[lit-ideas] Re: Exercise

I first came upon the phrase "hardness of heart" in a book which happened to be 
about religion.  So that's what I associate it with.  The book was, "The Gospel 
According to Peanuts."  I never use the phrase, because either by your 
definition Julie or mine, I find it offensive.

  I've always thought  "hardness of heart"  indicates that the hard-hearted one 
is emotionally insensitive, or lacking in *feeling*, rather than a verdict on 
their *belief*.
