To do as you are suggesting would be akin to the unfortunate disposal of one's progeny along with the scented liquid in which said nursling had been cleansed.

I was going to throw some random stuff out there, just acting on blind faith but nothing felt complete and accurate.

Teacha.

How 'bout if I told you Thomas the apostle would not have gotten this reward!
