Peter, the subject under this current heading began with a discussion of
removing the divine element from priestly magic. I want to make it clear
that we have abandon talk of gods when we do so. Rather than just arguing
the semantics of a statement that only has any meaning within the context of
an argument, perhaps you would like to offer an actual argument about how
divine magic works, so your statements can be put in some kind of context.
