: Hey MK....

: Good point.....
: But what about the - dum dumdumdum - ToD? If that story took place BEFORE Raiders, I think Indy's "flippant remarks" suddenly resonate as "Aw man, not ANOTHER one...?!?" sort of feeling. Perhaps his ideals HAD changed a bit by the end of that adventure, but then we get to LC, and I'm not so sure. He may be a bit more...uh...GROWN, so to speak, but it's not UNTIL he has to make a choice about his belief system TO SAVE HIS FATHER that he DECIDES to turn to the dar...er...become a believer (Just ribbin ya!). What if his father *HADN'T* been shot? Would he STILL have made the Leap of Faith (both figuratively and literaly)?

: And let me run one more by ya...what if the crack about "magic, alot of superstitious hocus-pocus" WASN'T about religion per se? I mean, if *I* had survived nearly having my heart ripped out by some raving loony in the backwater of the world in appeasance (is that a word?) to his freakish deity, then I'd be pretty reluctant to hear ANYTHING about ANY sort of "otherwordly" power/magic/whatever that, in all honesty, deals strictly with an abstract notion of a "higher Power".

: Oh, and before you take offense, let me say that I am not, in ANY way, belittling your beliefs, ok?

: Thanks for reading,
: Later pal,
