I'm sorry. But I still resent being flamed for what I do or don't believe. And don't get me wrong. I don't mind in the least discussing beliefs, mine and those of other people. I am definitely in favor of talking about beliefs. But I think that maybe we all should be careful about what we write in order to avoid insulting others. Also, we have to find a way to criticize/talk about articles which have been submitted without insulting the submittor(sp?). If that requires taking this discussion to another groups, then let's! I guess it comes down to this. Everyone believes something. There is no way to make a moral judgement about that belief, although you may disagree with it. But if you disagree with someone, then say so and say why. Now let't hear what everyone else thinks. I hear the voices of a few people on this group loud and clear, but what about those of you who just read and don't contribute. We'd like to hear from you, and we will do our best (at least I will) to talk about it without flaming you into cinders. Still apologetic, Meredith Morris
