This is the deal:  below is a weird, speculative theological question.  Each of our staff has given his or her best answer to it.  We want your answer.  Next issue, we will put up the three best responses, whether they're ours our yours.  Each answer will get one point.  So, basically, its the four of us versus the world.  Obviously, your best strategy is attrition.  Preference is given to witty and/or precise, philosophical language.

This month's question is:

If a protestant who believes in "once saved always saved" also believed in the intercession of the saints, would it then follow that he could pray to himself?

So, what do you think?

By the way, this is a painting of St. Julian, who, we can be sure, is not praying to himself.  However, I'm sure, given the striking resemblance between the two figures, you get the idea.
