that sense as somebody may aim to burst an airplane with people because of a
danger virus in that plane without the aim to kill people. I only reject the
vowels in people's Bible. But if I cannot erase the vowels from Bibles
(vowels are a virus), I may need to get rid from being under control of that
people, what causes these to throw me away (a separation).

that sometimes true senders of God destroy something and cause separations,
but this would be just a spend of time. (I think you just can remember these
citations yourself.)
