The canonical scriptures I take seriously, but, in the welter of
interpretations of those scriptures, there are some interpretations that
I cannot take seriously. Indeed, some are contradictory of others, making
them impossible to be held simultaneously. As to your challenge, I have
in the past taken note of various numerological views, from those
springing from the Kabala on to quite recent examples. Having reached a
rational analysis thereof, I need not look into further examples of the
same genre. While once my studies of numerology were fertilizing, I now
see no need for coprophagy.
