"Dear David,

I apologize that this is merely a string of questions.

Your blog 'Life is a Trek' confuses me. Are these meant to be old postcards you wrote on previous 'treks'? Or as 'found objects' (written by others) that you are merely re-printing for fans of that sort of thing? And if not, I'm confused about you in general.

Are you gay? Are you straight? Were you a Jew in the past, or have you always being Christian? Are the answers to these questions that straightforward? You'll pardon my questions, but they flowed out of my head as I went over the entries.

Thanks in advance, A long term tourist in Israel."

No need for an apology.

Yes. I mention it twice at the site (and I'm not done with it yet) - the first post mentions the method behind the madness. I wish they could be read in order, but that's not how blogs work (or at least I don't know how to do it).

Are you gay? Are you straight?

I'm a recovering homosexual due to religious convictions, so help me God. God and the Gays

Were you a Jew in the past, or have you always being Christian?

I have never been a Jew according to halacha; never a member of Judaism. I am a Christian-Zionist who believes in the Israelite origins of the West as Herbert W. Armstrong taught.
