(Note: my condensation, not Karl's.) Happily, most Christians, Jews, Muslims, and other regligious folks seem to be able to get through most of life without trying to deliver "The Word" (whatever that is for each sect) to everyone else around them. It's the ones who volunteer endless streams of ideology, theosophy, and so forth to anyone in shouting range that irk those of us who would rather be left alone; perhaps these few extremely annoying people are the reason we sometimes over-react when the topic comes up. -- Rsk the Wombat UUCP: { allegra, decvax, ihnp4, harpo, teklabs, ucbvax } !pur-ee!rsk { allegra, cornell, decvax, hplabs, ihnp4, ucbvax} !purdue!rsk
