Good point. Lots of other religions emphasize man's reaching upward to God. Christianity emphasizes that there is no way for man to bridge the gulf between God and himself; if God didn't bother to reach down to man, we'd all be done for, with no hope of reaching Him. -- Paul DuBois {allegra,ihnp4,seismo}!uwvax!uwmacc!dubois "Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight."
