It does take a few days for posts to be entered, so I trust time has
salved some wounds.

Speaking in a spiritual way to the analogy, and still using the idea that
2+2=5:
what one purports is contested, as suggested, by the math major's correction.
If the math major TEACHES that s 2=2=5, a humble devotee is not likely to
argue, unless of course one is more interested in reality than in dogma. For
example, the way to determine if the math major is correct is of course to see
if 2+2=5 works in math problems.
Fortunately, in a universe where 2+2=4, no ammount of chanting will make it
five.
So too in a universe where GOD is at hand, no ammount of chanting will
distance Him.
This works of course only for those who have ten fingers to work with.
