Hey Magenta...you are a BEAUTIFUL SOUL!!! MWAH! I had daily religion classes during grammar school...which of course, means I absorbed ALL of it...NOT! I can barely remember anything from classes, just that I had to memorize the Ten big rules, and our pastor would come in to the classrooms by surprise and say "YOU! What's the 6th Commandment?!?" "YOU! What's the 9th Commandment?!?" and we were at once frightened, yet wanted to please him.....years later, we heard how he used to carry a GUN (!) when he walked through the Village....nice, huh? Glad we knew the commandments back then! I don't remember being told that other religions were *wrong* - they just never even TALKED about any other religions, that's how they got around that...... -- Eddie Pedantic Gasbag Discussion Group

On a sort of related but not really tangent....that's something I could never get - Certain Republicans (trying to not group people...there are a lot of Republicans I like) who are violently against abortion rights, and yet violently demand the right to carry a gun, which "Hello!" kills people.
