Actually, two hyphens equals a dash; space-hyphen-space is commonly understood, but grammatically incorrect. ^~ This wasn't bad. I'd agree with Clau, however, when she says that it didn't quite "hit ...

I agree with Kaz. Only a sadistic God would create a human being with "sinful" desires, knowing fully well (as He must) that humans are only mediocre when it comes ...
