	/* ---------- */

I have a lot of say now.  If your hypothetical Judge gave me that say,
then I would think that my judgement has a lot of value.  I must guide
my life by principles that I can discern as good and proper.  I have no
other guide.  You started at the same place, and your judgement has
lead to you adopt the principles of Christianity, whereas I have chosen
to adopt those I can justify to myself.  I disgree with your choice or
I would have made it, and I'm sure you disagree with mine.  But our
choices are equally valid, in that they are made by our own \internal/
judgements of validity.  So my "say" matters as much as the
"historians" and "learned men" you base your "say" on.  Only if I find
myself in the hands of your vindictive and petty Judge would I have to
worry, and I worry about that no more than you worry about encountering
Pluto.
