Sidney,

First of all, on the religious issue, as far as I'm concerned, anybody an pray to whoever they want to.. But they do it in private and not try to influence people..

There are many routes over the Sierras, sometimes I want to take I-80, sometimes 50, sometime 88, but they all lead to same destination.. I don't feel "unconfortable" as some people stated taking only one route to heaven, which is,,, ?? I am not to going to tell you.. Because my heaven might be your hell and vice versa.

Second of all, I don't know how many of you people follow stock threads.. but based upon my OBSERVATIONS, and I feel confortable with them, is.. If someone puts their name
on the thread,, such as so and so and friends, circle jack etc. and they claim to be so straight.. and they they don't p n' d , BEWARE..

They didn't cost me money today, I made money today in a sheety market...BUT I HATE TO SEE OTHER PEOPLE TAKEN, it's just my nature.. I don't like B.S. in anything..

THIS is just my opinion of course..

Have a nice evening and we will see how Monday goes.. Predicted a turn around about Monday or Tuesday.. so far it is playing out..

coug

<< Unfortunately the liberal side of the God issue believe that God should be chased from the schools to hide in the homes of those loathsome Christians. Like a hunted Jew in Nazi Germany! That's more what Del believes I think! >>

You're being a bit over dramatic here aren't you. Asking Christians to obey the law, and stop imposing their prayers on captive audiences is hardly hunting them down.

Et tu, Sidney? Is it really that simple in even your mind? Nothing more than liberals wanting to chase God out of the schools, like a Jew in Nazi Germany? Is that what you really believe?

Did you learn nothing in history? Nothing about the people who came to America, seeking religious freedom from state-run churches? Seeking religious freedom from religious persecution? Did you learn nothing at all about that?

How sad. All the poor Protestants in France, killed on St. Bartholomew's Day, forgotten. All the poor Catholics in Ireland, killed by Cromwell, forgotten. All the poor Baptists, burnt at the stake, forgotten. No, of course, we are enlightened now. Man no longer kills man because of religion. They aren't killing each other in Iraq, Iran, India, Pakistan, China, Bosnia, Kosovo, Ireland, because of their religions anymore, are they?

This country is a bastion of freedom because man does not kill man on the basis of religion. And the Michaels tell you that a little "friction" between sects is preferable to what we have now.

Would we be better off like Ireland, like Kosovo? I don't think so.

My point exactly. We should celebrate, not denigrate, our heritage and traditions. JLA
