I'm not asking either of us to be right or wrong-- I'm asking for him to allow me the same ability to follow my religion that he wants for his religion. I don't tell him he is wrong for not being a Zen Druid-- I'm certainly not teling him he is wrong for being Christian. I simply want to be accepted as an equal-- his Christianity for him is just as right as my Zen Druidism is for me, and his Christianity for me would be just as wrong as my Zen druidism is for him. the key here is not right, not wrong, just different. chuq -- From the center of a Plaid pentagram: Chuq Von Rospach {cbosgd,decwrl,fortune,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo}!nsc!chuqui nsc!chuqui@decwrl.ARPA ~But you know, monsieur, that as long as she wears the claw of the dragon upon her breast you can do nothing-- her soul belongs to me!~
