You believe more-or-less absolutely in a spook-in-the-sky 2. You believe in the particular interpretations one set of frequently self-drugged people (what do you think \your/ mind would be like after 40 days in the wilderness) have placed on the rules other group of equally strange people allege were handed down by the above-mentioned spook. Under the circumstances, I doubt it's worthwhile having a serious discussion with you, although I can understand the people who flame at you; I share the conclusion of many of them that people with your kind of rigid, absolutist belief structure are responsible for far more than their share of the world's misery \\regardless// of the nature of the beliefs. I tend to flame only at people/things I might be able to move by it, or I'd flame at you myself ("filthy practices" your sainted aunt's grape juice! I was told after they graduated that two of the most civilized people I knew at my high school were gay.)
