that trial shows.
On a related note, I found these interesting tidbits: according to a university study, a coin flipped will land showing the side that was originally up 51% of the time. And a coin spun on it's edge will land tails up 80% of the time, because the head side is slightly heavier.
And I have flipped a quarter and seen it land on it's edge. How does that figure into the equation?
OK, enough diversion. What thread is Zone on?
