@Tack Well, I've heard the party line on the subject and you've given a faithful retelling of it, but whether or not it "makes sense" is an entirely different issue.
-defines vanilla as good and everything not of vanilla evil. -
You can't make things more chocolate, you can only take away more vanilla.
The problem with your line here is that you go from god to good and evil to light and dark, and then use the mechanics of light as though they were somehow inidicative of the "mechanics" of good and evil (or god). Well, that's taking a whole lot of steps away from the subject you actually want to talk about isn't it, only to circle back and apply this definition to the initial object. If the behavior of light can tell us about god then maybe we should be looking for god in CFL Bulbs?
In other words...platitude Tack. It sounds good..it's supposed to mean something, but it's all window dressing.
