Yes, that's why I used it. (Was I that opaque?)

At first I thought that it seemed that Ohio's rejoinder concerned (at least in part) the risks of seeking assistance from secular counseling. I'm not here to promote that specifically but a single or even many bad results doesn't undo the good that has been done in many other contexts. Just because some surgeons might kill you if you go to them doesn't mean surgeons are bad. Right, Ohio?

But on re-reading, I'm thinking that maybe Ohio mostly meant to say that the compartmentalization of human beings into these tidy categories has been used too frequently as an escape clause for anyone who might otherwise bear responsibility to see that human beings were healthy and proper before God and their fellow man (or woman, as the case may be.)

Did I get it right the second time, Ohio?
